Says Wilson Is Being Used.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 23, 1913:
London Saturday Review Assails His Policy Toward Huerta.
    LONDON, Saturday, Aug. 23.— The Saturday Review, in a leading article today, savagely attacks President Wilson's Mexican policy. It says President Wilson "unconsciously is playing the game of those in the United States who want control of Mexican politics in order to fill their own pockets." Concluding, the article says: "If he wishes to plunge his own country into a war that would last for years, drive Mexico back into anarchy and play the game of his own political enemies, he will continue his present policy and try to break down the Huerta regime. On the other side is the alternative of accepting a trifling reverse of policy. Recognizing facts, he will have to adopt one policy or the other. Neither may be pleasant, but there can be no doubt which one is recommended by humanity and common sense."
