Cabinet Backs Wilson U. S. CARRANZA SAYS Europe Supports In Mexican Policy HALE CONFERS in Mexican Problem Oregon Apples Bring ARMS ONLY NEED ! WITH CARRANZA More Than Expected Rebel Leader States Position Plainly to Americans. Would Not Tolerate Outside Inter­ ference In Mexican Affairs— Conferences Continue. Nognlvs, Honora.—Before going Into William Bayard I lain. President Wilson's spe­ cial envoy, General Venustlano ( nr ran» made the moat explicit and def­ inite statement lie hue yet uttered with reference to Huerta, th* United Htntoa and thn (-onatltutlonullat revo-| lutlonnry movement, of which he Is the head. "We will accept no transactions,” h<> an Id, “nor the interference of any nation to regulate Mexico's Interior conditions." After the conference, which contin­ ued for two hours, Carranza was non­ committal. Envoy llale remained si­ lent, but It wna evident that the par­ leys begun Wednesday were not fin- • tailed. ('arrnnxn'a statement, however, re­ ferred to the negotiations with Wash­ ington and also to the suggestion from the kmsrican capital that further bloodshed might be avoided and peace j and order restored if the contending factions could got together through the American agents, Hale and Lind, and agree on a provisional president, acceptable to all, who would serve un­ til a chief executive was chosen at a full and free election. “The only thing which wo ask and which we are trying to obtain from the United Htatea 1s the free importa­ tion of arms Into Mexico." This was the final aentence of the statement which was given out as u final n- don pr.-MH dlHpatchea, ( rested a favor­ able Impression throughout official Washington. It waa felt that Great Britain, France, Germany and other nations now stood together In acquiescence to , the plan of the United States for the , elimination of Huerta. President Wilson had prepared a statement of the situation, outlining , the communications presented by Charge O'Shaughnessy and John Lind, I..it within a few hours such favor-: able advlcea had been received as to cause the president to withhold the document from publication. Hood River—At a board of directora' meeting of the Apple Growers’ associ­ ation it waa learned that the prices to growers are going to exceed expecta­ tions. H. H. Davidson, president of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, said: “Our sales manager, Mr. Sieg, sub­ mitted a statement to the directors at their meeting showing 195 cars ship­ ped prior to November 1, which netted back to growers the sum of $86,754.96, which is an average of a little more than $1.50 a box for all cars, which included extra fancy, fancy, special, choice and cooking grades. “The last big price year was in 1909, when Hood River sent out leas than 150 care total, with an average price for all grades and varieties not exceeding the record this year, and our sales manager now has unfilled orders on his desk for more cars than he shipped prior to November 1, at as good and even better prices. “Last season was disastrous, and growers in Hood River, as well as in the entire Northwest lost confidence and developed into chronic kickers. But the same fellows who could not avert last year’s disaster are doing a work this season which far more than offsets last year’s deal.” Mr. Davidson has gone East and will stop at points in Idaho and at Denver and Chicago, makng a survey of market conditions. Oregon Horticulturists Prepare Fine Program Washington D. C.—President Wil son's cabinet stands firmly behind him In his efforts to force the retire­ ment of Provisional President Huerta as a necessary step to the pacification of Mexico. For more than two hours the cabinet discussed Thursday every phase of the Mexican situation. The concensus of opinion was that the United States should not take a single backward step in its programme to restore constitutional government in Mexico. It became known that all the sec­ retaries favored steps which would convince Huerta that the United States was In earnest in its demands. Home of the cabinet members recog­ nized in the lifting of the embargo on arms a practical and perhaps early solution of the difficulty, but there waa no final decision on the point. There is a hope on the part of the president and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permitting ex­ portations of arms may not be re­ quired to solve the problem. In­ fluences are at work which, in the opinion of many officials, may force the early collapse of the Huerta re­ gime. There is a closer understand­ ing and more frequent communication between the state department here and foreign governments generally than has been in evidence at any time since the Mexican problem came so widely international. Through ambassadors abroad and through the diplomatic corps in Wash­ ington, Secretary Bryan is giving such detailed information of the American policy as to leave no doubt of what the United States wishes accomplish­ ed. So far as is known tbers have been no direct requests for foreign support, but the strong intimations that the United States would like for­ eign nations to refrain completely from interference In the affairs of the Huerta government are expected to produce tangible results. What the United States Is seeking is an acquiescence In its policy by the powers, such an approval to carry with it discouragement of financial aid to the Huerta regime through for­ eign channels. A few week« of finan­ cial isolation, it is believed by high officials here, will force the retire­ ment of Huerta. Rebel Leader Welcomes Presi­ dent’s Representative.
