Nations Pay Outside Debts.
New York.-That the acceptance by
American bankers of the $500, 900 900
Anglo-French five-year per cent loan
was a strictly neutral business trans
action designed to promote the COM
mercial prosperity of the United
States was the position taken by J. P.
Morgan in an address delivered by him
Saturday to bondmen. The bondmen
represented financial houses interest
ed in the sale of the Anglo-French
bonds
Mr.. Morgan said the bonds repre-
sented the only external debts of the
two nations and, being an external
obligation, they were the first charge
on the revenues of the guaranteeing
nations.
"And 1t is absolutely imperative" he
added, "for nation to meet it's exter-
nal obligations il it is to escape the
worst form Of bankruptcy and dis
grace. Nations must care for their
external obligations regardless of what
arrangements they make for their in
ternal debts"
In referring to the convertible fea-
ture of the bonds, Mr.. Morgan called
attention to the five-year period and
said:
within five years, please God, the
war will be over and we'll over, and l
want to say that nobody is going to
extinguish any great nation in this
war"

CARRANzA GETS
RECOGNITION NOW
PAN AMERICAN CONFERENCE,
LED BY SEC. LANSING, MAKES
FINAL DECISION.
GENERAL VILLA IS DEFIANT
Affect Him and His Army-WiII
Continue Fighting carranza-
President Has Hard Job.

Observation-Disclosures of the
party led by General Carranza as the
de facto government in Mexico was
unanimously agreed upon Saturday by
the Pan-American conference as the
step to be recommended to their re-
spective governments.
Secretary Lansing, on behalf of the
United States government, expressed
its intention to recognize General Car
rama, and the ambassadors of Brazil,
Chile and Argentine, and the minis
tiers Of Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate-
mala, transmitted the decision of the
Washington government, as well as
their opinions in agreement with it.
Mr.. Lansing has obtained the approval
of President Wilson to the plan, and
before the conference began all the
other ministers in the Latin-American
corps also had given their adherence
to It,
Will Get U. s. Support.
The action of the conference was
regarded generally as the most i'm
portant diplomatic step in the Mexi-
can situation since the United States
decided to withhold recognition from
the Huerta government, more than two
years ago. 1t means that the Carranza
government will receive the moral
support of the United States, and
that an embargo on shipments of arms
to opposing factions will be laid as
soon as recognition actually is extend
ed, which will probably be within a
fortnight.
Officials believe many elements in
Mexico will align themselves with
Carranza, and that the latter will him
self adopt liberal attitude toward
his opponents, permitting of recon-
Citation of the various branches of the
original constitutionalist party, of
which he was one of the founders.
Secretary Lansing made it clear that
dition recognition upon the giving Of
amnesty or the settlement of other
questions of strictly internal nature,
assurances on these and other sub
jects have been received from Car
ranzo government.
Villa to Continue Fight.
Ell Paso, Texas-"The war is Just
beginning" said General Francisco
Villa, with a broad grin, upon receiv-
ing from his representatives at Wash
ington the news of the recognition of
the Carranza faction as the de facto
government of Mexico.
"Carranza cannot defeat my army"
asserted Villa, "try as he may, and
represent himself and his strength as
he will. The recognition of Carranza
will not affect the constitutionalist
cause"
President Wilson Approves.
Washington. President Wilson
Tuesday gave formal sanction to the
plan of the Pan-American conference
to extend recognition to the Carranza
government in Mexico.
Europe Will Follow Suit.
European governments, it is under
stood, will follow the lead of the United
States and the other American repub-
lies.
