BACKING HUERTA DOWN

| ara Falls are once more revolving
about the attitude of the supreme
chief Of the interesting Constitution
allsts. When Gen. Carranza gets to
Sat!llo. or wherever else he is going
and II he there is pleased to declare
his disposition toward those who are
seeking to establish permanent peace
In Mexico, the mediation conference
viii know whether or not II has vast
ed three weeks in discussing a prob.
lem which must be settled in the end
Just as II might have been settled in
the beginning, by the United States
accepting one OF two alternatives
either the recognition OF one of the
factions contending for the govern
meDt Of Mexico, fading IL for what IL
may turn out to be. or else Selling
upon the situation for itself and set.
ting up the kind Of government in
Mexico II desires to establish and is
able, with the material at hand to
construct However. the case may be
twisted or turned aud whatever eff
forts may be made outside parties
TO adjust the situation. there are only
three interests in the whole affair,
the Huerta party the Constitutional.
lists and the United States, and the
way CT enc of these must prevail
against the way of both the others.
Composition OF the differences among
them Is an impossibility. II is Just as
II has been from the first, and though
the affair has apparently passed
through many phases, its essentials
have not changed and they will not
change. II Mr.. Wilson would have
the kind OF government In Mexico he
has pictured several times as being
the only kind he will accept, he will
have t. put all the forces of the
United States to establish 1t, and set
a task for the next generation to ac-
complish If the Mexicans arc to be
required to settle their own affairs,
and We are to be satisfied with the
Kind of government they may choose,
open recognition Of one or the other
factions at war there must be made,
and, when the one we have chosen IA
overturned as In time Is bound to
happen--we should recognize it's sue
cessor in fact. AT the present time

faction Six months ago
We might have accepted the Huerta
The effort to bring the
two together upon an agreement of
the program OF the United States is a
pleasant dream, but we can't sleep
forever and II Is very nearly time to
awake as the Washington govern
ment itself seems to feel.
We have all but taken sides with
Carranza, and there is no reason why
we should not go the rest of the way
and be done with Il. If Carranza is
either wise or generous he will so
shape his course as to permit our ar.
ranGement with his party to come out
81 the Niagara Fails conference. but
if~-as Is quite possible, for he is a
stiffhecked person, full Of personal
vain.glCry--he may require that we
conclude with him more directly, On
the other hand. Mr.. Wilson who is
no spmeless individual himself--may
be SO set upon the ideal government
he has in mind for Mexico. that no
measure of concession by Carranxa
will avoid the undertaking of a pro.
gram in Mexico that will insure the
employment OF military enterprises.
The point of the matter is that two
OF the three parties to the Mexican
affair must give way completely to
the third. II is game of freeze
out.
huerta is practically out His back
down from the blockade of Tampico
he proclaimed Is convincing evi.
dence of ha, IL he intended to
stand anywhere for last stroke.
that was the place for him. He had
a great, deal on his side there ana
the fact that he did not choose 70
insist on the issue he had raised
shows that he has given up the game.
Perhaps he has de.ermlned to enter
as candidate for the Nobel peace
prize against Mir. Bryan,
