WASHINGTON WILL
HELP MEXICO PUT
House IN ORDER
Wilson Will Allow Carranza
TO Suggest Best Means
to This End
Cabinet DISCUSSES
PHASES OF SITUATION
BY ROBERT ]. BENDER.
United Press staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, July President
Wilson proposes to allow General Car
rama himself to suggest the best means
by which this country can aid Mexico tol
solve her difficulties. This. it was said
today, is the most inpor' lnt feature OF
the note from Secretary lansing to-
Mexican Foreign Minister Aguilar. &C
cepting the latter's proposal ior direct
negotiations.
The note in completed form was gone
over hy the President and his cabinet
in a long session today. II was Expect
ed to be forwarded TO Mexico City by
Arredondo before night.
The note is said to he brief, filling
only two typewriter pagss. In well-in-
formed circles here IL was predicted
Carrmza's suggestion is likely to be the
appointment of a joint commission TO
study the whole problem and make rec
concentrations conce' ming possible rene
dies for the Mexican situation
Other prct.cms Of prime Importance
before the cabinet session were:
First What is to be dcne about
guarding 'bc border, Bnl permitting
Carrapza - establish a parallel patrol
in contonme H.; on his side Of the lnc.
/ Second What to do about sending
militiamen on the border TO their
homes with the incidental increase in
the regular army to fill their places.
Third. And basically most i'm
portant-what to do TO place Mexico
on a hrm footing among the nations.
With respect TO the latter. the ad-
ministration feels that it cannot at
present encourage bankers to extend
aid to Mexico. But It is hopeful Car
rama can now take a strong guiding
hand which will insure a stable gov
ernment ultimately and thus afford
. the opportunity for American flnan'
J cial aid.
, One hundred million dollars. ac
cording 10 a high government ON
, cial would be the salvation OF tn
stricken nation II il could be obtain
ed upon other than confscatory terms
The fear Is however. that the "loal
+ shark" may want Mexico as the col
| lateral-a proposition which Car
, rama would heartily reject an
i which the administration will no
, support.
To encourage Carranza in stabiliz
ing his government and to work on
4, a scheme of financial assistance whicl
will not extort blood money from
