quire Intervention ultimately has been
considered and the intention to insist
on settlement has not been swayed
by the possible necessity Of such ac-
ton. In high executive quarters, how

will clear up misapprehension as to its
intentions that have existed in Mexi-
CO, and bring about the desired coali-
ton government.
Result Of Conferences
The administrators policy is the
elimination of several weeks Of confer
ences between the President and his
official family. The return Of Du Val
West, who spent three months person.
ally investigating conditions in Mex
leo for the President, was the deciding
factor. He brought back reports show
ing that the food situation was serious;
that the country crops had failed and
industries were exhausted; that the
soil had not been titled for lack Of cat
tie, which had been slaughtered or ex-
ported for revenue, and that a terrible
condition Of affairs for the large masses
of innocent non-combatants was ahead
unless remedial measures were under

Reply Unsatisfactory


The verdict Of a majority of the cab
met was that the German reply to the
American note following the sinking
Of the Lusitania was unresponsive and
unsatisfactory, disregarded the good
will Of the United States, doubted its
facts and disclaimed all blame for the
destruction Of the merchantmen with
American lives. The question Of fact
raised by Germany were regarded as
irrelevant at this time. The trend Of
opinion was that the United States
make inquiry and obtain an early Az
swer as to whethsr Germany intends
to recognize the hitherto accepted prin-
ciple that neutrals may travel any
where on the high seas on unarmed
merchant ships, even if carrying con-
traband and that merchantmen which
do not resist capture must be visited
and searched and the passengers and
crew transferred to q place Of safety
before the vessel is destroyed.
