IL is time. therefore. that the gov
eminent Of the United States
should frankly state the policy
which in these extraordinary cir
cunistances IL becomes its duty to
ADOPT. IL must presently do what II

public so long in allegiance and set up

which the great powers OF the world
can recognize and deal with. a govern

revolution would be a business and
not merely a platform.
/. therefore. publicly and very sol

and redemption of their PROSTATE

tell them that. II they cannot accom-

Departure IN Policy.
The statement marks a departure in
the policy OF the Washington govern

upon after several meetings of the
President and his cabinet and a study

To Abandon Neutrality.
In high official quarters IL was ex-
planned that the United States
hitherto had maintained neutrality as
between the factions. but now was
preparing TO choose between them TO
give its support 20 those elements in
the existing factions which gave most
promise % success. An ambargo on
arms and The cutting OF OF other
means ~ support In the United States
would be put into operation 20 assist
the chosen elements as against those
which ignored the American govern
ments demand for peace
While details Of the governments
policy are not yet available 70 was said
on good authority that Il was intended
10 restore constitutional government

agreed on their man for provisional
