will be short lived. This is the greatest

BRITAIN FORGING

Foreign Minister Earl Grey
Announces Firm Support of
Arbitration Policy - Other
Powers Also Lend Aid.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, April 2S.-"Great Britain
is encouraging and will further en-
courage proposals of mediation which
would have the effect Of bringing TO an
end the trouble in Mexico"
This official announcement of Eng
lands support of the Latin
nations mediation prOffer was made
in parliament today by Sir Edward
Grey, the foreign minister.
He outlined the mediation proposal
as explained to him by United States
Ambassador Page and at the same
time announced that the six British
warships now in Mexican waters had
made arrangements to get British and
foreign residents out of Mexico City
Vera Cruz and Tampico.
Out of the offer Of "A. B. c." cOun-
tries OF South America, that is Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile, to mediate the
trouble between the Mexican republic
and the government of the United
diplomatic movement that aims to
maintain European influence in Mex
leo and South America.
Rapid Exchange Of Notes.
Rapid exchanges of notes between
the foreign offices Of England. France
and Germany today and during the
last As hours have revealed the haste
cellories are acting in their newly
adopted policy.
Until the trio of South American
powers cooperated in offering media
ton of the growing quarrel between
Mexico and President Wilson's govern
ment the big powers of Europe had
done nothing actively to back up the
efforts of the United States to secure
peace in Mexico. To a certain extent
dc Of ~
by their previous recognition of Gen.
eral Huerta'S regime, this preventing
their support of President Wilson's S
demand for Huerta'S elimination. But
at any rate President Wilson's govern
ment secured no aid from Europe.
Now, however, the European pow
ers are engaged in a desperate effort
TO retain their dominancy and prestige
in Mexico and the South American
continent by bringing the utmost pres
sure to bear upon General HHerta to
have him accept the offer of media
tion. Although the actual mediatorS
would be Argentina, Brazil and Chile,
the European nations would claim the
glory Of having forced peace in Mex
leo by having forced Huerta' to accept
mediation.
The diplomatic ENJOYS of Great Bri-
tain. Germany and France have been
Instructed by their home governments
to exercise the most forceful language
in pressing their views upon Huerta.
Huerta is expected to yield to these
overtures after a further period OF de-
lay and presentation Of conditions"
The announcement of his recession
probably will come first from the for
eign office Of some big European
power.
Thus the United States would see the
elimination Of its heartfelt wish for
peace south Of the Rio Grande; the
mediatorial powers of South America
would have the satisfaction of solving
the problem and the glory of the
achievement would be claimed by Eu-
rOpean diplomacy.

Details Bother Officials.
Details of the mediation and the
conference leading thereto. have been
left to the United States and il is
these details which are bothering
government officials here. How ii
will be possible TO mediate effectively
with representatives of Huerta, who
has not been recognized by the Unit
ed States, or by the three mediating
countries, or by the representatives OF
the cOnstitutionalists who are at dag
ger points with them, is a problem
seemingly impossible of solution.
President Wilson and his cabinet
today discussed at length the media
ton idea and examined IL from al
angles to determine exactly what the
United States would demand from
Huerta. The Mexican dictator is ex-
pected to take the same step with re-
gard to his own demands. The two
propositions will be submitted TO the
representatives of Argentine. Brazil
and Chile an dthe mediation then will
eb analyzed.
The entrance Of the constitutional
lists into this situation at once com
plicates the matter immensely. Ger
tain il is that the demands of the
CarranzistaS will be opposed to those
Of the Huerta supporters. while
neither of these propositions are like
ly TO be in accord with the views OF
the United States.

ciple." the "A. 3. c." ENJOYS repre-

peace propaganda into the camp OF
Gen. Venustiano Carranza. FIRST
chief Of the constitutiOnalists Huer-
ta's action was regarded by the en-
vOys as a step forward in bringing
peace TO Mexico. but the general opin-
ion prevailed that he would not con

manded certain concessions, including
| formal recognition Of his government
and the evacuation of Vera Cruz by
the Am erican forces. Neither will be

Gen. Carranza will be asked to &C

fuence of diplomacy.
For As hours pressure has been
brought upon Huerta TO acCede to the
proposition of mediation, every argu-

The futility OF opposing the vastly
superior armed forces of the United

and his close followers expressed the
belief that diplomacy would un-
