NiaeSra Falls, June 1s.-The Amer
lean delegates TO tho mediation con-
ference last night made public state
ment given out by the Mexican delega-
tion. cr,ticising the American plan Tor
the establishment Of provisional gov
.rnment IN Mexico with constitu-
tionalist at its head.
suggestions that President Wilson
had any intent to destroy the electoral
liberty Of Mexico are utterly repudtat-
cd" by the American representatives.
The statement coming on the eve OF the
full conference Of mediators and dele
rates. at which 1t Is 20 be determined
whether there Is any chance OF an
agreement thru mediation for q settle
ment OF the Mexican problem. was
interpreted to foreshadow the unalter-
able and unyielding position Of the
limited States In future parleys. The
statement In part said:
'.It would be easy to write an agree
ment which many would consider de-
sirable: but unless the most excellent OF
plans and the most excellent Of men are
accepted by the constitutionalists. we
would only have a paper plan, perfect
In form and just In expression. but
wholly ineffective to secure peace In
war-worn Mexico. To bring the war to
4 close, 70 restore peace and constitu-
fional government In the aim Of the
president: and that end can only be at
tained BY consulting the just wishes Of
tho constitutionalists. who are not only
IN numerical majority. but are now the
dominant force in the country.
Answer Msxieans.
..In answer to the contention that
there could be no fair elections con-
AMcfed by. Z provisional president, the
sn6s1er Of the Americans cails attention
40sIsfh fact that In the past the elections
rs 1rexico have been under the super
! viainm Oft single cabinet minister rep
ressnting the dominant party: ny
analogy the next election should be
supervised by only one onicer repre-
senting the dominant constitutionaiist
marty. Tho American plan seeks TO
avoid the just criticism against that
method and contemplates that this, the
most important election In the history
! Of Mexico. shall be supervised BY the
representatives Of both parties.
at 10 wholly incorrect to assume that
thus supervised It will be unfairly con-
Quoted and you may rest assured that
an the influence the United States can
leettimately use will be exerted to 70.
cure an honest election.
While the American delegates have
not entirely lost hope Of the possibility
Of !. change in sentiment at today's
meeting, the general feeling was that
mediation could not last much longer
ON account Of the irreconcilable posi-
ton now taken by the American and
Huerta delegates.
Anether Disagreement Arises.
Aside from the inability to select
man for provisional president, q con-
; troversy has developed between the
American and Huerta delegates az to
how the elections for permanent presi-
!. dent 70 be conducted by tho provis-
aonal government should be super
yised. Likewise the American dele
yates In Insisting on constitutional
lot for provisional president have ar
sued that the constituttonalist party
not only dominates the country from
! military point Of view but n numeri-
calIy II the majority.
