If the action of the President meets with

removal of the cloud from the title to

LONDON PRESS TAKES

Consistency.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Times, in an
editorial this morning, finds Washington 8
treatment of Huerta in curious contrast
to the unprotesting mildness with which
the United States has suffered insults and
rebuffs and downright defiance at the
hands of Villa and Carranza. The Times
thinks that considering the extremely en-
barrassinS and anomalous position in
which he has been placed by American
diplomacy and the unique demands made
upon him, Huerta, during the past thir-
teen months, has displayed remarkable
courtesy and self-control iii his dealings
with the United States.
None the less says the Times. his
elimination remains a fixed point of
American policy. and the dispatch of
the Atlantic fleet signifies rather a
change of method than of aim. Unhap-
PLY there is little discernibe pros
pect that the present proceedings will
bring a lasting solution of the Mexican
problem any nearer

Inquiries for Transports.

AS proof of the thoroughness of the
American preparations in the event of
Mexican resistance. inquiries were made,
according to the Daily Mail, by Ameri-
can representatives among the British
ship owners of London regarding the
chartering of liners as transports.
The Daily Telegraph says: 1T seems
plain that Huertas face is thoroughly
well saved, and a very considerable
strengthening is given to his position in
the eyes of his countrymen. He will call
the acknowledgment of his salute a
measure of recognition. and If the Mexi-

House Is Not a Unit.

The House is not a unit regarding the

''Haggling" Over Salute
Will Lead to an Increased
U. S. Vigilance Over Mexico

That the "haggling'' of the Huerta gov
ernment in Mexico over reparation for
the Tampico incident would actuate the
United States tc increase its vigilance
over the Mexican republic, is assured, ac-
cording TO administration leaders in Con-
gress who are in close touch with actual
developments.
It was stated today that an augmented
feet would be left in Mexican waters
following the salute which Huerta has
agreed to give to the flag and which this
government will return. Reasons for in
creasing the naval force on both coasts
are several. 1t generally is conceded
that fighting within Mexican borders is
to be more furious: that conditions are
20 become more perilous to Americans
and other foreigners in the country, and
that protection to these must be afforded
Furthermore. the provisional govern
ment in Mexico is believed to be in more
periious position than ever since the ac-
Cessiou of Huerta, and end of Huerta
might demand the Immediate landing of
armed forces of this government in Mex
60 to aid in restoration of constitutional
government.
No Time Fixed for Salute.
Senator Shively, acting chairman of
the foreign relations committee. after
comforting at the White House today,
said that no definite time had been fixed
when Huerta should salute the American
eolors but that ne would do SO was GER
tain unless he should reverse his de-
termination to yield TO the American ultl-
rnatum-
1t would not be necessary for Huerta-
Senator Shively said to await the ar
rival in Mexican waters OF the naval
reinforcements now en- route there, out
that the salutary exchange might be de-
layed until then was admitted as a pos
sibility.
'One thing is absolutely certain. said
Senator Shively. and it is that the
United States irrevocably demands
salute to the colors. and the country
should understand that such a salute
demands an acknowledgment from
American guns.
Some members of Congress yesterday
seemed to think that such an achnowl-
edgement would involve recognition of
the Huerta regime as the de jure gov
ernrnent. That Is not the case The
matter of recognition primarily is a mat
ter Of intent, and there could be no more
intent to recognize the de facto Huerta
government in returning a salute for an
afront than was included in the ulti-
matum TO the de facto. In the ultimatum
the United States did not recognize the
Huerta government. and it does not

Means More Vigorous Policy.

1t was pointed out that the adoption of
forceful measures to compel a salute
could not but influence the Huerta gov
ernment in dealing with other demands
made by the United States in the future.
The decision of the President to deal
more vigorously with the Mexican sit
uation was taken by many observers to
mean that any offenses to foreigners in
Mexico would be met by prompt and
forceful demands for reparation.
The belief still is held by President
Wilson and his advisers that the Huerta
government cannot last much longer. and
that with constitutionalists daily adding
more territory by conquest the financial
situation of the Mexican dictator is
desperate.
On the other hand. the President and
Secretary Bryan are satisfied with the
attitude of Gen. Carranza and Gen
Villa toward foreigners. though they still
are using their good officers for the eXil-
ed SpaniardS. The President has spoken
informally in praise of Gen. Villas
treatment of foreigners in the recent
battle at Torreon. and relations with the
constitutionalists are described at the
State Department as amicable and salts
factory.

administration officials lie is giving Of
