Gsneral Villas personal declaration
,ba; he would continue his warfare was
supplemented to-day b. this statement
from his agency here:
"The decision reached by the Pan
American conferrees means that the
American nations recognize the tri-
rnpb Of the revolution begun and led
~ President Madero and continued by
Carranza and villa. This fact is a
source Of satisfaction 20 all who have
contributed their efforts IN the strug-
gle against 'cientiico' rule.
"0ur opinion is that II IS very doubt
ivl whether the conferrees have acted
wisely in declaring that the Carran-
1is,s faction is the only one with the
essentials Of recognition as the de
fscto government. inasmuch ss that de-
e!sion is based on recent military sue
oesses which cannot be regarded as
conclusive or permanent. The Conven-
tionist faction has yet al its disposal
powerful elements. and has the advan-
,age Of possessing territory within the
boundaries Of which there are no Car
ranza forces
CarranIa Called Failure.
Surely the Couventionist party will
continue the struggle. Sooner or later
Il will demonstrate 20 the world that
The Mexican people wish the establish
ment Of legal government and Will
not tolerate a dictatorship Of indefinite
tenure and inefficient administration
such IS has been shown by Carranza's
allure or unwil.ingness to organize
cabinet and suppress the armed move
ments against his authority"
Ohcial sdvices have been received
here that the governments of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chilli are in accord
with the decision % grant recognition.
i became known to-day that some Of
iae South American governments long
before yesterdays conference had au-
horiled their diplomatic representa-
ives TO favor the recognition Of Cen
tral Carranzs in the Pan-American de-
Aberstions.
Although the documents presented to
Secretary Lansing and the Pan-Amer-
iesn eonferrees by Eliseo Arredondo on
behalf Of General Carranza and on
which the decision 20 recognize the
VsrTanla party was based. have not
been made public, IL became known
