President Wilson and Secretary Bry-

ommendation that the United States
use its influence to establish the
Huerta regime.
No policy was evolved, at least none
was announced, but it became known
that the Presidents ideas and those
of Ambassador Wilson as to the
course to be pursued are so radically

The appointment of a new ambas-

establishment of satisfactory gov

the President advised Ambassador
Wilson to take rest for few days.
While the chief officers of the
