President Wilson of Opinion That Great Moral Question
 is Involved in Mexican Situation
NOT IMPRESSED BY AMBASSADORS STATEMENT
Democratic Senators Supporting the Presidents VewsSen- ator Bacon Declares that Recognition Would Place Premium Revolution in Administration Still Hopeful That Huerta May Retire from Presidency

had Mexico in mind. The impression he desired to spread was that while seeking nothing itself the American government had no sympathy with the volatile processes by which govern ments were overturned in Latin America.
 Latin-American diplomats here are looking forward with eager interest to President Wilson's pronouncement of policy as a further expression of his attitude toward Central and South American nations.
 Belief That Huerta May Retire
 Just when the president will make known his views is not certain and it will depend somewhat upon the possi- ble adjustment of the dispute by the factions themselves in Mexico. The president thinks the prospect of peace is growing stronger, and regards the problem as by no means unsoivable. He conceiveS that the MeXicans may be able shortly to bring about peace. With the Amrican government absO lut1y opposed to the Huerta regime, administration officials here believe that the friends of President Huerta will prevail upon him to>retire in favor of provisional president acceptable to all fact~lns, who would conduct gen. era1 erection Some prominent Mex jeans whose names are not being men LIOnS0 pQDllCIy at In1S tune, anyone or whom would meet the approval of the constitudonalists for provisional pres ident are personal friends of President Huerta- which fact has lent encour- agement here to the idea that peace plan is not impossible
 Will Await Developments.
 Meanwhile, it is more likly that the policy of President Wilson will be to await developments in the southern re- public and refrain from offering med1- at1on or other conciHatory suggestions until Mexicans themselves have ex- hauSted every resource to bring about peace It is not likely that President Wilson will receive any envUys from either side in the Mexican dispute
 The report that Francisco De La BaEra- former provisional president and member of Huerta's cabinet for many months, was coming to the United States and might seek an audi ence with President Wilson brought forth the information from the White House that it would depend entirely on the character of DIf. De La Barra's whether he would be received. It was intimated that if Mir. De La Barra came mereTy to pay his respects as a former ambassador the United States or as president of Mexico he would be accorded all courtesies. but that in the capacity of partisan in the present trouble, it was not likely that he would be welcomed

Washington, July 31-President Will son made it clear today to those who discussed the Mexican situation with him that he had not been satisfied in the least by the arguments of Am bassador Henry Lane Wilson in favor of recognition of the Huerta govern ment in Mexico He let it be known that his analysis of conditions from official and unofficial reports and his Judgment of what should be done had not been altered by the ambassadors $ statements
 The president is formulating pol icy which he told his callers today in wolves nothing that Is not entirely friendly to Mexico He has not yet announced what his programme will be but he is en1p1atically and una1ter ably opposed to the recognition under set up by the provisional president Huerta through the events in which Pr sident Madero and Vice President ST Arez met tragic deaths
 Strong Opposition to Recognition.
 It developed today that the demo crats in the sena te were concUrtng in this view and further discussion of Amba dor Wilson's statement before the senate foreign relations committee brought out a general sentiment of opposition to the suggestion of recog- hilton for the HueFta government
 Senator Bacon. chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations is of the pronounced opinion that to recognize the Huerta government would be put ting premium on revolution in Mex ico. He believes, moreover. that it would be an incentive to every reVolu tionary leader to aSsassinate the head of the nation with full expectation that his act would receive the approval and official recognition of other nations. Senator Bacon also is of the opinion that the recognition of Huerta far from bringing about peace would be the strongest encoTag cement to ambitious chiefs
 Crest Moral Question Involved
 Senator Bacon reflects the views of President Wilson. who has had from the beginning the pronounced opinion that great moral question was in volved, greater than the mere judg- menJ of the acts of a single ruler. In his Latin American statement issued shortly after inauguration, the presi~ dent set forth emphatically the oppo- sition of the United States to those who set up government by arbitrary force and announced that the American gov- ernmeut would prefer in it's associa~ tions those governments which were founded on law and order. While not referring at the time to any particular nation, the president is known to have
