FAMINE FliLLOlllOBIItllSlllJ; P WlW WILSON'S TOLIGY Every Phase of Situation Dis cussed by Them at Meet ing Yesterday. FORCE HUERTA TO RETIRE President and Secretary Bryan' Hope to Bring About Settlement . With-; out Lifting Embargo on Arms. Hale Now in Mexico. Washington, Nov. 11. PrsjadenV Wilson's cabinet stands firmly hehind liim in his efforts to lorce "the retire ment of Provisional President Huerta. For more than two , hours today tie cabinet discussed every phase of the Mexican situation, and, the concensus of opinion was that the United States should take not a single backward step in its announced programme. Though cabinet ineiuters were reti cent afterwards about expressing their views, it became Known that all favor ed steps which would convince Huerta that the United States was in earnest in its demand that he eliminate him self from the situation. On the ques tion of raising the embargo on arms, the cabinet members expressed . vari ous opinions. - 1 Ther is a hope on the part of both the President and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permit ting exportation of arms may not be renuir;d to solve the-prablem. Influ ences are at work, which, in the opin ion of many officials, may force the early collapse of the Huerta regime. Ther; is a closer understanding," for instance, and more frequent commun ication between the State Department and foreign governments - generally than has been in evidence at any: time since the Mexican proDiem became- so widelv international- -Not only through the American em bassies and legations abroad, but tnrougn the diplomatic corps in Wash ington, Secretary Bryan is giving such detailed information of the American policy, as-to- leave, no doubt .of what thj? United States wouhi;like.tqsee accom plished. r- " ' No-Request for Support. . ' So far as is known, there haVe besn no direct requests for-foreign support. What the United States is seeking is an acquiescence In its policy by the powers, sucn an approval to carry with it discouragement of financial aid to the Huerta regime." - ' A few weeks of financial isolation, it is believed by high officials fosre, will :orce the' retirement of Huerta. That President .Wilson might issue a statement in a day or two making a comprehensive 'explanation of the" purposes of the United States, was in dicated by some diplomats. It has been suggested to the President that such a declaration might plaos on re cord before the world the reasons why the elections conducted. by the Huerta government could not bs recognized by the united States. . : It is reported that in this connection the President may, - announce - in ad vance the repudiation of any acts-of. the new Congress, which General-Huerta has said would be convened on November 20th. President Wilson was in communi cation again today through Senator Bacon with members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Republi cans and Democrats alike are support ing the policy Of the executive and he is giving serious consideration to their views, as to the removal of the embar go on arms, v ' , It was reported today that Sir Ed ward Tyrrell, private secretary to the British foreign minister, Sir Edward Grey, had obtained Secretary Bryan's views on the situation, and had trans mitted them in a long report of the situation to Lor -n.-v-' Senor de la Vega, Cuban charge here, today denied for his government a report that two Cuban warships had been offered the Constitutionalists. ; .
