RAISING the efforts TO restore order
in Mexico, and ii was reported today
that if there Is not change In meth
DDS soon, the president may be forced
to make a public statement. saying
so, and placing the responsibility.
The recurrence of the suggestion
by certain senators and representa-
tives that the embargo on arms be re-
moved an lthe rival factions fur
nished all of the appliances neces.
sary TO engage in wa of supremacy
and extemination, is complicating mat
ters. 1t is known that certain of the
revolutionary leaders who leaned to-
ward mediation have now changed
their minds. The reason is the belief
that they may be permitted to secure
arms and ammunition, which are bad
ly needed. With them in their posses
sion, and with the unlimited funds
available from the sources this side
of the border which have been financ.
ing the revolution. these leaders be
lyieve they could unhorse Huerta and
seize the reins of government And
because OF this belief, which is d.
rectly encouraged by the lingo utter
ances OF several senator's and repre-
sentatives here, these leaders are
row said TO be opposed to accepting
mediation.
Realizing this, the president has
made 1t very plain 10 the representa-
tives OF the administration at the cap
ftol that there must be no further
agitation. CSenator Bacon, as chair
man of the senate committee on for
eign relations, and Chairman Flood
OF the corresponding house commit
tee, have been told that they will be
expected to control their committees
Senator Kern, as majority leader In
the uper house, has agreed that there
will be no place given to war talk
