No move is expected, however, I'M

Just what the Washington govern

the trend Of events, they say, is I'M
mjstakably toward conducting nego-
tiations in some form or another with
the Constitutionalists, or rebels
The policy of the United States
has been to make complete record of
having attempted to handle the prob

present parleys have been carried on
with the Huerta authorities, who
have rejected the good offices Of the
United States.
