READY TO RETIRE ON
CERTAIN CONDITIONS
When the American and
Mexican Delegates Reach
an Agreement on a Provis-
ional Government the Die
tator Will Leave the
Country.
BY Fred S. Ferguson.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondento
Niagara Falls, Ont June 6.-An at
tempt to place greater responsibility
upon the United States for the restora-
ton of peace in Mexico through media
tion was made by the Mexican dele
gates here today AS a result of ques-
tions put to the Mexicans as to the
meaning Of the word politically in
their statement issued several days
ago, declaring that General Huerta is
prepared to withdraw provided that at
the time of his withdrawal Mexico
shall be politically pacified." Emilio
Rabasa issued an explanatory state
ment. This statement was interpreted
to mean that General Huerta Is pre-
pared to resign under the terms of any
sort of an agreement which may be
reached
If the American and Mexican dele
gates, through the mediators, reach an
agreement for the establishment of a
provisional government he will retire.
If the constitutionalists come into the
conferences and a peaceful settlement
Is reached he will also acquiesce. What
Huerta wants is an agreement which
will permit him to retire In a digni-
fled manner and he Is understood to
have given his delegates authorization
to accept the terms of the agreement
as so far discussed.
The statement issued today is taken
as merely celebrating on the first ex-
PLANTATION which was made of the initial
declaration in setting forth that Huerta
will never retire in favor of Carranza.
The declaration that peace shall be as
sured by political means which will
guarantee for the nation maintainance
of law and order Is taken as eliminat-
ing the constitutionalists. who are
