tion IN Mexico are misleading That
stepfmay vet come. The President real
~izcs this, but he believes that the pres
ent plan of approaching the starving
McNicans with food in one hand and a
constitutional government in The other
will appeal TO all Of the better class of
Mcxicans. There are in Mexico today
many men capable of sound leadership.
Il Is TO them rather than TO the exploit
ers of rapiue and murder that the
President has appealed. If they get to-
gether and organize a provisional gov.
ernment the United States will see that
IL is financed. While the American Red
Cross i feeding the starving until the
crops Become available, this provisional
government will be established firmly IN
the saddle: win have organized peace
army; will have arms and ammunition
20 equip II while the bandit leaders arc
using up their reserve supply. and will
be in position TO secure real election
which will give all qualified Mexieans the
opportunity to say who shall be their
leaders.
"Only in the event OF massacres Of
foreigners or of gross and improper
interference with the relief work Will
the President call on the army and
navy. He and most OF those closest
to him do not believe this will hap
pen. At any rate there arc already
enough troops on the border to en-
force an embargo on arms when II
is decided to put one into effect"
II is generally expected here that
the first man to be considered In es-

Mexico will be Vasquez Tagle. Taele
was minister of justice in the murder
ed President Madero's cabinet and
refused Huerta's demand 10 resign
He is the logical and legal successor
Of Madero under the Mexican con
stitrtion. II is not expected that he
will be retained as President Instead
he will step aside Immediately either
Tor the provisional president to be
chosen by the factional leaders or
by the non-military Mexicans backed
by the United States.
This provisional president can hold
office only during this year. for the
constitutional term to which Madero
was elected, and cannot be a candi-
date. under the Mexican constitution
to succeed himself II is expected
that because of this fact the real iron
man" OF Mexico will have only a
subordinate part in the first few
months of restoration of order in Mex
leo. because he will become a candidate
Tor a full term as soon as a constitu-
tional election can be called.
