UNITED STATES
WILL ANNOUNCE
ITS POLICY SOON
Assurance Received From
Other Countries That They
Will Take No Part in Settling
the Difficulties.

WSHINGTON, Nov Is. - Secy.
Bryan announced Wednesday that
statement would be issued within
few days setting forth the policy of
the United States toward Mexico.
Whether or not the statement will
be in the form Of a communication 10
congress by Pres. Wilson has not been
disclosed. but some of the diplomats
here believe 1t will be. The statement
has been under consideration for sew
eral days and in Secy. Bryan's confer
ences with members Of the diplomatic
corps he has made ii plain that the
forthcoming prOnOuncement would
define clearly the attitude of the
United States.
Such a statement, it is thought, not
only would reiterate the views that
the United States can never recognize
a government established by arbitrary
force. but will give its reasons for re-
fusing TO recognize any acts of the
new congress either as TO the validity
of loans or concessions and point out
the step necessary TO a solution of the
problem.

purpose but to merely extend protec-
