Washington. — The first definite
move toward the long expected change
in policy in dealing with Mexico wag
disclosed.
Carranza has been warned that if
the murders and outrages of Ameri
cans continue, the United States “may
be forced to adopt a radical change
in Us policy with regard to Mexico.”
With the announcement at the state
department, however, came no au
thoritative indication of bow far the
American government is preparing to
go to enforce what lacks, only the
diplomatic technkalitiei of an ulti
matum.
Tb# government announced It* ac
tion by publishing an ricbanse of
notes with Mexico City, and prefaced
Its off trial statement with tbe expls*
bbtum that tbe diplomatic represen
