New York Times 100 years ago today, August 11, 1913:
London Graphic Condemns It and Times Praises Wilson's Aim.
LONDON, Aug. 11.— In an editorial this morning, The Daily Graphic says: "The mission of John Lind to Mexico has all the disadvantages of meddlesomeness without the advantages of intervention. It can have no terrors for President Huerta, because ho force is behind it, and prudent men will be thankful if it only fails decently."
The Times in an editorial agrees that President Wilson is acting entirely within his rights and says it would be good policy on the part of the Mexican Government to listen to Mr. Lind's representations in the spirit in which they are made and not to irritate American opinion by stickling about punctilio.
"President Wilson," the editorial continues, "has shown great moderation and an earnest desire to refrain as much as possible from intervention, and Americans, for the most part, would be delighted to see Mexico settle her own quarrels in an amicable way."
