PRESIDENT: We've travelled a long way since this Mexican trouble began--a long way with His Majesty's Government.

When your policy was first flung at 'em, they showed at best a friendly incredulity: what! set up a moral standard for government in Mexico?
Everybody's mind was fixed merely on the restoring of order--the safety of investments.

They thought of course our army would go down in a few weeks.

I recall that Sir Edward Grey asked me one day if you would not consult the European governments about the successor to Huerta, speaking of it as a problem that would come up next week.

And there was also much unofficial talk about joint intervention.
Well, they've followed a long way.
