Monroe Doctrine Safe.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 5, 1913:
Del Valle Denies Talk of Foreign Interference in Mexico.
    LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.— Reginald F. Del Valle is at home to-day after having reported to President Wilson the results of his mission as Special Commissioner of the American State Department to Mexico.
    He said the reports that foreign Governments had sent ultimatums or were intending to take liberties with the Monroe doctrine were false.
    "Foreigners in Mexico are friendly to the United States," said Mr. Del Valle, "and have no desire to precipitate trouble. They understand they must have patience."
    Mr. Del Valle said he talked to 1,500 Mexicans of all classes, and while he found some feeling against Americans as a class, Americans individually were well liked.
    Regarding reports of organized attempts to colonize Japanese in Mexico, Mr. Del Valle said:
    "Virtually there is no such thing as Japanese colonization in Mexico. The talk of the programme of Japanese colonization amounts to nothing."
