MING TO vOLUNTARILY

PLANS new POLICY
II Is Believed the Adoption of nn
Entirely New Policy Toward
Mexico Is Being Serious
ly Considered.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.--An en-
tirely new policy has been completed
and is under consideration by Presi-
dent Wilson, according to informa-
ton from most authoritative sources.
The new plan will take the following
course:
General Pershing's forces ordered
back across the border. Thereafter
the American-Mexican commissioners
will reopen negotiations regarding
the border patrol, protection of.Am-
erican lives and possibly financial
aid.
Ambassador Fletcher will be sent
back to Mexico and Carranza's rep
resentatiye here will be formally rec
ognized by the United States gov-
ernment.
These proposals, according to all
signs, this afternoon, will be submit
ted to the joint committee when it
meets on Tuesday. The first two
suggestions are from General Car
rama himself. Carranza holds that
for him to come to any terms with
the United States while American
troops remain on Mexican soil will
be construed by his country as hav-
ing been forced ON him.
Judge Charles A. Douglas, legal
l.
representative of General Carranza
here, to-day conferred with govern
ment officials on the possibility of
voluntary withdrawal of General Per-
shing's troops. Immediately after
ward Secretary Baker conferred with
Secretary Lane, who last night con-
ferT,ed at length with President Will
son on the Mexican situation.
The upshot OF these conferences
and developments during the last
few days led President Wilson to be-
lieye that unless he Immediately
adopts a new policy of 'more conf
dence and less conferences" as has
been suggested, there will be only one
way out of the difficulty and that
will he through intervention. As to
intervention it is known positively
that President Wilson will go to the
most extreme limit before even con-
sidering such a step. One reason
for this attitude is his knowledge
of what South Americans think of in
tervention.
In this connection one of the most
prominent South American anibassa-
dors in Washington today told the
United Press the following:
'Intefyention and Pan-American
should not be uttered in the same
breath, but that South America will
approve every one of the proposals
mentioned above is believed certain"
Some OF the diplomats went so far
as to say, .'Should this step be taken
after all possible negotiations and
diplomatic moves fail, South Ameri-
ca viii be even sympathetic should
the United States be forced to de-
clare war on Mexico"
The feeling i'm the South American
countries, the ministers here insist,
is that this government should ex-
haust every formal diplomatic effort,
and if war is unavoidable then all
right, but If Intervention Is resorted
to without first having exhausted
these formalities-neyer with the
support of South America.
