LASTING PEACE
IS WILSON AIM
Would Stand Sponsor For New
Regime In Mexico.
PLANS A "MORAL INVASION"

No Intention Of Recalling Troops Until
Problem 10 Solved - Possibility Of
Elections Under American Super
vision, az In Cuba, 10 Admitted-Re-
forms Insisted Upon.
1t is not only the plan and policy Of
the president to adjust the present
Mexican difficulty, which Is looked
upon by the administration as transit
tory, from the broader point Of view,
through the mediation, the results Of
which he will endeavor to compel the
Constitutionalists to accept, but 1t is
also a prime feature Of the whole plan
to use the influence and even the arm
ed forces Of the United States to bring
about the establishment Of a govern
ment in Mexico which will carry out
the reforms Mr.. Wilson considers nee.
essary to lasting peace.
The administration has determined
upon a more important Invasion Of
Mexico than that which has taken
place, adds the New York Tribune's
Washington bureau. 1t Is to be

is measured only by the time 1t will
take for the Mexican people, particu-
larly the handful of political leaders

high quarters. although every effort
will be made to avoid this.
The administration hopes that the
Constitutionalists will prove amenable
to reason and that they WILL when
they control the government. carry out
the reforms which will work for per-
manent peace. In some quarters It is
believed that the new constitutional
ist' government will not find itself
able to do as desired. II this Is the
case the United States will intervene,
asserts the Tribune's authority.
U7t, t.,
tends not only to see to 1t that honest
and fair elections are held in Mexico
but also to stand sponsor for the
pledges that the party which achieves
success will be required to make.
The United States government hopes
that through the alliance with Latin
American nations it can exercise its in

Kind Of Government Wilson Wants.

Niagara Falls it was made clear that
the president aims at the one impor-

of permanent and constitutional gov
