afternoon that he had been Official
ly advised" that this was the answer
to Americas demand by Charge
o 'Shaughnessy from Mexico City.
The question of whether this will
solve the Mexican crisis was still
rendered acute over the further
problem of whether the United

provisional government. Shively
held that it would not be recogni-
ton, but other authorities on inter-
national law disagree.
The alternative presented by
Huerta still leaves the administra-

Senator Lodge, Republican member
zeaf the foreign relations committee,

Huerta would be a "back-down" on
the part of United States.
