Proceedings Deadlocked Over the
Question Of Including carranza in
the Negotiations Now Under Way
at Niagara Falls, Ont.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 3.-The
Constitutionalists must be considered
in any general pacifcation plan for
Mexico in which the United States
has any responsible part, despite re.
ported objections of the mediators.
This was the unalterable stand OF
the administration. The American
representatives at Niagara Falls have
been instructed to act accordingly.
General Carranza's declaration that
it is not within the province of the
mediation conference to deal with in
ternal affairs of Mexico and that he
will not recognize any provisional
government, nor agree to any proposal
that Huerta would be a candidate for
president again, has mixed up the
mediation plans. ~--..
Yet, despite unfavorable reports of
the dispute between Carranza and the
mediators, administration officials be-
lieve the situation does not contain
elements imperiling success of media
ton. !. ~
Some plan for, inclusion of Carranza
in the mediation negotiations, it is be-
lieved, will be found within forty
eight hours. Mediation which would
settle disputes between this govern
ment and Huerta alone and which
would leave Carranza and his adher-
ents disgruntled or in continued
belligerency. would be far from the
aims sought by this government in &C
cepting mediation. -
