WASHINGTON, July 16.-It is up
to Carranza. He can establish In
Mexico City government that will
have the support Of the entire world,
or partisan government that can
not live long. The Wilson admins
tration is waiting to see what his
choice will be. This was the United
States governments attitude as out
Tined at both the white house and the
state department. From sources close
to the president. it is learned that in
anticipation OF Huerta's flight, he has
been very carefully considering ever
since the mediation conferences adj
Journed, plan of action. In sub
stance 1t is as follows:
No government will be recognized
by the United States in Mexico which
is not representative of all Of the
Mexican people and pledged to re-es-
'tablish constitutional government at
as early date rs possible. The pow
ers have signified their intention to
withhold recognition of Huerta's sue
cessor until after the United States
acts and the United States will i'm
press on Carranza that he must adopt
a conciliatory attitude If he expects
to be aided by this government.
If military dictatorship is estab-
iished along the lines followed out by
Huerta, then the United States will
sit quietly by and await events, re-
fusing Hecognition and making no
effort to influence bankers to loan
funds to the military government. II
Carranza endeavors to take over the
reins OF government OF Mexico on
broad lines. political opponents and
foreigners and this government will
influence bankers here and abroad
to furnish funds and in every way as
sist re-establishing permanent govern.
ment in Mexico.
| It Is expected Carranza will make
good his promises. Information re.
ceived from Consul Silliman says the
provisional chief has made provisions
to protect all elements as soon ~ he
enters the capital.
The federal troops with Huerts
and banquet eliminated, are no long
or force to be reckoned with.
1t is also believed here that Car
rama will be able to control Zapata
and prevent his attacking the capt
tai before the constitutionalist regu
lars reach there.
The next move In the Mexican sit
uation Is distinctly up to Carbajal,
Judge Douglas, Carranza's repre-
sentative here, told Secretary Garri
son today.
He said that If Carbajal shows an
inclination ito hold down the lid" on
| ly temporarily and to make an early
transfer of authority to the constitu.
tionalists, all will be well. On the
other hand douglas told the secre-
ftary II Carbajal decides to stand pat
tand follows Huerta's tactics. Carran'
"a and Villa will wage one more pitch.
ed battle and then march triumphant
~ into the capital. Spanish Ambassa
dor Senior Riano, here, Informally mott
fed the secretary today regarding
tHuerta's resignation and Carbajal's
succession. The secretary admitted
that he had discussed with Riano the
Question Of the necessity and the ad
visa bility OF quick and peaceful
transfer OF authority from Carbajal to
the rebels.
