Praises Wilson's Motives.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 27, 1913:
But London Graphic Doubts if His Policy Is Practical.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Wednesday, Aug. 27.— The Daily Graphic alone comments upon the latest development of the Mexican situation. After expressing its sincere hope that a means has been found to avert a quarrel which may lead to disastrous consequences, The Graphic says:
    "President Wilson is actuated by motives which are new in American statecraft. Considerations of expediency or of the material interests involved do not weigh with him. He declines to recognize Huerta because to do so would be to condone a moral wrong. This resolution commends our respect, as no doubt it commands the support of the progressive elements in America, which carried Wilson into power; but whether it is practical politics is another question."
    In view of President Huerta's position and his recognition by other powers, The Graphic says he would be more than human if he consented to efface himself in order to satisfy the moral scruples of Wilson and Bryan.

    LONDON. Aug. 26.— "The difficulty of the mission of John Lind to Mexico was from the beginning that the American Government had nothing to offer to Provisional President Victoriano Huerta if he acceded to its request," comments The Westminster Gazette in an article on the Mexican situation today. The Government organ adds:
    "It is easy to smile at the position in which President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan find themselves, but it is no worse than the position in which the European powers have been landed by the refusal of Turkey to respect the treaty of London."
