PLAN SOLUTION
MEXICAN PROBLEM
AMBASSADOR PLEADS FOR HU-
ERTA-PRESIDENT HAS DIF-
FERENT VIEW.


Henry Lane Wilson, summoned from
the City of Mexico to inform the
Washington administration of condi
talked for an hour with President Will
son and Secretary Bryan today, sub
mitting chiefly recommendation
,ence to stabilize the Huerta regime.
No policy was eyolved-at leas:
none was announCed-but it became
known that he presidents ideas and
those of Ambassador Wilson's as to
ically different that administration Of
ficials interpreted the days Develop
meat as forecasting the acceptance of
Ambassador Wilson's resignation.
President Wilson and the ambassa-
dor regard the future of the Mexican
situation, it was learned, from oppo
site viewpoints.
The president is concerned over
the morality of any policy adopted jy
the United States and It's effect on
other Latin American countries, and
is disinclined to strengthen gov
ernment that came into power
through the questionable events incl
deat to Madoro's assassination.
Views of Ambassador
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hard, is disposed to look at the sit
uatiCn not from past events, but with
the practical idea of the future. lie
believes it is the business of govern
ments to look to the future, and his
suggestions have been in the direc-
tion of extending recognition to the
Huerta government, if it did certain
things to conserve American inter
ests.
The inadvisabilty, from a diplo-
matte standpoint, Of maintaining il.
the City of Mexico a representative
who would not be sympathetic with
the purpose Of the Wilson administra-
tion in Washington is said to have
practically convinced the president
that the embassy in the City of Mex
leo had better be conducted for the
present by Nelson O'Shaugnessy, its
first secretary, reputed here as eff
cient and experienced. The appoint
ment of new ambassador would be
contingent upon the establishment Of
a satisfactory government at the City
of Mexico Meanwhile the president
advised Ambassador Wilson to take a
rest for a few days, as he has been
laboring under nervous strain.
The Latest Plan.
While the chief officers of the
American government were debating
the facts of the situation today, it
became known that a movement was
on foot which might eventually spare
them the necessity of oMering medi
alton or any other kind of interfer
ence in Mexican affairs, upon which
the national pride of Mexico is SEN
sitive.
The plan contemplates a repetition
OF the process by which Daz abdi-
Gated in favor of a provisional pres
ident acceptable to both factions in
the revolt against him. Prominent
Mexicans of influence are interested
in the idea and have informed Sec
retary Bryan that if the American |
government would refrain from any |
policy of mediation, at least for the |
present, they felt confident of bring
ing about an understanding between |
the warning forces looking toward a |
peaceful solution of political difficult |
ties.
President Huerta, it is suggested in |
The peace plan, might be persuaded !
by mis- friends that with the desper
ate financial condition of Mexico, his
resignation would be an act of pa
triotlsm and self-denial. He would
be asked to name a minister of for
eign relations, a post now vacant,
so that through the constitutional
process of succession, the minister
would succeed him as provisional
president.
That Gov. Carranza has informally
been sounded on the proposition be-
came known today as we'll as the
fact that certain men already have
been mentioned for the provisional
presidency who would be acceptable
not only to the Huerta administra-
t;on hut IN tbe constitutionalists as
