View of the Situation. Tho president views the general situation sit-uation in Mexico, as far as iho progress prog-ress of the revolution ib concerned, as but little changed. Iluerla's resources, ho thinks, have been woakoued and ho has learned of an undertone of dissat-'isfacMon dissat-'isfacMon among Moxu-ans in the territory terri-tory controlled by lluerta at the lat-tcrs lat-tcrs arbitrary exactions of funds. He lei it bo known that no had inquired into reports about American financial aid to Oarranza and was convinced that there was no barter in concessions between Carraiiza and American financiers. finan-ciers. Mr. Wilson prosuntos Oarranza is RCttinu most of his f und by internal taxation and import duiies. Upon tho Benton episode the president presi-dent had little information to reveal, bevond what already had been published, pub-lished, lie said the United States government gov-ernment was slowly finding out the do-tails do-tails and that its course in tho meantime mean-time must necessarily be4 a patient one. No reply had been received to the requests re-quests tor the surrender of Bouton's body and for information as to where tho 'grave was located or as to whether a British representative would bo permitted per-mitted to accompany tho American consul and au army surgeon when the body was exhumed for examination. Requests Not Answered. None of these requests had been answered, an-swered, the president believed, because of difficulties in communicating with Villa, who, he supposed, was moving from place to place, and with whom telegraphic communication was slow. The president had hoard of no refusal by Villa to receive the messagos of tho America n consular agents. It would not be dangerous for the British consul to go to Juarez, nor need Americans fear to go across tho border at that point, according to a ro- Fort which Iho president had received roiu Consul Edwards. The latest report re-port was that all missing Americans and Englishmen had been accounted for except Gustav Bauch, Discussion in congressional circles of tho Benton incident and the Mexican situation generally was continued today. to-day. Members of the senate are disposed dis-posed to suspend judgment and speeches until all the facts are gathored, hut in the house Representative Kahn, Republican, Repub-lican, of California, made a speech to day, as did 'Representative Ainey, .Republican, .Re-publican, of Pennsylvania yesterday, arguing for a more dfaath. pohcj' by the American government. The house committee com-mittee on foroign affairs tomorrow will consider behind closed doors tho resolution reso-lution of Mr. Ainey concerning protec-tiona protec-tiona for American's in Moxico. Mr. Kahn's View. Representative Ivahn expressed the hope that the administration's Mexican policy soon would give way to a new one, which would bring about peace and tranquillity in the southern ropub-lic. ropub-lic. While opposing armed intervention, interven-tion, he assorted that the "'nvesont policy, pol-icy, unless speedily anrr radically changed, must inevitably lead to armed intervention." The fact that it became necessary to issue a proclamation removing Ihe embargo on arms to be shipped into Mexico, Representative Kahn said, "is practically an admission of tho failure of the policy of 'watchful waiting.' Deadly drifting is a much moro accurate accu-rate description of Ufo administration administra-tion 7s policy. And siuco tho embargo had been removed, what, has happened? Additional murder, additional lawlessness, lawless-ness, for which we are probably responsible." re-sponsible." Mr. .Kahn expressed the belief that if this government were to invite the co-operation of Argentina, Brazil and Chile in au effort to solve tho Mexican difficulty, peaco and order soon would be established. . Discussing the Monroo doctrino, Mr. Kahn said the time had come when this government should invite to conference con-ference on questions affecting the wel-faro wel-faro of the states on tho American hemisphere those Latin-American republics re-publics whoso governments are stable and who have made iaut strides in progress and commercial development. |
