Might Recommend a Big Loan.
Having recognized a Mexican gov
eminent conditiOnally, the committee
would have the United States END
not only moral influence but financial
help to her neighbOr. 1t is UNDER
stood that members of the subcommit-
tee have talked about the ACCESSIBILITY
of the United States lending Mexico
at least $1,000. 100000 for development
purposes. This, of course. would not
be done unless and until a stable gov
eminent is established across the Dor
der.
For the moment the Mexican situa-
ton seems acute once more. The
members Of the senate subcommittee
brought back the Information from the
border that no n need be surprised
il the Carranza government shall fins

lists, according TO all the information
that is reaching Washington, are show
ing more and more strength. Mean
time the United States is continuing
the policy of waiting and watching.
Ships from the navy are now on guard
at every Mexican port and President
Wilson has directed that they shall
remain on guard until the situation
undergoes some definite change.
Some time ago Henry M~orgenthau,
who was u ambassador to Turkey
when We entered the world war, was
appointed ambassador to Mexico, but
his nomination has thus far not been
confirmed by the senate. The COM
mittee from the foreign relations COM
mittee was down on the border in the
midst of its inquiries when the Mo
genthau appointment was made. Chair

mittee, wrote To Senator Lodge, chair.
man of the foreign relations commit
! tee, suggesting that ii would be mex
pedient to send an ambassador to
Mexico while the revolution was on
and suggesting that confirmation OF
the Morgenthau appointment be with
held temporarily. That course was ac-
ceptable to the state department.
