nize the Huerta government and any
acts of the new, soon-to-be-convened
Huerta congress. 1t is understood
Washington will not guarantee any
business or commercial relations with
the Huerta regime, and will stand by
any locally constituted government re-
p%udiating future loans or transactions
of the present government
Senator Borah told the president the
resignation of Huerta would leave the
government in the hands of no respon-
sible persons. Borah wants the embar-
go on arms for the Constitutionalists
removed and believes the Constitutions
alists would be in Mexico City in 80
days and take the chance at securing
and preserving peace which he thinks
they deserve The lifting of this EN-.
barge he believes to be the next log
ical step for the United States to take.
Senator McCumber considers the
lifting of the embargo favorably, but
realizes that the President is unwill-
ing to send more arms into the rebel
lion-tOrn republic and add to the mad
ness OF the rebellion. He thinks the
Huerta regime will soon collapse be-
cause of its financial distress.
Senator Bacon, Democrat, chairman
Of the Foreign Relations Committee,
said that a majority of the members
of his committee favored the raising
OF the embargo. TO the suggestion
that such a thing would be inhuman,
some Senators have said that it would,
On the contrary, end the revolution
quickly and save Mexico the blood
shed of a n%ever-ending struggle
The Temps" a Partisan journal Of
international prominence, commenting
on Mexico, says:
The European powers whose inter
ests are identical on the question OF
Mexico, should make it understood at
Washington that humanity has nothing
to gain by the armed Intervention OF
the United States. This would mean
danger to all foreigners, interminable
guerilla warfare and still greater sac
rifices on the part Of European inter-
ests. AS for putting the power into the
hands of such Constitutionalists as
Henry Lane Wilson described, the re-
suits would be worse anarchy than at
present"
President Huerta plans to remain in
office until December 6, 1916, the regu-
lar election constitutional date.
General Huerta exnects the diplo-
matte support of England, Germany
and Japan to prevent intervention by
the United States.
Huerta does not intend to declare
war on the United States, neither does
he believe the United States will de-
clare wal on Mexico.
Huerta will be as glad as Carranza
over the lifting OF the embargo on
arms. If he can get arms from the
United States he believes he can get
money from American and European
bankers.
British, German and Japanese cap
italists will get the choice Of the flu
ture valuable Mexican concessions
once given to Americans.
Secretary Bryan told Senior Algara,
charge d'affaires of the Mexican en-
bassy, that the United States consid-
cred the election of Mexican con-
gressmen equally as invalid as the vot-
ing for President and Vice-President.
The ministers from five Central Amer.
lean countries were summoned and
given a general outline OF what the
United States had done in its diplo-
matte parleys with Huerta.
William Bayard Hale, or previous
occasions personal representative of
President Wilson, has made a trip
through the northern part of Mexico to
the American border, through the Con
stitutionalist country, for the report
ed purpose of observing the strength
and purposes of the Constituencies
and to learn of the efficacy Of raising
the embargo on arms.
A resolution of Congress on March
IA, 1912, prohibited the expectation OF
arms and munitions of war to Central
and South American countries where
domestic violence existed, with such
exceptions as the President deems ex-
pedient. Congress having placed the
embargo, Congress may have to take
it off. The President may not have
the constitutional power to void what
Congress validated. President Taft
allowed the Madero administration to
import arms at the time Of the Orozco
rebellion.
