WILSON'S POLICY UPHELD
BY MEXICAN DIPLOMAT
Former Minister to Russia Says
Huerta Will Be Forced
to Yield

LONDON, November I2-MigUel Coyar-
rubias. the former Mexican minister t.
Russia is quoted b. the Daily Chronicle
as being of the opinion that Gen Huerta
will soon be forced TO understand that he
lacks the support Of civilized countries
and this. together with the growing
strength OF the constitationalists, viii i'm
pei him to seek way out Of the difficulty
for himself. At present, says Senior Gov
arrubias. while Gen. Huerta believes he
possesses real power, he regards leaving
his post as an act of desertion.
The former minister considers that We
MUSTANG Carranza would make a good
president. but that lglesias Caldcron
would be altogether the best man for the
position.

Calls U. S. Policy Practical.

Questioned concerning President Vii
sons policy. Senior Covarrubias said he
believed the President was guided by
very statesnanlike motives and that his
policy was. practical rather than idealis-
tic.
Il am sure" he continued. THAT IN.
United States will not find il necessary to
intervene. II Is not matter against the
Mexican people. but against Huerta and
his small band of supporters. Events have
proved that he canot rule Mexico and
once he realizes that his position is un-
tenable the Mexican people may be trust
ed to install a government which will be
an expression OF the popular will.
AS TO foreign concessions and interests
no democratic government would inter
fere with them. II is a great mistake to
suppose that Francisco Madero was op-
posed to concessions; he only desired to
keep them within decent bounds"

President Wilson IN Doubt
Whether He Has Authority
to Arm Rebels in Mexico

Although the ma Jority OF the democratic
members III the Senate committee ON for
eiSn relations II present appear 10 favor
the proposition to permit the Mexican
constitutionalists the right 10 import arms
and ammunition from the United States
on even terms with the federal forces,
President Wilson himself. unless he has
made up his mind very recently. is in
doubt as 10 his authority TO permit that to
be done. When the matter was last I'M
Ger consideration the President pointed
out that there was Of course no doubt of
the authority OF Congress, by special en-
sctment, TO amend the existing neutrality
laws so as to allow the free sale and de-
livery of American war supplies to any
factions in NeXico. That power follows
as consequence Of fact that the present
prohibition against the delivery of arms TO
the insurgents exists by virtue OF an act
OF Congress.
IL has been represented to the President
by some of the senatorial lawyers that
he does not need legislation TO throw
down the bars to the free supply OF arms
and ammunition To the insurgents, be-
cause the Root amendment 10 the old neu-
trality act allowed the President full dis
cretionary power IN this matter. Ut last
accounts the President was Stili uncertain

that contention.
