in March. It was made clear, further more, that while the American govern ment would welcome a friendlier atti- tude by Mexico, many high officials be- lieve the best interests of most of the nations concerned will be served if the southern republic maintains the neu- trality in the world war.
 Ambassador Fletcher, who came here to report in detail to Secretary Lansing on conditions in Mexico, has told the state department that despite some inn provernent in Mexican affairs generally much remains to cause concern in the American government. This circum- stance is considered important because a break with Germany would give Mexico an opportunity to get money and place the United States under certain oblga- tions.
 Those officials who have not been eager to see Mexico join in the war do not object to seeing General ~arranza sup piled with money. but they believe that without contributing much real aid to the allies, Mexico would make it hard for the United States, France. Great Britain and other nations with grievances against her to assume stern attitude after the war.
