CREEL REACHES WASHINGTON

Former Ambassador Comes In Capa

Mexico Favors Consolidation Of Five

Washington, Dec. 13.-Senor En-

from Mexico to the United States
and governor OF the state Of Chihua-
hua, has arrived in Washington from
Mexico City to confer with Secretary
of State Knox for the purpose OF bring
ing about a peaceful solution of the
present crisis in Central America
lomatic agent" from his government
He has an appointment to meet Secre.
tary Knox at the state department al
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He will
remain in Washington about two
weeks
''My mission" Senior Creel said, lis
confidential. The Mexican government
desires to bring about an amicable ad.
justment OF the present difficulties in
Central America. We wish to end the
present civil war in Nicaragua and de-
sire to prevent trouble between the
United States and Nicaragua. The
United States and Mexico exchanged
views upon the situation, but no pro.
gram of joint action has been agreed
on. The Mexican government was not
acquainted with all the facts leading
up to the present crisis. and as the
Mexican ambassador s nor Don Fran
cisco De La Barra is absent from his
post here, the foreign office thought il
advisable to send a diplomatic agent
to Washington TO as certain the real
facts of the situation. During my visit
to Washington | shall confer not only
with officials of the state department,
but also with the ministers from the
Central American republics.
THE Mexican government hopes to
cooperate with the United States in
devising an amicabla settlement cf
the difficulties in Central America. AS
soon as order is restored in Nicara-
qua, the first question that will como
up for settlement will be whether or
not President Zelaya shall remain in
president then some o.Eer we'll quail.
PRESIDENT, tl:en some other well quail.
fed person shCuld be chosen. Mexico
does not favor the candidacy of any
person, but only desires the selection
Of some one capable of properly ad-
ministering the affairs of Nicaragua.
We desire the strict observance of the
conventions of the Central American
peace conference, which was held
here about two years ago to prevent
further conflicts between the republics
Of Central America.
Favors Consolidation.
"The Mexican government favors
the consolidation. by peaceful means.
OF the five republics Of Central Amer
lea into one union but we do not re-
gard the present time as opportune for
accomplishing this purpose. The peo-
pie OF Central America are in favor of
consolidating the five republics into a
United States of Central America. OF
course, the existing governments of
the five republics do not favor this
proposition. This is an important dis
tinction. The Mexican government
lores that such consolidation will
be ultimately accomplished. The first
r. o''cm. however is to restore peace
