The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1915-06-04

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The pre-
sident and his cabinet have adopted
a new policy to be pursued by the
United States toward Mexico. 1t has
for it's object the restoration of or
der and the relief of millions of non
combatants from the devastation by
Mexico's military elements which
brought about the conditions regard
ed as intoleralble.
The president read to athe cabinet
the statement to be communicated,
tomorrow, to the leaders of all the
Mexican factions, serving notice that
unless they compose the situation,
some other means will be found by
the United States to bring about the
establishment of a stable government
in the republic. The statement was
approved after long discussion. 1t
will be made public tomorrow.
The American Red Cross has al
ready laid plans for relief work to be
carried out in cooperation with the
state department. The talk of en-
barge on arms is reviewed in official
circles. Reports from many sections
of the southern republic were made
public tonight by the Red Cross of
looting and suffering. Among these
kilograms was one announcing that
both Villa and Carranza forces looted
property of an American named Och
ner at Colima. That the govern
ment's policy, if unsuccessful, might
require Intervention ultimately, has
been considered and the inten-
ton to insist upon a settlement has
not been swayed by the possible neces
sity of such action.
The specific course the United
States will pursue in event the con-
outlined in the presidents statement
but the administration present pur
pose is to give moral support to
coalition of the best elements in
Mexico, and accord the government
thereby created formal recognition.
With such recognition would come
an embargo on arms, permitting the
constituted government to receive
munitions of war to the exclusion of
all other elements and factions.
IN high executive quarters conf
dence prevails that the expression of
the American governments attitude
will clear up the Misrepresentation as
to its intentions that have existed In
Mexico and bring about the desired
coalition government. The admins
tration's policy is the elimination of
several investigating Conditions In
Mexico for the president, was the de
Gliding factor.
They brought back reports showinc
the food situation was serious and
that the country's crops feiled, the in
dustries were exhausted, that the soil
was not titled for the lack of cattle
which were slaughtered or exported
for revenue and that a terrible con
dition of affairs for the large masses
of innocent non-combatants was
ahead unless remedial measures we're
The Carranza agency, here, issued
several statements denying short

famine we're exaggerated but the
Washington government is not taking
these into consideration because Its
