President Thinks Rapid Developments
Will Justify His Policy
WASHINGTON, Jan 22. President
Wilson may not respond to benator Kail's
resolution, adopted bj the Senate, re
questing information on this Govern
ment's negotiations with Mexico, for ut
least a month or six weeks. It was au
thoritatively learned today that It may
even be much longer A great mass of
matter has been turned over to the Whlto
House and from it must bo selected what
the President desires to send to Congress.
Much of this matter. It was stated, Is of
a confidential nature and must be handled
with great care. In addition, the situation
In Mexico is declared to be developing so
rapidly that there is scarcely a day when
something does not occur to Inciease
the bulk of the negotiations. It Is un
derstood to be the hope of the President
that before he (ends the data to Con
gress conditions In Curra ma's country
will have reached a point where they will
constitute a plain testimonial that the
Administration has pursued the rfsht
course toward oiexico.
The President's decision Is taken to. In
dicate a belief that the demand for In
tervention ind the protests against his
course havo reached their highest point
and that the plan to give Carranxa a
chance, to prove himself has the Indorse
