producing damaging results. | am
convinced that it was preliminary

BECAUSE OF ATTITUDE
OF CARRANZA REGIME
Such a Course Would Leave Interests
of Foreign Countries Solely in Hands
of Consular Officers - Developments

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - Admins

sentatives of foreign governments here
were watching for developments today
in the acute situation i'll Mexico City,
where many members of the diplomatic
corps threatened to quit because of Sc
rious friction with the Carranza gov
ernment.
The advisabilitv of united action
for the withdrawal of all foreign lega-
tions in the Mexican capital because
of difficulty Of code communication and
the alleged respect shown them by
Carranza authorities already has been
suggested to their home governments
by diplomats of some leading European
nations.
This would leave the interests OF
foreign countries in Mexico in charge
of consular officers, thereby virtually
severing diplomatic relations with the
southern republic.
