Washington government is strongly
inclined to allow Mexican rebels to
purchase arms in the United States on
an even footing with the HUerta gov
eminent although president Wilson
and secretary of state Bryan have
reached no definite conclusion.
Informal inquiry has disclosed the
fact that practically the entire cabi-
net, many members of the senate for
elgn relations committee, and many
congressional leaders, are ready to
support the president should he de-
eide to raise the embargo.
The chief argument being placed be-
fore president Wilson is that the
Huerta government is experiencing
little difficulty in buying munitions
