THE NEXT MOVE is UP
TO GENERAL CARRANZA

! Niagara Falls, June 3-Frona Gen
! eral Carranza, ConstitutionaIist chief
| must come the next move which will
determine whether Mexico will be pac-
| flied by diplomacy

| met, who is now in washington on a
special mission. today will have re-
| celVed a note outlining the attitude of
| the mediators and pavino the way for
the entry Of the Constituencies into
the mediation conference
Hitherto the Constituencies have
declined to discuss internal affairs.
desiring to treat only international
questions and have refused TO arrange
a suspension of hosuuties against HUI
erta.
Those objections, it is understood,
have in a sense been overcome A
middle ground is believed TO have
been found and the mediators feel OPP
timistic
The argument Of the Constitutional
lists against discussing internal ques-
tons in the mediation IS now answer
ed hv the Huerta faction, whose del
egates have issued a statement saving
they consider international and inter-
nal questions so closely Interviewer as
to make impossible a satisfactory So
luton of the entire problem without
due regard for this inter connection
The Mexican delegates also have
taken a forward step in publicity an
nounCtng last night that General HUI
erta would resign when Mexico was
mitted by the MeXicans here implies
clearly General Huerta already has
approved the character of government
to succeed him as it has been outlined
in the mediation conferences.
The peace plan before the mediators
reaches into internal questions only in
q. general way. Suggestions as to per-
sonnet must be agreed upon privately.
The protocol, which Will be signed
here, will be a declaration of prin-
Ciples on agrarian and educational
forms and advice to Mexico to set up
a provisional government, having due
regard to the interests of all factions
The actual composition of the new
government will be a matter of physi-
cal accomplishment as soon as the
protocol is signed. the United States
giving its promise to recognize the
new government
In the new government would be
provisional president. neutral in poll
tics, a cabinet of fOur-twO indepen-
dent man chosen by the Huerta fac
ton but not identified with the pres
ent regime, and two CONSTITUTIONAL
lists. This may be changed if the Con-
stitutionalists take part in the parley-s
here
While there may not be no definite
statement in the protocol about the
general election which the provisional
government would conduct. It virtual
" has been strong enOu"h to actually
restore confidence before a pres1de4-
tial election is held. For this reason
il has been thought best to have the
provisional government serve the late
President Madero's uneHpired term
conducting the regular presidential
election in 1915.
There will be elections in the mean
time for members o. the house Of dep
uties and the senate and Q practlcaIly
