Washington, Dec. 19.-The United

Of a minor nature; the raid on the
Hibler ranch; the outlawry that makes
travel in Mexico unsafe, and above all
the squalor, poverty and disease long
rampant in that country are assigned
as reasons for q cleanup.
The United States is keeping close
tab on the situation. The principles
laid down by President Wilson are
regarded as likely to stimulate some
action toward Mexico. -.
Oil Fields Are Contention,
For the most part military men be-
lieve that assistance could not be
granted unless there had been mill
tary cleanup, for they view Mexico
as too shaky and too upset to gain
equilibrium, except through such ac-
ton. .s, H. - Il, $50. u. =,
The United States and Great Brit

to get out their oil from the Tampico
fields, and now 1t Is feared that Car
rama, with his naturalization ideas
as to STampico, will try to sell these
properties to other interests. =
Great Britain has looked askance at
Mexican matters for q long time. But,

refrained from pressing for q settle
