WASHINGTON, July 49, president
Wilson'S Mexican policy will not be
made public just at present. He has
decided on the attitude to be assum-
ed but because reports reaching him
Of we'll organized effort of leading
Mexicans personally to reconcile the
Huerta and Carranza elements official
announcement of the scope OF the
plan was withheld today. These re,
ports indicate the following situation:
The economic pressure in Mexico
is SO terrific that President Wilson
believes 1t will OF itself force settle
ment Of warfare. Industries are at
standstill Exchange is at prohibl-
tion rates. Merchants generally are
bankrupt. The great French flnani
ciers, who are the dominant factors
In the Mexican financial world are
demanding reforms and they can
themselves force Huerta to make
such concessions that all organized
revolutionary movements will fall OF
their own weight
Huerta can bring order out Of chaos
almost Immediately by resigning his
present post and seeing that one OF
Mexico's big men, any one OF proven
ability be named as his successor
Permanent peace In Mexico is the

MS chief Heutenants: Leading Mext.
cans and the agents OF European Hn.

ing to persuade Huerta to withdraw.

something. The hint has come from
the administration that If they per

Ambassador Wilson has been re
quested to hold himself at the dispos

and committees on foreign affairs His
status is not settled. 1t is generally
believed that his resignation will b,
accepted In the near future Bu
there is nothing official on this.
The president and Secretary Bryan
refuse to discuss the ambassador
status, But because Of the free man
