France To Support Wilson.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 26, 1913:
Will Make Representations to Huerta, but Will Receive de la Barra.
    PARIS, Aug. 25.— The French Foreign Office cabled instructions to the French Minister in Mexico on Friday to support the policy of the United States toward Mexico strongly by making friendly representations to Provisional President Huerta.
    The French Government declares itself convinced by its advices from Washington of the sincerity of the pacific intentions of the United States Government toward the Mexican people.
    A rumor emanating from apparently well-informed, circles indicated that President Raymond Poincaré would not receive Francisco de la Barra, recently appointed Mexican Minister to France, but inquiries at the Foreign Office today brought out the authoritative affirmation that the French Ministry would not raise the slightest difficulty to the reception of Señor de la Barra by the French President at an early and convenient date.
    It was pointed out that the question of the acceptability of Señor de la Barra in France had been settled before he left Mexico for Paris, and that he was a friend of President Poincaré as well as of Etienne Pichon. the French Minister of Foreign Affairs.
    Señor de la Barra has arrived in Paris, and the Mexican Chargé d'Affaires will make immediate inquiries at the Foreign Office as to when he can present his credentials.
