ca.ranza's Opportunity Great

IT hardly seems possible that General Car
rama and his representative at the Juarez
conference General Oregon can afford to
risk rupture with the administration at
Washington. Dispatches from the border do
not indicate they will perpetrate such a folly,
despite the bold words with which the CON
ference was initiated.
American troops are not going to be with
drawn from Mexico before the purpose for
which they were sent into Mexico has been
fulfilled. General Scott and General Funston
have been instructed to confer with the Mex
lean leaders for the purpose Of devising the
most effective plan Of cooperation. Extermi-
nation of Villa and his band, which is the
wish and purpose of the United States, should
be equally the wish and purpose of the
Carranza government.
So long Villa or any Of his principal
followers remain at large and are able to
draw disaffected elements to their standards.
CarTanza's tenure must continue uncertain
Without the moral and financial backing
supplied by the recognition of Washington
and the Pan-American Conference, Carranza
can carry out none Of the ambitious plans he
Is said to entertain for the upbuilding of
his distracted country. 1t is unlikely he
would be able even to maintain his power
Unless he has gone utterly mad he has no
choice but to be reasonable.
No sensible Mexican, Of whatever shade of
political opinion. retains any doubt of the
benevolent and unselfish attitude OF Presi-
dent Wilson and the American government.
Schemes to exploit Mexico, for the benefit
OF concessionaires. foreign or domestic have
no place in the Washington policy The
PRESIDENT has made It SO plain that no one
can misunderstood that Intervention in Mex
lean affairs is farthest from his thought He
does not even desire himself to save Mexico,
but wants Mexico to save itself
Real progress however, must he predicated
on condition Of real tranquility. Nothing
substantial is going to be accomplished SO
long as Mexico is ravaged by bandit bands,
whether led by Villa or some of his numerous
rivals. The problems of civil government. OF
education, of agriculture. Of land tenure, Of
hnance and industry must remain uusolved
until civil war has been put down
That these things are true cannot be hidden
from Carranza aud Oregon. That they re-
quire the friendship Of the United States must
be equally obvious to them. That this friend
ship Is theirs for the asking, and that It
wells no selfish ambition should be eoualIv
clear. They have now an opportunity so
great that 1t must sober while IL jnsn,res
them 1t is impossible to believe that thew
will throw it away.
