Foreign News: No Jealousy

The Daily Chronicle, considered to be Lloyd George’s journal, stigmatized the proposed U. S. sale of arms to Mexico (See NATIONAL AFFAIRS) as “a perceptible step toward a de facto American protectorate” in that country.

“Obregon,” continued the newspaper, “will, if he prevails, owe his success to Washington, which cannot, therefore, but have some voice in his use thereof. The strategic position and the immense natural wealth of Mexico makes any such change of great importance to the world. But there is nothing for Britain to criticize. We feel no jealousy toward the United States in this matter.”
