President Wilson and Secretary

the White House But except for
announcement of Mr. Iind's mission,
no explanation Of the policy to be
pursued by the government Was forth
coming. The statement from Sec
retary Bryan reads:
Bryan's Statement.
"Ex-Governor Lind is sent to Mex

to communicate with the Mexican
authorities as to the restoration OF
peace he will make public his views,
Governor and Mrs Lind departed
for Mexico tonight by rail to proceed

1t became known that further
announcement would be made by
! President Wilson I ma few days, pos
sibly on the arrival Of Mr. Lind In
Mexico City.
1t is said the president is observing
with keen interest the Efforts of lead
ing Mexicans to bring about peace,
and will offer no suggestions until
these apparently prove futile.
Is Empowered To Explain.
That Mr.. Lind will be empowered
to explain TO all inquirers the unal-
terable opposition of the American
government to the recognition Of the
Huerta administration is expected to
be a factor which may assist ten sit
uation. Prominent MeXicans have
taken it upon themselves to try to
persuade Huerta to resign in favor
of a provisional president accept
able to all concerned.
u lintinternal efforts to bring about
peace have failed, the United States
will not offer it's services as medi-
ator. Mr.. Lind undoubtedly will act
in that capacity when the time comes.
Until internal efforts to bring about
Carranza have ben made in press
dispatches rejecting mediation pro-
posals, but administration officials
realize that both sides fear they may
be showing weakness in teh accept
anCe of such a proposal at this time
and are not convinced that friendly
efforts to mediate would prove effec-
tive. officials here hope that the ef-
fort to put an end to bloodshed and
destruction of property would appeal
TO public opinion in MeXoco apd
unite the factions on a peace pro-
gram
ambassadors Plan System.
Little of an affirmative nature came
from President Wilson or Secretary
Bryan during the day to indicate
what the future policy of the Wash
'ngton government would be, though
the acceptance of the resignation of
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson set
led finally that his recommendations
tor recognition Of the Eluerta gov
ernment after a period Of cO-opera-
ion in northern Mexico on the part
1f the United States to restore peace
had been rejected.
The ambassadors views and actiV-
tiles al Mexico City in the closing
DAYS Of the Taft administration were
officially described as AT variance
with those held by President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan and a reitera-
ton came from high officials that the
morality Of the situation would not
permit the recognition of provisional
President Huerta on account OF the
circumstances surrounding the death
Of Madero and Suarez.
sympathy for Movement.
While officials Of the administration
here look with diqfavor upon the pro-
cesses of armed revolution to over
throw constituted government in
Latin America. there is a distinct
feeling of sympathy toward the lib
eral movement I'm Central America,
Of which the Madero administration
was the beginning in Mexico. Argu-
ments. therefore that il was neces-
sarv to have in Mexico the Iron hand
of Diaz." which might have been->ex-
yected in Huerta, failed to make an
impression on government officials
here who believe that the Latin
American governments canotn thrive
on the extreme Ol civil tyranny or
military relationships.
These ideas are likely to be re-
fected in whatever pronouncements
the presiednt may make In the near
future and form teh keystone Of the
administration policy toward the Lat
in-American republic.
Once Republican.
Mr.. Lind, who has been in Wash
ington for the last three adys, has
talked with President Wilson and
SECRETARY Bryan and obtained their
views on the situation. Mr. Lind is
lawyer by profession and was a
member of congress from the fiftieth
to the fiftysecond sessions. being a
colleague of Mr.. Bryan. He was a
republican while in congress. but was
