EUROPEANS WILL GIVE RECOGNITION

Inquiries Being Made As x to What Assurances Have Been Given In Respect to Foreign Claims. Washington, Oct. 21.—European governments are making inquiries of the United States as to what assurances have been given by -the newly recognized Mexican government with respect to foreign claims. It is generally understood that the powers of Europe will follow the lead of the American republics in recognizing Carranza, but it became known tonight that before taking the step they want to know more specifically what settlement is to be made of the huge claims growing out of the revolutionary condition of the last few years. General Carranza has decided to appoint several mixed commissions to be composed of representatives of the interested nations in order that an equitable settlement may be reached. As yet no move has been made by the Carranza government to obtain a loan, but it is considered certain that in view of the condition of European markets, funds with which to finance the new government will be sought in the United States. The sum needed has been variously estimated from four hundred million to three hundred million dollars. '
