Il conference with President Wilto
| the United States was in no way bein
pressed for action in Mexico and is
sued the following statement:
The statement which appeared il
some of the morning papers to th
effect that European governments ar
bringing pressure to bear on the Unit
ed States to compel aggressive actor
in Mexico. is entirely without founda
ition."
Administration officials were pleas
ed to observe the reports from Mexico
City that a reform element in the
Mexican chamber of deputies was
planning to submit peace proposals
to both factions in the revolution. Sc
far as known, the policy of the Am
erican government will be to await
the outcome of negotiations of this
character. The chief difficulty in ne
gotiating peace. it is admitted by
MeXicans of all factions, is the selec.
ton of non-partsan provisional
president. The suggestion was made
today by some prominent Mexicans
here that on account of the scarcity
of men of ability who had not taken
part in the Mexican disputes and
changing politics it might be eXpe-
dent to select one of the veteran dip.
lomats now representing Mexico in
posts abroad. Men of such character,
it was pointed out, had no political
affiliations and would give the stua-
ton the benefit of their experience
in fields of diplomacy. Senor Corrva-
rubias, at present minister to Russia,
and Gilbert Cresboy Martinez were
being mentioned.

The determination of the committee
o call Ambassador Wilson developed
difference of opinion on
his testimony, in view of the
vide variance between his views and

Bryan, might not prove embarrassing
