gun TO-DAY by the senate finance com
mittee.
Reduction of the gross tax levy of

in the house measure:

To submit for the house excess

i. S. CONSIDERING
AID FOR CARRANZA
Loan to Unsteady Republic
Might Put 1t on It's Feet;
Amount Not Known.
From Tho Worlds Washington Bureau,
7O4 Metrnpolitan Bank Bull ling

WASHINGTON, May 24.-That the
United States treasury department Is
""riouSlv contemplating making a
loan to the CarranZa government OF
Mexico, was the statement made to-
day by a person who is in position
to he informed.
The government has not been
taking much stock In the many re-
ports emanating from the border that
a Germany army was being mobiliZed
in the southern republic.
Flee From United States.
1t is true that many Germans have
crossed the border. but the greater
part of them went there because thev
wanted to get out Of the United
States and had no other place to go.
These men are known to the secret
service branch of the government;
and those who are putting money
into Germany to stir up strife with
the Nillaistas are also known, but the
matter is not regarded as serious by
the government.
Mexico needs money, and outside
of Japan the United States Is the only
place 1t can look to to supply the de-
mand
strong Mexico Needed.
The United States manifestly would
he better off. il is claimed. with the
CarranZa government stable and
sound than II would he to take
chances on another revolution, or
series of revolutions; and 1t Is under
stood that Carranza. while declaring
neutrality, can see far enough ahead
to know it eventually would be dis
astrous to his administration and to
the future peace OF Mexico to not be
on the most friendly terms with the
United States.
This may be called dollar di-
plomacy," said the informant, "but
1t would put to rest a feeling of sus-
picion II we knew Carranza was
friendly; and while the loan will not
be made in any sense as a balm for
bribery, it will really be a diplomatic
COUP"
