Mexican
It May Be Sent To Congress Pronouncement Will Define
Clearly The Attitude Of The United States Toward
The Southern Republic Report Current In Washing
ton That The Government IspcKering'With The
Constitutionalists
Washington, Nov. 13. Secretary ot
State Bryan announced that a state
ment would bo issued within a few
days setting forth the policy of the
United States toward Mexico.
Whether or not the statement will
Ac in tho form of a communication to
congress by President WilBon has not
been disclosed, but some of the diplo
mats here believe itwill be. The state
ment has been under consideration
for several days, and in Secretary
Bryan's conferences with members of
the diplomatic corps he had made it
plain that tho forthcoming pronounce
ment would deilne clearly the attitude
of the United States.
Such a statement, It is thought, not
only would reiterate the views that tho
United States can never recognize a
government 'established by arbitrary
force, but will give its reasons for re
fusing to recognize any acts of tho
new congress either as to the validity
of loans or concessions, and point out
the steps necessary to a solution of
the problem.
It was apparent that developments
In various foreign capitals brought
, encouragement to administration of
ficials, and there was a feeling among
them that tho desiro of tho United
States to prevent Interference by tho
powers virtually has been accom
plished. Evidence is accumulating that a
policy of co operation with Carranza
and his forces is likely to bo the ono
adopted in tho ovent of this govern
ment vbeing forced into drastic action.
It is believed here now that William
Baynrd Hale, the writer, is represent
ing this government In an unofficial
capacity in communicating with Car
ranza. Halo probably will report to
tho state department his impressions
In regard to Carranza personally, his
views on the strengtn of tho Constitu
tionalists, and "his opinion whether
Carranza, if successful in ovorthrow
Ins Huerta, could be depended on to
devote himself to the establishment
of a provisional government that
would guarantee a fair and free elec

OWEN MAKES AN EXPLANATION
Atsures Democratic Conference That
the Banking Committee Will Be
Able to Make a Report to the Sen
ate Within a Week Slight Change.
Made In the Plan of Capitalization.
Savings Sank Feature Dropped.
"Washington, Nov. 13. The Demo
cratic senatorial conference was sud
denly halted on assurance from Sen
ator Ov.en, chairman of tue senate
banking and currency committee, that
a majority of the committee would ba
able to make a report to the senate:
n the currency bill within a week or
to days. This probably means that
there will be no caucus action on the
currency question and that the bill
will be carried direct to the floor of
the senate.
As soon as the conference met,.
Chairman Owen took the floor and.
made an explanation of what had been
done up to date In committee and.
asked for further time. Senator
Owens' speech was practically tho
only one made In the conference!
After he had concluded his explana
tions there was a brief Interchange ot
views, and a motion was made to ad
journ the conference subject to tho
call of the"chalrman, which was unan
imously carried.
The conference was In session an
hour and 20 minutes. Most of tho
Democratic leaders expressed tho be
lief that It would not be reconvened
prior to reporting the bill to the sen
ate. Six. Democratic members of the
finance committee are perfecting a
bill. It Is likely that a final effort will
be made to reach some sort of an
agreement by which a report can be
made to the senate next week. Some
of the Republican members of the
committee have intimated that they
might join in a report with the privi
lege of reservations for filing Individ
ual statements of views. One of these
is Senator Crawford.
Notwithstanding President Wilson's
Insistence on at least nine regional
banks, the bill agreed on tentatively
provides for eight regional banks,
which Is supposed to be the last word
ot the president on this featu-e of the
bill. Senator Hitchcock 1 ppid to have
been talking In a concfilstorv way to
some of the Democratic leaders.
At the Democratic conference a
slight change was made. In the plan
of capitalization for the reserve asso
ciations. It was voted to make it 1
per cent of capital and surplus of the
banks included, which would make a
total capitalization of $106,000,000.
Democratic members are saying
that when the bill Is reported to tho
senate It will be amended to elimi
nate that feature of the house bill
which will authorize national banks
to do a savings bank business.
