WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.--Recognition or
the Carranza Government by the United
States and by the Latin-American coun-
tries which participated In the recent
conferences will be extended within a
few days. All of the Latin American
Governments which Joined with the
United States in considering the Mexi-
can problem have notified the State De-
partment OF their acceptance of the rec
concentrations of the conference.
Secretary of State Lansing has called
meeting on the conference on Monday.
and at that time the final steps will be-
taken looking toward Il recognition Of
Carranzs as the head OF the Mexican
Government.
The Instructions received uy the dplo-
matte representatives OF Brazil, Argen-
tina, Chile. Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate-
nala were in the nature of ratiiica-
tion OF the action taken by them in CO
junction with Secretary Lansing. The
Latin American diplomats are instructed
by their Governments to make arrange
ments for the actual extension OF recog-
milton.
This will be a simple matter for those
countries which still have diplomatic rep
resentatives in Mexico. In the case Of
the United States, however. the recos
milton will have to take a different form,
as this Government has not had an AM
bassador in Mexico city since Henry
Lane Wilson retired.
