1.-The consensus of opinion in Latin
America" according to a statement
from the Pan-American union here to-
night, Seems to be that this action
of Argentine, Brazil and Chile is in
many respects the most significant
and far-reaching event in the history
of the American republics since the
declaration of the Monroe doctrine,
and it is hoped the press and people
of the United States will try to curb
the rising war spirit and give the me-
dating nations strong moral support
in their efforts for peace"
No Proposals Made.
While Secretary Bryan and govern
ment officials expressed disinclina-
ton to discuss the mediation plan dur
ing it's present stage, they said it had
not reached the point of actual pro
posals." The American government
simply has formally expressed its
willingness to listen to any plan of

tives of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
may formulate. When formal accept

posals will be made simultaneously to
the American government and the
Huerta administration.

has long been established that the
elimination of Huerta was an essential

of good offices.
But while maintaining this view as
to what would ultimately be essential
to real settlement, there has been no
formal submission of such condition
to the ENJOYS now entrusted with the
work of Cancellation.

While the Latin-American ENJOYS
bent their energies toward negotia-
tions for peace today, the war and
navy departments directed their activ

dier-General Funston and his army
brigade.
