BARRETT SEES HOPE OF PEACE.
Director OF Pan 4 me rtcan Union
COnfers with Nexicaus,

Following n conference here yesterday
with several Mexicans OF prominence, rep
resenting both sides OF the present CON
uorersy, John Barrett. director ger eral
of the Pan-American Union, said:
Il sincerely believe that mediation has
survived its greatest crisis and with the
return OF Minister Naon from Washington
after his conference with President VII
son and Secretary Bryan will presently
evolve successful method for the paci-
ication of Mexico.
1T Is most unfortunate that there
should be such widespread comment and
opinion that mediation II doomed to fall
IRE, ana this Is due largely to the fact
that the medlatOrs have not in the short
space Of II few weeks successfully con-
cludcd their labors. Such q great problem,
II must be remembered. requires on the
part OF both medators and commissioners
constant and deliberate exchange of views
on both general features and detailed
points OF protocol or agreement, but
this can be accomplished successfully only
through the exercise Of inhnitc patience
and the use of much time
1T may be most difficult TO nnd n man
whom both sides will readily accept with
out any question. hut certainly such a
man exists and l believe that the media
tors viii, be able TO name him within the

affairs foremost in his mind. but that ne
has come TO the conclusion that the prin-
ciples of eth .cs and honor are now merely
made to apply 10 our treatment of the
Const!tution;llists.
He said that il mattered LITTLE what
party was In power in Mexico city and the
real problems OF the country can never
be solved by force Of arms. The social
and agrarian problems he said, aie at the
