 The Starting Point
 The selection of the bIuejaclxet incident at Tampico as the starting point for the discussion Is in line with the empha sis placed by the mediators on the purposes of the conference.
 Ambassador da Cana, talking infor- mally in this connection pointed to the fact that the tender of good offices orig ftapI a., ton had for it's principal object the averting of war between Mexico and the United States
 While the mediators regret that the constitutionalists have no voice in the conference. they recognize that their efforts may be favored by their abil- ity to deal now with only two parties to the Mexican situation. It was point ed out that in the past diplomacy speedily has reached amicable settle ments of differences when 1t had but two parties to deal with Nevertheless the mediators believe the constitution aIists would have benefited by the presence of a spokesman here
 The mediators have no present inten- tion of answering General Carranzas $ last communication In which he in- qured what the exact functions of his representative would be and precisely what points would be discussed at the mediation. The mediators did not feel that 1t would have been discreet to have revealed their plans in advance of the conference. They regard their own communication to General Car ranza withdrawing the invitation to in the conference here as closing their dealing with the consti- tutionalists for the time being.

Even if the mediators are unsuccessful in their later efforts to get the constitution alists to accept their plans for a new provisional government in Mexico they believe their labors will not have been in vain in that they will have pre- vented a resumption of hostilities with the United States
 The mediators hope they can present a defiinte plan for the reconciliation of all factions in Mexico before the in- vadtng constitutionalist army succeeds in menacing the Mexican capital itself They are counting on the influence and pressure of worldwide opinion to help them eventually to bring the constitu- tionalists to a realization that a last Ing government cannot be established in Mexico City unless built along lines commanding formal recognition by the great powers.
 The mediators are encouraged con- siderably by the fact that the Mexican delegates have full powers to act on all questions affecting the internal peace as well as international peace of their country. South American envoys real
