MEXICAN CRISIS
IN TEN DAYS
Report Comes From London—Paris
Bankers Would Seize the Mexican
Customs House.
LONDON, Jan. _’ti. From authentic
sources it has been learned here that
the crisis in Mexico will be reached
in ten days'. It is expected that at
that time the Huerta forces will be
in a position to offer a bold front to
the northern rebels besides which the
powers are determined tc wait no
longer on the American administra
tion for a peaceful settlement, wnue
the property of foreigners is being
destroyed, their goods confiscated,
miles of railroads destroyed, mine
buildings burned, the stealing of the
property of the Catholic church by
General Villa, the killing of Spanish
citizens and robbing them of their
property and the defaulting of the
payment on the national debt held
mostly in Europe.
Diplomats here denounce the policy
of President Wilson' in as far as the
American president urges the citizens
df his own and other countries to
leave Mexico and abandon all of their
property the European method of en
forcing botli sides to protect foreign
property is preferred.
PARIS, Jan. 26.—The banker* of
this country are demanding of the
government some action looking to
wards the collection of the defaulted
interest on the Mexican loan. Several
suggestions have been made to the
government to have a concert of Eu
ropean powers intervene. What action
will be taken is unknown.
Some curious points of view de
veloped at conferences, of the hank -
ers here as to what might happen if
interest on the Mexican debt was de
faulted much longer. One view,
which was strongly supported by
financiers who disapprove of Wash- j
ington’s policy toward. Provisional
President Huerta, was that as the
loan of 1910 is secured by 62 per cent j
of the Mexican customs and the loan ;
of 1913 by 38 per cent, it would be
the duty and the privilege of the
European governments, whose sub- ,
jects hold the bonds, to seize (he
custom houses by international land- ;
ing parties and lo collect the interest,
themselves.
Those who held this opinion, also
affirmed that the I nited State* gov
eminent could not blockade the ports
of Mexico without destroying the val
tie of the customs receipts mortgag
ed to foreign bondholders.
