Congress May Formally Approve.
1t is not improbable that formal ac.

to obtain peace which the president
has developed.
II the plan should be adopted by
the provisional government In Mexi-

ed States will be morally bound to
see that the election Is conducted
fairly and it will be responsible for
the maintenance of the government
created by the election.
The president does not favor armed
Intervention unless all other remedies
fail 1t Is pointed out at the execu-
tive Offices that, as matter of fact,
no real effort to bring the Mexican
factions together ever has been made.
Their differences. 1t is said, are far

be persuaded in Joining forces In
stamping out brigandage and in re-
storing order, meanwhile agreeing to
submit the question of which shall
rule to an election, speedy settle
ment of the existing turbulence could
probably be brought about.
