Carranza Has Taken the Reins in Mexico Crisis
Washington reports that Villa recognizes Carranza as his chief and will not allow the American commission to examine William Benton’s body without Washington consulting Carranza. President Wilson indicated the commission will start for Chihuahua in a few days if orders permit, and noted courts of international law do not compel U S action for Britain despite British requests for good offices. The president warned haste could cost lives and observed the United States may wait as long as needed. Bryan canceled a talk with the foreign affairs committee while Spring Rice and Senor Riano discussed the matter with him in confidence.
