HUERTA EXPECTED

ing been tremendously enlightening
TO the government of President
Huerta- indicating the fallacy of its
view that public opinion in the
United States did not support him.
that his policy was not "A national
policy. but that Of political party;
and that a change Of administration
in the United States would bring
about different treatment OF the Mexi-
can question.
Then II Is understood that efforts
OF the Mexican government TO effect
loan in Paris have met with distinct
and positive setback. due 10 the at
ttude Of President Huerta's govern
ment toward the proposals OF the
United States. II is known that the
Mexican excheduer Is in depleted
state. Supporters Of the goyernme emit.
reputed to be men OF means, II is
rurnored. have found 1t necessary to
borrow money for their private ac-
counts, indicating that they are in no
tuation TO aid the government with
funds
While this government has not In
vited the support of foreign govern
ments in It's Mexican program, The
nations have been thoroughly ad-
vised by the state department Of ex~
actly what has been going on. The
ing large investments in Mexico
would naturally compel them To sup
port the United States in it's policy
as offering the only prospect for the
security Of it's interests 1t Is be-
lieved that such nations have, through
their legations IN Mexico. brought
every possible manner Of insistence To
bear on President Huerta and his
eounselors TO persuade him 70 give

Huerta Would Delay Issue.
Suggestions have been made TO the
change If notes which indicate
tendency on the part Of the Huerta
officials To delay the issue. The pub
lished report IN Mexico City that
Emilio Rabasa would be sent to
Washington by Huerta on confiden-
tial mission is credited here TO the
extent that II is known that Huerta
has under consideration plan TO
send an envoy to the United States
TO talk un0fficially with President
Wilson. Just SIS Mr. Lind did with
Huerta IT Is believed. however that
Frederaco Gamboa minister Of foreign
relations, would be the man chosen
by Huerta for the mission If such is
intended.
Whether such suggestion would
meet the approval Of the United States
Is not known AS yet, but as evil
dencins desire 10 reconsider the
first rejection Of the American pro.
Posals fhe news - regarded as Of
much significance
That the American government
however, will not yield from its posi-
ton that Huerta must he eliminated

So that his mission would constitute
a supplementary procedure TO bring
about such an understanding
Message Expected Tuesday.
In many quarters, however, the
sending of an envoy to talk with
President Wilson is regarded as an
effort to delay the plans Of the Ameri-
can government. Something definite,
however. is being awaited by the
United States and IL is unlikely that
this government will walt beyond
