London For Intervention.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 13, 1913:
Press Believes the Washington Government Might Act Properly.
    LONDON, Thursday, Feb. 13.— Several of the London morning newspapers print editorial comment on the Mexican trouble. They generally recognize justification for American intervention.
    The Daily Mail says: "American interests involved are very great. If the Mexicans are wise they will settle their difference as speedily as possible."
    The Standard says: "Nobody would seriously object if the Washington State Department carried its activity still further. With the completion of the Panama Canal American interest in the security and stability of the Central American States will grow too strong to be denied, and Mexico must get her affairs in proper order or accept the jealous supervision of her great neighbor."
    "American intervention is unavoidable," says The Daily Graphic, which adds: "This may profoundly modify the political geography of North America."
