WANTS CANADA TO
HAVE PART alaska

WASHINGTON. April so.-A pro-
posal that the United States cede
southeastern Alaska to Great Britain.
Il that government consents to the alb
fogatfon Of the Hay Pauncefote treaty
Ii embodied in resolution introduced
Today by Representative Smith, Of
Maryland The Smith resolution re-
rites that Western Canada wants
northeastern Alaska, and that the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is unpopular
In the United States, Therefore, MIR.
Hmifh argues, II the territory In ques-
ton could be coded. and the treaty
Ahrogated, two causes for irritation
among the peoples Of Great Britain
and the United States would be re-
moved
Mr.. Smith points out that possess
sion by this country OF the narrow
"trip OF Southeastern Alaska deprives
Canada Of ports on the Pacific coast,
and that Canada would be highly ap-
preciative of the cession proposed.
1t Is Mr.. Smiths belief that If the
arrangement he proposed could be
sffected that 1t would tend to promote
the peace movement" The presi-
dent Ia instructed to negotiate with
Great Britain and Canada regarding
the transfer Of Southeast Alaska tn
Canada. "by sale or exchange. or
both, the repeal of the Hay Pauncc-
fotc treaty being one Of tho conditions
Sef the transfer"

Washington Awaits
In Great Anxiety
Carranza Will Not Consent, 1t Is
Said, and Dictator Does So
Only Because of Fear of

WASHINGTON. April 3o.-~An~
nouucement was made here late to-
night that Huerta consents to a ces-
sation of hostiiities between himself
and the United States pending the
mediation proceedings. but not be-
tween the federals and the constitu-
tionalists,
The United States already had In
dicated its intention to discontinue any
hostiltes while the mediation was on.
Having received Carranza's accept
ance of the mediation proposal, the
representatives of the three South
American governments entered upon
the delicate task OF bringing about a
suspension of hostilities between
Huerta and the constitutionalist lead
ers. On the success Of the mediators
In this direction will depend their plans
for a settlement Of Mexico's internal
strife. IL they fail in this step the
mediation proceedings necessarily will
be restricted to an adjustment Of the
CRISIS between this government and
Huerta and the attempt to include the
correction of the fundamentals of the
Mexican situation will have to be
abandoned.

there is a feeling that he will be will
