The United Statee, Argentine, Braafl
and China Join In Deciding to
Grant Favor to Constitattonalist
Chief—Action Expected to be
Taken Soon. -
Recognition of tho Carranza gov
ernment as the de facto government
of Mexico was unanimously decided
upon Saturday by the Pan-American
conference. Secretary Laasing is
sued this statement:
“The conference, after careful con
sideration of the facts, has found
that the Carranza party is the only
party in Mexico which possesses the
essentials for recognition as the de
facto government, and they have so
reported to their respective govern
ments.”
Secretary Lansing said ihe United
States would await responses from
/the other American republics repre
sented in the conference before tak
ing formal action toward recognition.
He said the conference contemplated
no interference in Mexico’s internal
affairs, and that the question af an
agtpargo on arms and admiuition had
not been discussed.
The action of the conference was
regarded generally as the most dip
lomatic step in the Mexican situation
since the United States decided to
withhold recognition froth the Huer
ta government. It seems that the
Carranza government wiTl receive the
moral support of the United States
and that an embargo will be placed
on arms destined for opposing fac
tions as soon as recognition actually
is extended, which probably will be
within a fortnight.
The fact that the United States
already haa decided to recognise the
Carraaxa government is thought
likely to have an important moral
affect in Mexico Officials believe
many elements will now align them
selves with Carranza and that ths
latter himself will adopt a liboral at
titude toward his opponents
Official advices have been received
in Washington that Argentina. Brasil
and CMle are in accord with tha de
cision of the Ualied States to grant
recognition to the party led by Gen
Carranza as the de facto government
In Mexico.
It became known Sunday that
some of the South American govern
meats long before Saturday's eon
ferenee at which it decided to rerog
ntse the Carraasa government
authorised their diplomatic repre
sentatives to fmvor the recognition'of
Gea. Carraasa in the Paa-Americaa
deilberatlooa.

the proceedings of the fiaal confer

cated to the secretary his acquies

Extension of recognition Is expect
ed within a week. This will resait

against factions opposed to the Car
ransa government, n step which will
weaken materially the resources of
the Villa element. Miguel Dias Lorn
bardo gave oat a statement In be
half of the Villa faction declaring
that while it was a source of satis
faction that tha United States had
shown its sympathy with ths Mexican
Constitutionalist revolution against
Huerta by recognising n revolution*
ary faction, nevertheless It was in
tended to demonstrate by further
military operations that the Carranza
party's supremacy wes temporary
George Carothera. American con
sular agent, telegraphed the state de
partment the substance of a long In
terview he had had with Gen. Villa at
Juarez in which Villa explained that
he Intended to continue fighting Car
ranza. No mention was made of
withdrawing protection to foreigners
as reported in press dispatches, but
officials realize that the legal re
sponsibility for protection of foreign
ers rests always with the recognized
government for all parts of 'the coun
try in rebellion or not.
Secretary Lansing made It clear
that, while the United States could
not condition recognition upon the
giving-of amnesty or the settlement
of other questions of a strictly inter
nal nature, satisfactory assurances
on these and other subjects have
been received from the Carranza gov
ernment. These guarantees are as
follows:
1. Foreigners will be protected in
their , lives and property.
2. The Carranza government as
sumes full responsibility- for claims
growing oqt of The revoTution, and
will adjust them equitably by means
of international commissions.
3. No one will suffer in his life
and property on account of religious
beliefs; all priests and nuns who
have not taken part in Mexican poli
tics will be permitted to return, and
will be protected, provided they do
not participate in politics and obey
-the Mexican laws concerning the sep
aration of church and state.
4. A decree of amnesty is in prep

at a dinner in their honor given by
Col. E. M. House, at his home at 115
East Fifty-third street. After din
ner they went to the Empire Theatre
to see Cyril. Maude in “Grumpy."
From the time the president ;.nd
Mrs. Galt arrived at tho Pennsylv.'-.nla
station in* tho afternoon until the
end of tho evening’s entertainment,
crowds pressed about them to see the
woman who will soon be "the
indy of the land.’*
With the crowds, the policemen
and secret service agents everywhere
present, the visit of the president and
his bride-to-be took on the character
of a public demonstration. When
they went for an automobile ride
their car was followed by ten others.
When on foot they were never able
to move until r. vanguard of secret
service men had opened a way
through throngs of interested people.
But, although both the president
and Mrs. Galt sought to avoid pub
licity r.s much as possible, they never
seemed to resent the interest and on-
tbuslasm of the public. On one or
two occasions Mrs. Galt acknowledg
ed the cheering with bows and smiles,
and several times Mr. Wilson doffod
his hat to the crowds.
The people, on their p* rt, showed
more onthusiaam for their president,
perhaps, than at any previous infor
mal public appearance. Cheering,

this appearance Mrs. Galt wore a
sealskin cost, on which wore planed
two American Beauty roaea.
As the party crossed tbe sidewalk
from the hotel entrance to ihe auto
mobile they had to pass through
double lines of photographers and
motion picture men. There was a
slight delay as tbe president end Mrs.
Gelt waited at the automobile for
I the door to be opened. In which one
of tbe photographers called to Mrs.
Galt to smile. She did so, aad twen
ty cameras clicked simultaneously.
Tha president, Mrs. Galt and their
party returned to tbe St. Regis st five
o’clock. Mr. Wilson accompanied
Mrs. Galt to the door and then, with
a smiling an revoir, returned to his
automobile, in which bo went to Col.
House's home.
It was when he went for Mrs. Gait
