Two Factors Bridge Crisis
Reports from Mexico ihdicate that
t"" factors played important parts in
bringing peaceful ending to the re-
cent crisis. The chief of these, it is
asserted, was the overwhelming
strength of the United States and the
general knowledge among the inteIli-
gent classes of Mexico OF the impossi.
bility Of matching the strength of that
country with this.
1t has been well known here for
some time that General Carranza was
fully aware Of the difference in the
strength of the two countries, and re-
ah2ed that war between Mexico and
the Vnited States would be the first
step in his own political overthrow,

ern republic.
Entente Allies Interested
But back of these considerations
even, were others, presented by the re-
Presentatives of European powers and
the Latin American republics. It Is
frankly admitted in some quarters in
this city that the Entente Allies have
had their diplomats in Mexico working
TO avert the break between. The United
states and Mexico. 1t is pointed out
that such a break would have resulted
in the instant stoppage Of the ship.
ments of munitions to the Allies, and
would have meant the closing down of
the Mexican oil fields for some time.
Just what the nature of the pressure
brought to bear upon the de facto gov
eInmrnt, which, while willing enough
for peace as far as, the heads were con,
crrnrd, Was confronted by the danger
of internal strife at the frst sign Of
welding to the demands Of the United
States, has not been mentioned in the
drsputchrS.
Financial Assistance, Too
1t lS reported here, however, that
Arrrd"ud" has been informed that
there is possibility that financial as
SlStanrr for the de facto government
can hr arranged as soon as evidence
is grN"u "f the security of the Ameri-
can and European interests in Mexico.
1t is also limited that this is the Op.
portumty which the United States has
been seeking to assist in restoring or.
der in Mexico, and officials declared
last night that there is great hope that
this may prove to be correct.
