NO INTERVENTION
BY U.S.IN mexico.
FOR THE present
Only Massacre of Americans
Will Change the Wash
ington Policy
ALL ADMIT that TIE
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Extreme
pressure to force American armed IN
tervention in Mexico has been renew
ed on the Wilson administration. The
pressure comes from three sources.
Leading are the European diplomats
in Mexico City who backed General
Huerta and are naturally apprehen-
sive for their safety. Then comes
the financial interests of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany,
whose investments are not returning
anything because of the troubled con-
ditions in the country. The third
class comprises the advocates of
dividing Mexico into two States and
those who resent the abuse that has
been heaped on the priests and nuns
of the Mexican church by both sides
To all who have brought the ques-
tion 10 their attention., President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan have de-
clared that the President was stand
ing firm on his utterances at Indian
apolis, that the United States has no
right to intervene Only one thing
will change this policy and that will
and other foreigners.
There is no attempt made i'm official
quarters TO disguise the almost in
tolerable seriousness Of the Mexican
situation Obregon's incendiary at
titude at Mexico City has made the
lives and property of foreigners there
unsafe. Despite the sh1rpest oe notes
10 Carranza, the first chief" has thus
far failed TO take any steps to relieve
the situation. He has been asked to
send food supplies there to relieve the
situation. but as yet has refused. To-
day extreme pressure was being con-
tinued and the State Department was
hopeful that the necessary conccs-
sions will be made.
The reports from the Brazilian
minister at Mexico City, who is in
cnarge OF the affairs of this govern
mcnt, emphasize the dangerous char
actcr of tho situation lie says there
is a real shortage. of feed and that
tho "anti-gringo" leaders arc doing
their best to start an anti-fOreign
demonstration. The business men
and bankers of the Mexican capital,
tho minister reports. have arranged
to protect themselves should Obregon
make good his threat and leave the
capital
The ambassador reported on the
action OF the diplomatic corps at its
meeting on Saturday. but the depart
ment has withheld this portion of his
comment.
Representatives of the \. b. c. powers
emphatically deny that they have sug
pested an international expedition TO th'
State Department. They very frankly
say that they do not believe their gov
crnments would favor any such proceed
ure. which would be very expensive. The
representatives of the European nations
equally as frankly say that even though
the United States would permit such al
expedition prohibited by the Momo'
Doctrme-the international situation
abroad would not permit it.
4Advices received here today say tina
Villa is considering changing his plan
and moving against Mexico City in th
near future Should he do so, the situa
tion would be relieved as. ii successful

corrs to Join him at GuadalaJara, ou
they have declined the invitation.
