The defense which Secretary of
Wal Newton ID. Baker offered for Mr..
Wilson's Mexican policies found quick
response from patriotic Americans
but hardly the response Mr.. Baker
could have wished for.
In n speech in Jersey City, the Sec
rotary likened the Mexican revolutions
lists to the C~ontinentals who fought
with Washington. He admitted the
Mexicans were IA r%ascally lot, but said
their actions were those of all rebels.
The patriots of the American Itevolu-
ton looted churches and drove minis
ters from them on their famous march

LOAN SERIOUSLY NEEDED

NEW LONDON, Conn. Sept. THE
American and Mexican commissioners took
day off" IN the deliberations today to
study thoroughly the data affecting the
border situation. Representatives Of the
Mexican de facto Government and Of the
bearlngs on the situation which necessi-
tated the dispatch of the Pershing ex-
peditlon. These will be carefully consid-
cred before the meeting tomorrow.
The Mexican party here makes no secret
OF the fact that the financing of the de

portance II the Constitutionalist regime is
to be permanent The belief still prevails
here In some circles that the visit OF Luis
Cabrera TO Boston was 10 confer with money
interests there and sound out their atti-
tude toward projected loan.
HARD TO FLOAT LOAN
From New York financial interests II
was learned today that there was very little
probability OF any large banking house In
the United States or Europe attempting TO
sell a Mexican loan Of a hundred million
dollars. 1t was pointed out that failure to
sell such loan would mean "a dangerous
impairment OF the capital of the banking
group undertaking the project. and bankers
are convinced that the American public
would not buy the bonds
WHAT MUST BE DONE
For this reason II will be made plain TO
the financial representatives OF the Car
ranza Government that there is not the
slightest chance of large banking con-
Germ In the United States undertaking TO
sell Mexican loan until these conditions
have been realized:
First. An agreement regarding the
length OF stay on Mexican soil of the
Pershing expedition.
Second. An agreement ratified by
the United States and the Carranza
Governments, for the protection OF the
border, and a signed protocol to that
effect.
Three. An absolute end of banditry
and violence in Mexico.
-Four. Satisfactory guarantees of
protection to American and other for
eign interests in Mexico. with the as
surance that the Constitutionalist Gov
ernment can guarantee such protection
Until these conditions are accomplished,
II was stated. there is small likelihood of
loan Of any sort being negotiated here
or abroad.
