United States. 1t Is commended, can in the
future hold that government to Just as
strict accountability as 1t considers
necessary In all matters pertaining To the
foreign obligations of the Government of
Mexico.
According TO this view, IT does not
concern the United States whether Car
rama establishes a dictatorship in
Mexico or not. as long as he fulals all
the international obligations devolving
upon MIN. II he does not, then. 1t Is de-
Clared. 1t Will be the task of the United
states. and possibly with the counsel Of
the Latin American countries, 90 find
means by which to insure that the just
tights of foreigners are respected.
II this reasoning regarding the
Mexican problem throws into the dis
card practically everything that the
present Administration has said on the
subject does not seem 10 worry the
enb OF the Pan-Amcrican con-
terence. So cheerful is the acquicscence
OF the Administration in the new policy
worked out by the conference that Il has
revived the suggestion heard here three
months ago to the effect that the CO.
operation of the Latin Americans was

graceful means of changing tho United
states policy.

the moral effect of the recognition OF
Carranza, together with an embargo on
the expectation Of arms to CarranZa's
enemies, will result in large accessions
TO carrahza's strength. Not many
members of the conference go so far,
however. as to believe that the near
future will sec Mexico completely

disturbing element and will he able to

see a general Improvement.
The general opinion here is that Car
rama. now that ne IL to be recognized.
Will be more recalcitrant than ever be-
fore. Persons familiar with the Latin
American mind assert that the cirrum-
stances under which c%Hrranza has oh
taincd a decision In favor of recognition
are such as will make not only car
