DERIDES MEDIATION PLAN

Luis Cabrera, right hand man Of Gen.
Carranza. arrived In this city yesterday
on the Olympic. Particular Significance
was attached to his visit because he
comes Mt time when rumors OF Consti-
tutionalist participation In the mediation
conference a. Niagara Falls are receiving
credence
II Is supposed that II Gen Carranza de-
cldes to take part In the mediation pro-
ceedIngs Cabrera would be one OF his ram
resentatives. Senior Cabrera declined to
regard seriously reports that he Is to be
the Constitutiorallst candidate for pro-
v!sional President in the event OF Huer;a's
fall
Gen. Carranza must be the nest Pres.
ldent OF Mexico" he said. That is the
only solution OF the difficulty. He Is the
leader CT our cause. IL recognized as such
by all of us and he is the logical choice
Tor the position"
senior Cabrera said all Mexicans save
the conservative element look upon Gen.
Carranza as their leader. Gen. villa, he
said. recognizes the superior qualities OF
the supreme chief and bows to them
Calls Villa a Devoted Soldier.
Gen. Villa" said Senior Cabrera. sis a
much misunderstood man. lie is not AN ex-
traordinary individual but simply an in
telligent. brave and devoted soldier
Many OF the outrages attributed TO him he
knew nothing about"
Gen Huerta. Senior Cabrera said. is
simply an incident In the social revolu-
ton In Mexico The Constitutionalists are
not fighting him personally. but are fight
ing all that he represents
Until the land question Is settled and
the rights OF the poems are conserved"
ne continued. there can be no peace in
Mexico. II would be no advantage to us
To have Huerta out OF the way II his
system were continued. We are fighting
for the absolute overthrow OF the capt.
talistlc government. The men behind
Huerta are the bankers, the land owners,
the privileged classes who established
themselves many years ago. They would
sacrifice Huerta In AN instant II by so
doing they could keep control for them
selves.
Il tell you that this olgarchy OF the
rich must go. No matter what the
mediation conference may decide. no mat
ter IL Huerta gets out OF the country, IL
tho old order retains power the revolu-
ton will go on. Nothing can stop II
until the mass of the people get their
rights"
Senior Cabrera said he knows the men
representing IIuerta AT Niagara Falls
and that they are part and parcel OF the
system"
Huerta Creature Of "system."
what do they care for Huertag' he
said. They would get rid of Huerta with
out "A second thought II they could keep
the government for themselves and their
kind. | regard the mediation scheme as
philanthropic enterprise and a highly
commendable idea. but I think that IL
cannot succeed. What can II decide. any
how? Huerta In bound TO go sooner or
later. and the conference can do nothing
but dispose OF him unless It provides for
the regulation of the country between the
time that Huerta goes and Gen. Car
rama can become President.
THE Constitutionalists control the
greater part of the country and no dues-
ton can be disposed OF without their ac-
quicscence. ] do not know. but II Is log
ical to suppose that Gen. Carranza did
not send representatives to the conference
because he realized that II could accom-
plish nothing. Why should he take part
In having Huerta deposed whe:: the power
would descend directly to men like Huerta
and the old order would keep control?"
Senior Cabrera said President Wilson
has put his finger upon the pulse of Mex
leo In his consideration Of the land prob
lem. He added that Mr.. Wilson's chief
claim to popularity among the Constitu-
tionalists Is that they regard him as the
leader In the United States of the people
who are fighting for the same principles
as are the rebels In Mexico. The Presi-
dents opponents in this country. ne said.
are regarded In the same light as are
the conservatives supporting Huerta.
I'VE do not oppose Huerta because OF
the murder of Madero and Pine Suarez,"
Senior Cabrera went on, but simply be-
cause he represents everything detrimen-
tai to lasting peace and happiness in
Mexico.
I'm time of war you hear mostly about
-, httt When u q haVp cd
and are In possession OF the Government
you will md that Carranza is surrounded
by able administrators experienced and
honest men OF affairs who will. II 1t can
be done, solve the great land problem and
restore the rights OF the people"
