NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, Junsr
The attention of the medfators Z
day was turned toward General ca
rama, Constitutionalist chief. Frot
him must come the next move whie
will determine whether or not Me-
leo will be pacified by diplomacy. II
way has been opened by the medts
tors for participation in the esnfe
ences by the Constitutionalists,
they care to come in.
Rafael zubaran, minister of the !
terror in General Carranza's cabint
who is now in Washington on q sp
cial mission, viii have received tod
a note outlining the attitude Of 4
mediators. The communication
phrased diplomatically and payes 4
way for the entry of the ConstitS
tionalists. In fact, according to th0
who are well informed, it Is diflcf
to see how the Constitutionalists e.
refuse-so adroitly have the medil
tors placed their position before tlleI
Hitherto the Constitutionaltsts hat
had two objections to the med1azif
program. They declined to discr
internal affairs, but desired to tire;
on international questions. They =
fused to arrange d suspension OF be-
tilities against Huerta.
Middle Ground Reached
Both of these objections, 1t Is "
derstood, have in sense, been owe
come. A middle ground Is believed
have been found and the mediate
feel encouraged and optimistic. Ihi
profess confidence that the ConSfit

meeting their views.
The argument OF the Conststutiu
alists against discussing iTitsrH
! questions in the mediation Is now ~
s.sezed- by the Huerta faction. Ehu

and internal questions Sc closely 4
terwoven as 10 make fmp0SstbleS
satisfactory solution of the entf
problem without due regard for =
interconnection.
The Mexican delegates have al
taken a forward step in publicly =
nauncing last night that Gener
Huerta is preparing to withdraw frf
the provisional presidency and VI
turn over the government TO an g
ministration constituted so as
command the support OF public OPP
ion. The statement of the Aextdx
delegates declared that Huerta won
resign when Mexico was political
pacified." This it Is admitted by q
Mexicans here, implies clearly th
General Huerta means to abide-g
the decision reached in the mediate
conference and that he already HI
approved the character Of COVER
ment TO succeed him as II has bes
outlined in the conferences.
Peace Plan simple One.
The peace plan before the medd
tors is a simple one. 1t reaches lp
internal questions only In a gener
way. Suggestions as to perSoun

The protocol. which will be sign
here, will be a declration OF princfpi
on agrariau and educational reform
and advice 10 Mexico to set UP a pr
visional government, having due

The actual composition OF the ne
government will be matter OF ph
sical accomplishment as soon as q
protocol is signed, the United Stat
giving its promise to recognize Il
new government.
In the new government there WaD
be a provisional president. neutral1
politics. a cabinet of four--two ii
dependent men. chosen by the Huer
faction, but not identified With I'll
present regime, and two Constitutios
alists. This may be changed if Il
Constitutionalists take part in u
parleys here.
While there may be no. defini
statement about the general elect,
which the ne wprovisional COVER

are discussing with the Mexican del
gates certain phases of this Questr
L has been virtually agreed by
