Although the three South American d.
nlomats argued strongly from the Mex
%an viewpoint. there was good reason to
believe tonight that the Mexican dele
yates would not insist on this arrange
nent If they found the United States alb
1olutely determined against 1t.
One of the Mexican delegates indicated
hat they regarded the form of transition
IS a teohnicality which could be dispensed
with If the American government found IT
Impossible to agree to the method sus-
yested by the Mexican delegates.
The mediators contended with vehem-
snce that the forms of the Mexican consti-
tuition should he preserved in the present
instance. The American delegates are UNI
aerstood to have pointed out that the con-
1titutlonalists certainly would never agree
y a plan of transition with legalized
Huerta's status. Also the American gov
eminent 1t was declared could not con-
tstently with it's previous course extend
THAT would be tantamount to recognition
z Huerta actually appointed his own sue
essor and that Individual subsequently
obtained recognition.
MAY EFFECT COMPROMISE
There is possibility that a compro-
mise method will be agreed upon.
Pedro Lascurain, who was minister Of
foreign affairs when President Ma
dero was assassinated, could be reap
pointed to the cabinet, and succeed TO
the provisional presidency, and then
appoint as foreign minister the man
who would be agreed upon by all par
ties for the new provis ional executive
Lascurain is persona no grata with the
constitutionalists but it is not be-
iieved there would be objection from
them to his brief tenure of office In
order that the transition might be
constitutionally effected.
