WASHINGTON July 16-President Will
son yielded to-day to the pressure for
declaration OF policy in regard to Mex
leo 10 the extent Of directing Secretary
BRYAN t. summon Henry Lane Wilson.
the American Ambassador at Mexico
city. to Washington at once for con-
ference on the situation.
This action was announced after an
.mpromptu conference between the
.rcsidcu, and Mr.. Bryan early to-day.
Ambassador Wilson cannot reach
Washington for at least a week. 1t Is
expected that further Developments
IN the International situation as far as
Washington is concerned Will cease
un,ll his arrival.
Il is established beyond question
that the Presidents action was due to
tne united action of the Diplomatic
Corps IN Mexico city in declaring that
the United States attitude toward Mex
Eco was contributory cause Of the In
creasing disorders there and the re-
quest from European Government
Ihat the Washington Government In
dca;a what IL intends to do about the
situation
Heretofore il has been the endeavor
y: the President and his Secretary OF
State to relieve themselves of the Mex
can problem by ignoring 1t in order
that the Administration might devote
itself 20 internal matters. principally
The tariff and currency legislation.
Recognition or Intervention.
In many quarters it Is declared en-
phaticaly that the Wilson Administra- =
'.on "a confronted with the alternative
" "rccosnition or Intervention" In
Vow of the stubhorness with which the
Wilson Administration has adhered to
Us non-recognitiop policy, however.
there Is good reason to believe the pres
en' course will be continued for some
time.
Even the most conservative COM
nents on the admittedly grave situation
confronting the President were to the
effect that the present course Is Inv
fvltably leading to the necessity OF
choosing between intervention and rec
ignition.
Ambassador Wilson has been sent for
m the ground that he IL supposed to
b" best Informed as to the situation In
N" southern republic. He will be asked
10 present his views in detail on Mexico.
There is no doubt that the Ambas-
sador will speak frankly whatever IL
In his mind when ne gets to Washing
ton.
j. Is no secret that II the President
,H,t h4 notd
should be pursued toward Mexico Am
hasador Wilson will express Views
most antipodal to those held by the
PRESENT Administration. The Ambas-
tador Is personally In favor of the rec.
ignition ~ the present Government In
Mexico. and thus Is at variance with
N" very fundamentals of the Admin
A'ratlon policy.
The AmbRssa doris Position.
The Ambassador has 40 little reason
, :" be grateful to the present Admins
"a'ipn that it IL extremely unlikely
mat hc will make any endeavor to
meet the Presidents views.
In" Ambassador knows that he has
continued at his post only because the
resident realized that to relieve him
h' another appointec would involve the
necessity OF recognizing the Huerta
Government.
Furthermore the Ambassador, accord
nv 70 his friends, has not forgotten
NAY Tor more than two months after
f'esident Wilson was inaugurated the
present Administration stood by IN COM
p''o silence when campaign OF abuse
touching both his personal and official
