Niagara Falls. June 1S.--Thc Ameri-
can delegation TO the mediation con-
ference tonight made public state
mcnt. issued with the consent of Tie
Washington government, replying TO
the statement given out last night by
the Mexican delegation in which the
American plan for the establishment
OF q provisional government in Mexi-
20 with constitutionalist n: It's head
was criticised.
Suggestions that President Wilson
had any intent to destroy the electoral
interest in Mexico are utterly denied
by the American representatives. The
statement covers the whole range of
criticism by the iiuerta delegates
Coming OIL the eve of the full con-
ference tomorrow which may he post
poned until Saturday. It was inter
preted as expressing the ,lnalterable
position Of the United States in future
parleys.
The :tatement In substance follows:
THE American representatives do
not think 1t Is conducive TO the In
tcrest Of mediation to publish during
its pendency. the various. plans or the
contentious or the parties, but as the
Mexican representatives have given
out formal statement of their OBJ
jections TO the appointment OF n con-
:ititutionalist as provisional president.
because among other things an cleo
tion conducted by such provisional
president would not represent the will
of the Mexican people, It hss been
thought necessary to give part Of the
anewer to, the Letter ti;Xritten> by Mr..
RabaSa.sT g2f Z =, rss1. j
"1n that answer the American rep
resentauves utterly repudlate any sug-
gestions that the American president
has any intent of destroying the cleo
toral liberty of Mexico and insist that
the Mexican representatives entirely
understand the motives and objects
of the president. who recognizes the
facts and sees in the past success of
constitulionalist army indisputable
evidence of the approval of the Mexi-
can people. But he also sees the full
triumph Of that army means an indef-
mite continuance OF war, with the suf-
fering and bloOished which every war
involves.
Mexican NO1e Effects.
THESE consequences the president
seeks 10 prevent through mediation.
but we greatly fear the language OF
the Mexican note implies that his ef-
forts may be thwartcd because of un-
Willingness to have Il cOnStitutionalist
as provisional president even though
that promises the only practical means
by which the horrors of war Gun be
prevented.
Hope Is expressed that the Mexi-
can representatives will not further
oppose the only plan which promises
peace. when Its rejection means suf-
frage and death to so many. We are
convinced that your objections TO the
plan itself and your fear OF the i'll
| consequences that may follow its
adoption are not well founded; and
that In attacking the details you, lose
sight of the large and controlling mo-
tive which from the beginning OF this
trouble has been the mind Of the pres
ifent and which has influenced the
! American representatives in all that
the have said or proposed to the me-
| diators.
"The American government seeks
only TO assist in securing the pacifi-
| cation OF Mexico. 1t has no special
| interest in the method or in the per-
son by Which that great end Is to
be accomplished; and If It presses for
\ any particular method, or for the Sc
| lection OF particular type of man
| Ii Is only because II believes them to
he the only means to the desired end.
ut would be easy at this confer
ence to write any agreement. which
| many would consider desirable but
unless the most excellent plans and
the most excellent of men are accepted
by the constitutionalists we only
would have a paper plan. wholly in
effective TO secure peace. in war-worn
| Mexico. To bring that war to a close,
TO restore peace and constitutional
government is the aim of the presi-
dent; and that end only can be at
tanned Jy consulting the just wishes of
the Constituti0nalists, who are not only
in numerical majority, but are the
| dominant force in the country.
