Mr.. Wilson selisves Dietator's Regime

held.

Indications are that the America
policy toward Mexico. which It Is
hoped the nations OF the world geBer
ally will follow. still Is hands of.
The general Interpretation Of the
situation is that The United States, by
giving foreign powers detailed infor-
nation OF its own determination to re.
iuse TO recognize the acts OF the new
Mexican congress. has indicated a de-
sire that the powers generally refrain
from financial dealings with the Huer.
ia government.
Sc far as can be learned, there has
been no specific request for support
by the powers. but there has been a
plain intimation that the Washington
government believes the collapse Of
the Huerta regime inevitable. if for
eign aid be withheld.
With the intention 10 regard as IT,
legal any loans or connections the new
congress may undertake, there has
baan distinct intimatiOn that a policy

ton. Without financial aid and With !
the machinery Of government pro-
nounced illegal. officials expect 70 see
a state of afairs that may force Presi- |
dent Huerta TO eliminate himself and /
show the way TO a solution of the prob /
lem from the American viewpoint.
The cabinet met again with all the
members present except Secretary
Wilson. The Mexican topic was fore
most The raising of the embargo on
arms, which has been urged upon the
president and practically all the secre-
iaries. was discussed at length.
Already the financial starvation"

d to the Huerta admin stration. ,
The attitude of the other great pow /
rs has not been disclosed. but It is I
aid that the inquiries Of the United
tates have resulted In bringing from
ireat Britain a denial Of the report Q
hat Huerta has succeeded in obtain 0
lg from british capitalists enough b
honey to run the Mexican government a
u a month.
Within the last few days President 0
lilson has been inclining toward lift a
.g the embargo. and the gossip Is that
ryan is seeking 20 show that this o.
ethod Of disciplning Huerta, which el
Is been described In some quarters b
barbarous can he avoided BY the
'gative course Of preventing him b.
ON obtaining any money abroad.
Thus apparently the question Of lit b,
g the embargo on arms and ammuni.
IN for the rebels will be held IN abev. 10
ce and will not be decided aflrma.
'ely unless the financial Starvation"
an fails. Then the embargo may be l
ted and if in turn 1t fails in the de- w
ed result or If serious complications
se armed Intervention will be the
Xt and final step. 90
President Wilson will not amandon br
htary preparations, and will be pre- m,
red for Intervention at any time.
'ugh he hopes and believes that ex. n,
me policy can be avoided. I'm,
Between now and Nov. 20. the day an,
