CABINET IS IN FULL ACCORD WITH PRESIDENT WITH RE.
 FERENCE TO MEXICO
NO BACKWARD STEP NOW
Believed That to Lift Embargo on Arms Would be the Easiest Soluti on of the Problem Which this Country Now Is Facing.

Washington, Nov l1-President Wilson's cabinet stands firmly behind him in his efforts to force the retire ment of Provisional President Huerta as a necessary step to the pacifica- ton of Mexico.
 For more than two hours today the cabinet discussed every phrase of the Mexican situation and the concensus of opinion was that the United States government should not take a single backward step in itv announced pro gram looking to the restoration of constitutional government in the southern republic. ....
 Though the cabinet members ware reticent as 10 teday's meeting, 1t be- came known that all favored steps which would convince Huerta thag the United States was in earnest in it's demand that he eliminate himself from the situation. On the question of raising the embargo on arms, the cabinet members expressed various opinions. Some of them recognized in this method a practical and per haps early solution of the difficulty but there was no final decision on the point
 There is hope on the part of both President Wilson and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permitting exportation of arms may not be required to solve the problem. Influences are at work which, in the opinion of many officials, may force the early collapse of the Huerta re- zine There is a closer understand ing, for instance, and more frequent communications between the state de partment here and foreign govern ments generally than has been in eyi- dence at any time since the Mexican problem became so widely internat- ional Not only through the Ameri- can embassies and legations abroad but through the diplomatic corps in Washington. Secretary Bryan is giv- ing such detailed information of the American policy as to leave no doubt Of what the United States would like to see accompanied. So far as Is known, there have been no direct requests for foreign support. But the strong intimations that the United States would like foreign nations to refrain completely from interference in the affairs of the Huerta govern ment are expected to produce tangible results
 What the United States is seeking is an acquiescence in its policy by the powers, such an approval to carry with it discoura cement of financial aid to the Huerta regime through any foreign subjects A few attacks If financial isolation 1t is believed by high officials here, will force the re- tirement of Huerta.
 That President Wilson might pos sihly issue a statement in a day or two making a comprehensive eXplana- ton of the purposes of the United States was indicated by some of the diplomats who have been fully inform ed about the situation. The presi- dent 1t is said, has not finally deter mined whether he shall make another announcement, but it has been sug- gested to him that such declaration might place on record before the world the reasons why the elections conducted by the Huerta government for president. vice president ana members of congress in Mexico could not be recognized by the United States.
 It is reported that in this connec- ton too, the president may announce the repudiatlon in advance Of any acts of the new congress, which General Huerta has said would b2 convened on November 20.
 President Wilson was in communi- cation again today through Senator Bacon with the members of the senate foreign relations committee. The president feels that members of the committed republicans and democrats alike are supporting the policy or the executive and he is giving serious Consideration to their views as to the removal of the embargo on arms.
 It was reported today that Str Edward Tyrell, private secretary to the British foreign minister, Sir Edward Grey, had obtained Secre' tary Bryan's views and had trans mitted them in long report of the situation to London. The British
