Solution of Mexican Problem by
Diplomacy or Force Rests
on Him.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 3.-Media-
ton tonight waits on General Car
rama, commander in chief Of the Con-
stltutionalist forces in Mexico. He has
in mis- possession a communication from
the three South American diplomats
which opens the door for Constitution
alist representation in the conferences
Cpon his word depends whether the en-
tire Mexican problem will be settled by
diplomacy or whether the Consttu-
tlonalist force will continue to fght us
way by force Of arms TO Mexico Clty'
The mediations have smoothed the
path for COnstitutionalist participation
The United States government also
wants the Constitutionalists to accept
A rejection Of the invitation ma!
eventually mean the withdrawal by the
Washington government or the HioIai
sunnort if has been extending 10 the
Constitutionalis: cause
The mediators tonight arc hopeluiI'
confident that General CarranZa VIII
send ENJOYS here. Instead OF believing
the negotiations will be indefinitely
prolonged by such course, they thihk
a pacific settlement would in realty
the more quickly be obtained, as Ill
parties in the Mexican dispute would
then he here to shape the programme
of peace.
There were no conferences to-day
with either the Mexican or American
delegates. 1t may be stated that all
principals here would like to see the
Constitutionalists enter the negotia-
tons in a spirit of Cancellation. No
obstacles will be placed in the pain OF
the Constitutionalists by the Huerta'
delegates.
Favorable Answer Expected.
Just what was contained in the note
from the mediators to General Car
rama, transmitted to-day by Rafael
Zubaran at Washington to the Con-
st.tutionalst chief, was not reveal
here. The medators said that out or
courtesy TO Carranza the document
would not be made public here. An
answer is not expected for another day
or two, but there is a general conf
dence that it will be favorable.
The mediators have not literally in
vited the Constitutionalists anew, but
the phraseology of the note is such as
In nave the way for their entrance into
the negotiations. 1t is in effect clari-
fication of the misunderstanding which
have existed, and if construed in the
concilietory and friendly spirit intended
bv the mediators, persons who have
read the note say they cannot see now
the recipients can refuse and square
themselves with the public opinion Of
the world.
There is every disposition on the part
Of the mediators to treat the interests
of the Constituencies fairly and
with a realization that they dominate
now the larger part Of Mexico and
constitute practically the most impor-
tant factor in the entire problem. 1t Is
understood here that the Constitution
alists have hesitated to favor mediation
because of a misconception of the char
oo+or ~ tho prccpp1lnPs.
Mediators Full of Tact.
The mediators are daily approaching
Mexican internal questions which nave
as well an international aspect in the
most tactful manner. The Huerta dele
gates. for instance, have been able TO
discuss those phases without yielding
the sovereignty Of the nation. There
is no purpose to legislate on the land
question. The American delegates have
never suggested any specific plan Tor
the remedy Of the agrarian troubles,
nor do they intend to do so. What the
American government and the media
tors desire is that the new provisional
government shall be morally obligated
10 take up the land question and dis
nose of il with justice TO all interests.
What they wish most Of all is that
the new government will be so i'm
pressed with its obligations as result
NJ the mediation that It cannot ignore
the problem as has been done for two
score years.
While the land question has not been
the only cause of unrest in Mexico, it
has constantly bred incipient revolu-
tons. The American government and
the media,ors alike consider they are
morally bound 10 render a service TO
humanity by extending friendly coun-
sci and advice in respect to the solution
OF internal problems, so that the ma
tional government can be made so
strong il can maintain internal peace
and thus to be in position 10 guaran-
tee its capacity for observing interna-
tional obligations.
Example to Pan-America.
The mediators feel that the Consti-
tutionalists will find here that their in
terests will be respected. their argu-
ments receive every consideration, and
that the fairest spirit of impartiality
