WASHINGTON, October 9.-Recogni-
ton of the Carranza government as
tho de facto government Of Mexico was
unanimously deciIed upon to-day by
tho Pan American conference. Secre-
tary Lansing issued this statement:
The conference. after careful con-
sidcration Of the facts. has found that
the Carranza party is the only party
In Mexico which possesses the essen
tials for recognition as the dc facto
government. and they have so reported
To their respective governments"
Secretary Lansing, on behalf OF the
United States. expressed the intention
to recognize General Carranza, and the
ambassadors of Brazil, ChilenyArgen-
tina and the ministers OF Bolivia.
Uruguay and Guatemala transmitted

LANSING HAD OBTAINED
APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT

MIR. Lansing had obtained the ap-
proval OF President Wilson TO the plan.
and before the conference began all
the other ministers In the Latin Amer
lean corps also had given their ad-
herence to it.
To-day's action was regarded gen
orally as the most important diplo-
matte step in the Mexican situation
since the United States decided TO
withhold recognition from the Huerta
government more than TWO years ago.
II means that the Carranza govern
!nent Will receive the moral support
of the United States, which will include
an embargo on arms against opposing
factions as soon as recognition is ac-
tually extended. which probably will
be within a fortnight.
The fact that the United States
already has decided to recognize the
Carranza government. it is thought,
viii have an important moral effect in
Mexico. Officials believe many elements
will now align themselves with Car
rama, and that the latter himself Will
adopt q liberal attitude toward his op-
ponents, permitting of a reconciliation

LONDON, October 9.-BelGradc. the
