FIRST CONCERN WILL BE TO ESTABLISH
 INTERNAL PEACE
No Confiscation of Property To Be Allowed in Settle ment of Agrarian Cues ti0n Before People

Washington, October 10.-Official advices have been received here that Argentina, Brazil and Chile are in accord with the decision of the United States to grant recognition to the party led by General Carranza as the de factor government in Mexico.
 It became known today that some of the South American governments long before yesterdays conference at which 1t was decided to recognize the Carranza government had authorized their diplo- matic representatives to favor the recog- milton of General Carranza in the Pan American deliberations.
 President Wilson has not received from Secretary Lansing report of the pro- ceedings of the final conference. but sev- eral days ago he indicated to the secro- tary his acquiescence in the plan pro posed.
 The form in which recognition is to be accorded has not been decided, but it may be done by formal notification to E'dzio Arredondo. authorized representa- tive here of the Carranza government. Extension of recognition is expected within week. This will result in the immediate order of an embargo on arms and ammunition against factions opposed to the Carranza government, a step which will weaken materially the resources ,f the Villa element Miguel Diaa Lombardo gave out statement tonight in behalf of the Villa faction declaring that while it was source of satisfaction that the United States had shown it's sympathy with the Mexican constitutionalist revolu- tion against Huerta by recognizing a rev. olutionary faction, nevertheless. it was in- tende to demonstrate by further military operations that the Carrallxa partys sii- premacy was temporary.
 Rebel Leaders Responsible
 The Washington government during the Taft administration took the position that when a recognized government existed in Mexico City the leaders of rebellious fac tions were personally responsible for the acts of their followers and gave warning to that effect. This precedent probably will be followed in the event of difficult ties now in northern Mexico.
 Although the documents presented tc Secretary Lansing and the Pan-American conferees by Elizio Arrendondo on behalf of General Carranza, on which the de- cision to recognize the Carranza party was based have not been made public, 1t became known that the first chief had given explicit assurances with reference to the protection of foreigners. claims, amnesty for political offenses and the treatment of the clergy. An extract from a memorandum presented to ths Pan-American conferees on behalf of Gen. eral Carranza contains the following ar- ticles outlining the programme of his government:
 '1. The constitutionalist government shall afford to foreigners residing in Mexico all the guarantees to which the. are entitled according to our laws. and shall amply protect their lives. their free dom and the enjoyment of their rights of property, allowing them indemnities for the damages which the revolution may have caused to them. insofar as such in- demnitfes may be just and which are to be determined by procedure to be es- tablished later. The government also shall assume the responsibility of legiti- mate nancial obligations.
 To Re- Establish Peace
 "2. The first concern of the consti- tutionalist government shall be to re- establish peace within the province of law and order. to the end that all the inhabitants of Mexico. both native and AoEciSA, SudAl equdIy ouJOy the Den- efits of true justice and be interested in cooperating to the support of the government emanating from the revo- lution. The commission of crimes of the common order shall be punished In due time an amnesty shall be en- acted in keeping with the necessities of the country and the situation, which In no way shall exempt those under 1t of the civil responsibilities they may have incurred.
 "3. The constitutional laws of Mex ico known under the name of laws of reform. which establish the separ- ation of the church and the state and which guarantee the individual right of worship in accordance with his own conscience and without offending pub lie order. shall be strictly observed; therefore. no one shall suffer in his life, freedom and property because of his religious beliefs Temples shall continue to be the property of the na- tion according to laws In force and the constitutiona1ist government shall again cede for the purpose of worship those which may be necessary
