Huerta and the United States.

/. 1t is daily developing that this govern
ment has actually begun to apply pres
sure to secure the elimination of Huerta
and control of the Mexican situation. Spe-
cial Representative Lind at Vera Cruz
admits as much. and dispatches from
Mexico City today give what purports to
be the present state Of mind OF. Huerta
himself, as reflected through friends in
the light of American demands. 1t appears
that the provisional president is deter
mined to reject the suggestions that he re-
tire from office and to summon the con-
gress recently elected" Such a course
will necessarily lead to further action by
this country, which cannot possibly af-
ford TO retreat from its present position
| in view of the virtual guarantees to
Europe that il will endeavor to solve the
Mexican situation.
| The news from France is reassuring.
That government is not disposed to do
anything that will in any way embarrass
the United States, and doubtless the same
attitude will be developed at other CAPT
! tails of Europe. Evidently a friendly un-
iderstanding exists between the United
States and the other powers. with the
gratifying disposition on the part of the
latter to recognize the paramountcy OF
