CARRANZA TO FAIL
AS MEXlCO'S RULER

y wAsHINGroS, Jan. That the Car
ransa Government now being set up in
Mexico will fail is the opinion of ex-
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. ex-
pressed to-day. Mr.. Wilson is attending
The ran-Ame rcan Congress and took oc-
casion TO pay his respects in an inter-
view to the Mexican policy OF the
Administration and il was not COM
pllnentary.
He also took occasion to review some
Of the incidents leading up to the death
Of ex-President Madero. concerning
which serious reflections on the former
Ambassador have been made by former
Special Envoy John Lind and character
Used the incarceration OF Gen. Huerta as
tyrannical and cruel.
''The Carranza Government must even
tuaiiy fail" was Mr.. Wilson's emphatic
statement. 1t may not come about at
once but II is certain to result in failure.
The disruption of the Carranza Govern
ment will come from within 1t will
be due to the fact that Carranza Is In
capable of meeting the situation.
'Confusion exists in Mexico to-day.
The Indebtedness growing out OF the
revolution amounts to more than "a billion
dollars. Railroads are ruined. confidence
10 destroyed and industry PROSTATE. Car
rama has no qualifications to meet this
situation. He is arrogant. bombastic and
conceted. There is nothing about him
to appeal to the imagination, and he has
no mental equipment to handle a job
that would tax the ingenuity of the
greatest man."

Mr.. Wilson insists that the recognition
u Carranza was one Of political ex-
pedtency and was a victory for the South
American republics and not for us.
Perhaps" he said. III the Carranza
Government can preserve itself until af-
ter the fail elections the Democratic
Administration can congratulate itself

there is little in ii for real congratula- =

American countries were called In and

interests prevailed.
THE brazilian Minister who had

against the recognition of Ca-ranza, 80
