CLASH BETWEEN DIRECTOR BAR.
= RETr AND STATE DEPART.
MENr OVER MEDIATION.
PAN-AMERIcAN OFFICIAL
ACCUSED OF PEANUT POLITICS
Mexican Residents Believe United
States Will Observation-Disclosures
Denies There Has Been ANY Change
Of Policy and Says Position on In
tsrvention is Unchanged.

Washington, Feb. 15-The clash be-
tween Director John Barrett. Of the
American Union, and the state
departmen over Barrett's proposal for
"a mediation commission" to bring
about peace in Mexico. is hardly less
a sensation in official circles here than
the Mexican imbroglio itself. The two
affairs divided attention today.
The state departments memorandum
last night chsxiecterizing Director
Barrett's. proposal as "mfschievious
activity, sentimentality and amateur
politics." dropped into official circles
Ikea bomb, and coupled with the pro-
tests Of the American colony in Mex
leo City. forwarded by Ambassador
Wilson, it produced a situation start
ling. to say the least.
The Pan-American Union is sup
ported by the United States and the
republics of Central and South Ameri-
ca. Each pays towards its support by
contributions based on population. and
each nation has one vote in the Sc
lection Of a director. The United
States pays the largest part of the ex-
penses. and while Director Barrett has
no official connection with Latin Am
erican relations OF the United States
he is naturally in close relations to
the state department in it's dealings
with the republic of the south.
At the White House it was stated
that President Taft had sent no com
munication to the British minister, di-
rectly or Indirectly, and that the posi-
ton Of the United States as to inter
vention was unchanged.
