provai by Mexico City authorities of
the tentative program outlined by
Acting Sec'y of state Polk and Am
bassador Designate Arredondo is
practically the only obstacle in the
way of the announcement of the
plans for the direct negotiations to
settle American differences with the
de facto government of Mexico.
These preliminary arrangements
had been held up until some idea
OF the strength Of the insurgents
movement in northern Mexico could
be gained. Officials here are con-
WINGED that there is not a force of
Tevolutionists there so large that it
will menace the American border
through the inability of Gen. Ire
who's army TO cope with it. Unless
some incident occurs within the next
week to cause the state department
10 change its views on this matter.
it is confidently expected that an
nouncem ent of the program for the
proposed direct negotiations between
the United States and the Carranza
government will be made.
Withdrawal of the American
column and protection of the border
will be the first points of issue. Next
in Importance will be the street Sc
cret consideration of plans for the
rehabilitation OF Mexico with the
probable unofficial backing of private
bankers by the American govern
ment.
