Grey wishes the President to know of these telegrams.
Talk then became personal and informal.

I went over the whole subject again, telling how the Press and people of the United States were becoming critical of the British Government; that they regarded the problem as wholly American; that they resented aid to Huerta, whom they regarded as a mere tyrant; that they suspected British interests of giving financial help to Huerta; that many newspapers and persons refused to believe Carden's denial; that the President's policy was not academic but was the only policy that would square with American ideals and that it was unchangeable.

I cited our treatment of Cuba.

I explained again that I was talking unofficially and giving him only my own interpretation of the people's mood.

He asked, if the British Government should withdraw the recognition of Huerta, what would happen.
"In my opinion," I replied, "he would collapse." "What would happen then--worse chaos ?" "That is impossible," I said.
