UNITED STATES
WILL go AHEAD
PROPOSES TO HAVE DECISIVE
VOICE IN THE MEXICAN
STU ALTON.
NO POLICY CHANGE
CO-OEeration of Latin american Re-
pubiics Was Desired. But
United States Will Not
Change Program.

WASHINGTON. August 9.--With
or without TIE cooperation of the
Latin American republics the United
States intends going ahead with its
that the president desires the side of
the Latin American governments.
but il is said he intended from the
start that the United States should
have the decisive voice in the Mexi-
can conferences.
Ii is an open secret that the South
and Central American governments
have not acquiesced as readily TO this
program as was expected. The inn
preston is that they did not fully
understand the president proposals,
tentatively outlined to them some
time ago. or that on fuller con-
sideration they changed their minds
concerning the provisional express
sion of approval, understood to have
been received from them at the time.
The United States and the Latin
Americans are said to be almost
hopeIessly divided on two points
the United States determination not
TO give the cenifigoes a voice in the
new Mexican regime: that the United
States idea is that American inter-
vention will be held over the heads
of the Mexican leaders as an alter
native to failure TO get together.
Carranza's S reported move in hand
ing passports To the Mexico City Gau-
temalan minister is regarded as an
unfavorable development which ap-
parently followed failure OF the
Washington minister to endorse Car
rama in the recent pan-American
conference.

MEXICAN SITUATION
IS BADLY MUDOlED
EXPULSION OF THE GJATENIA-
LEAN MINISTER CoslriI-
GATES MATTERS.
Carranza Gives No Reason for Ex-
peiling Minister From Mexico
City-May Change Views
of Diplomats

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9-The
espulsion OF the Guatemalan minis
ter from Mexico City by Carran2a
has muddled the Mexican situation,
but the extent thereof viii not be
known until the Latin American
diplomats meet for their next con-
ference in New York "Wednesday.
Though Carranza did not assign
any reason for the expulsion, per-
sistent rumors said he was accused
of encouraging the Yueatan rebel
lion which gave Carranza consider
able recent trouble. 1t was admit
ted that further action with the
Latin American diplomats might be
made exceedingly difficult If Car
rama succeeded improving the oft
repeat ed charge that the South and
Central American representatives
in Mexico have tried 90 re-establish
cientifcal rule.
On the other hand. there vas a
hopeful possibility in the fact that
Carranza' summary action against
the minister will shift the Latin
American diplomats from their posi-
tion TO American armed Intervention
threats.
The departure OF the Brazilian
minister from Mexico City was ex-
planned on the ground that his health
was bad. The state department is
agreeable to having the navy place
a warship AT his disposal as request
ed for trip north. The commander
OF the Sacramento has been ordere
to take such action.
