UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION
Don't Take seriously Hucrta's state
mcut That He Would Not stand
for Interference.

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 While
official information from Mexico city
was meagre, the Washington govern
meut tonight maintained its conf
dence that Provisional President
Hucrta soon would be eliminated from
the situation.
The steady pressure through diplo-
matte channels, the financial block
ade and the practical certainty that
the embargo on arms Will be lifted un-
less Huerta Yields, are expected to
force retirement Of the provisional
president. How soon this will occur
no official would predict.
Neither at the White House nor at
the state department was there any
disposition to regard seriously the
statement issued from the national
palace at Mexico City declaring that
IN view Of Nenustiano Carranza' ;
population of any form of mediation
bN, or alliance with the United states,
Provisional President Iluerta can do
no less than join him in his expression
Of patriotic sentiment and maintain
unaltered his .dlgnified attitude to-
ward Washington. -
While on the surface this statement
gave the impression that the United
states had met with a rebuff in the
diplomatic camps Of both Mexican
factions conversant with the situation
construed merely II as an attempt to
meet temporarily the arguments Of eX-
pediency being urged upon Huerta
by close friends.
The declaration, first from Car
rama that he would not accept medi-
alton by the United States and re
iterated by Iuerta, caused no con
ccrn here, for the Washington gov
ernment maintains it never has Of
fared to mediate. Carran2a's utter
ance while not misunderstood by the
washington government, for, mas
much as he had appealed to the United
states to lift the embargo on arms
and n special envoy had gone to his
HEADQUARTERS to discuss the situation
the necessity Of showing his followers
that he does not intend to surrender
the sovereignty of his country by
negotiation with any foreign gov
ernment, was taken into full consider
alton here.
The American government likewise
realizes that CarranZa will not enter
into any compromise or negotiations
with Hucrta or any of the group sur
rounding him. For this reason chiefly
has President Wilson insisted through
out on the elimination Of the Huerta
coterie as a necessary first step to
peace. although he always Eas CON
tended, too. that the MeXicans must,
of course. actually compose the stu
alton themselves.
Huorta's expression on the heels OF
Carranzas utterance was regarded by
high officials here, in fact, as an ef-
fort to show no less patriotism than
the constitutonalist chief at this
time.
The Washington government does
not constIue its activities in the stu
alton as included in the terms Inter
ference" or "mediation." The Wash
ington viewpoint is that the United
States has the right to say exactly
on what conditions it will recognize
any government. 1t has sought to
emphasize through it's representatives.
that under no conditions would HUI
erta or any one of the group sur
rounding him be recognized and has
announced also that it will not recog
nize the legality of any acts of the
Mexican congress, which was sched-
uled TO convene today.
BY making its position similarly
clear to other foreign governments,
the United States has secured the ac-
quiescnce in its views Of every great
power without exception.
News OF the activities of the Huerta
congress were awaited with interest
