united action Of the United States and
its Pan-American allies in behalf of
some other faction. the aid Of the New
York financial interests will be needed
to rehabilitate Mexico. ii is declared.
Mexicos treasury is depleted. its in
dstries are wrecked, its crops are
ruined. and its people have been re-
duced to the depth of starvation. Next
to the cessation OF the almost contin-
uous revolution since the overthrow of
Diaz. the greatest need of the c9un-l
try Is financial assistance until its in
dustries can be restored and new crops
planted.

making demands for gold Mexico car
about its financial rehabilitation. and
the American financiers are expected
to play almost as important a part al

storing no rmal conditions in Mexico.
The financial phase Of the situation
will be placed before the Pan-American
conferees by Secretary Lansing when
they resum their sessions in New York
this week.
