The Washington End

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-SecretaIy
 Pryan announced that statement
 would be issued in a few days setting
 forth the policy of the United States
 toward Mexico. Whether the state
 nnent will be in the form of a com
 nunication to congress by President
 Wilson is not determined. The pro
 nCuncement it is thought will not
 Cnly reiterate the views that the
 United States can never recognize u
 government established by arbitrary
 force, but will give reasons for re-
 fusing to recognize any acts of the
 new congress either as to the validity
 Cf loans or concessions, and will point
 out the steps necessary for a solution
 or the problem.
 Apparent developments in various foI eign capitals brought encourage
 ment today to the administration of ficials. There is a feeling among them that the desire of the United States to prevent interference by the
 powers was virtually accomplished by
 Premier Asquith's speech explaining
 that Great Britain wished to dc
 nothing unfriendIy to the United
 States. semi official assertions from Berlin that no financial assistance will be given Huerta by Germany a definite understanding with France that nothing will be done by France to embarrass the processes which the United States has selected to solve the Mexican problem, and assurances from the Japanese ambassador that the sending of the @rmOred cruiser ! IzumO to Mexican waters was for nr political purpose, but merely to cXg 1 tend protection to Japanese subjects if necessary-all tended to strength
 on the belief here that the Washing ton government has finally secured | the moral support 0! other world powers in it's efforts to unravel the
 Mexican struggle It is also felt that from no part of Europe will Huerta receive financial assistance
 The Europeans fear that the over throw of Huerta might produce a state of anarchy in Mexico City un- less a strong substitute is provided immediately. agrees with the point 1 of view of many senators who have | been discussing the situation with
 President Wilson. The administra- tion will take cOgnizance of this ] eventually. and if Huerta retires in
 accord with the desired program. it l is said there need be little fear of a | physical disturbance in Mexico City. In the plan of the United States | to afford Huerta every opportunity to retire peaceably. there is also a de- | sire for a definite understanding of
 who the succeeding provisional presi- | dent would be. The United States l recognizes the provisional successor must be acceptable to the cOnstitu- | tionalists, if the latter are to stop | fighting. Close observers point out 1 the United States is in a better posi- 1 tion to bring about an understanding l between the cOnstitutionalists and the | authorities in Mexico City than at | any time since the United States i'm
 terposed it's good offices. The No 1 gales conference between Hale and 1 Carranza and his cabinet opens the way for a direct line of communica- l tion between the constituencies l and the Mexico City authorities. The 1 peace commission labored Vainly to 1 establish a line of diplomatic barley
 between the two sides.
 Word reached Washington today
 that officials close to Huerta are urg- ing him to retire Talk of lifting the embargo on arms was again heard i in official circles. Representative ! Mann. the republican leader, said
 that there is no sentiment among the
 republicans in favor of letting down | the bars.
