CarranZa Now Faces
Acid Test" Say
Officials.
WILSON STAND
NOW STRONGER
VIII Require Punishment
of Bandits - Works
Asks Intervention.

From TIE Ttsuls Bureau
Washington. Jan. 1.-The White
House announced to-day that the
President would "stand pat" on his
Mexican policy. Cabinet members,
after the session at which the ques-
tion was discussed at length, de-
clared that the present situation was
the "acid test" Of Carranza's gov
ernment
In the Senate the demand for in
tervention was renewed in the Bit
terest debate Of the session. and in
spite Of the efforts Of administration
leaders. evidences appeared Of
growing feeling, even among the
Democrats. that patience had almost
ceased 20 be a virtue.
Senator Works, Republican, OF
California, introduced a resolution
authorizing and directing the Presi-
dent to intervene in Mexico to es-
tablish and maintain a government
there. until il is safe TO withdraw.
up to this time said Senator
Works. Congress has permitted all
responsibility for conditions in Mex
leo to rest upon the President. II
is too grave a responsibility We
have all sympathized with the Presi-
dent. with the hope that conditions
would right themselves without in
tervention. ! very much doubt now
that such peaceful outcome is
possible.
Congress alone mas the right TO
declare war, and that is what inter
vention means. Congress should
courageously shoulder the responsi-
bility. There is no reason for divid-
ing the responsibility with other ma
tions or to impose it upon the Presi-
dent. / ask that the resolution be
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee. with the hope that %
will take prompt action The reso-
luton was so referred.
Wilson Control Weakens.
These things have convinced oh
servers here that while the Presi-
dent is prepared to continue his pol
icy of watchfu waiting indefinitely
his party is weakening behind him,
and that if real order does not come
from the Carranza government
within a brief time. he will be un-
able 20 control Congress. Even
Senator Stone. the administration
spokesman on foreign affairs, has
admitted on the floor Of the Senate
that if Carranza does not succeed
the United States must face armed
Intervention. and he made an impas-
stoned plea to-day that the First
