AMERICAN NOTE
fContinued from Page One)

1.-The American government seeks only
to assist in securing the pacification OF
Mexico. 1t has no special interest in
the method or in the person by which
that great end is to be accomplished, and
IL it pressed for any particular method
or for the selection of a particular type
of men II is only because 1t believes
them to be the only means to the desired
end American objections to the plan
approved by the Mexican representatives
have been based upon the profound con-
viction that the adoption of that plan
would not stop the progress of the victo-
rious army nor bring that speedy peace
which the American government so sin
cerely desires.
"It would be easy at this conference
to write an agreement which many
would consider desirable; but unless
the most excellent of plans and the
most excellent of men are accepted by
the Constituencies, we would only
have a paper plan, perfect In form and
just In expression, but wholly ineffec-
tive to secure peace in war-worn Mex
leo. To bring that war to a close, to
restore peace and constitutional gov
eminent is the aim of the President
and that end can only be attained by
consulting the Just wishes of Constl-
tutionalists. who are not only in nu-
merical majority, but are now the
dominant force in the country.
Most of those in that party will nee
essarily be long ignorant of the terms
agreed upon at Niagara Falls, but
they know men and they do know fol
what men stand. And II the right
man is selected for provisional Pres
ident they can, and we hope will, &C.
cept his appointment as concrete and
satisfactory evidence that the provis-
ional government is not intended te
prevent the adoption of the reforms
to secure which the Mexican people
have risen in arms.
IF those selected by the media
tors to administer the provisional
government have the confidence OF
the Constitutiopalists, long step
will have been taken toward the pac-
ification of Mexico without furnish
ing any occasion for alarm to those
Mr.. Rabasa representation if the plan

Gen. Carranza the cessation of arms
follows and a provisional government
is established to maintain order, to
protect life and property and to call
an election at which every qualified
man may cast his vote for the Pres
ident of his choice while If the plan
endorsed by the Mexican representa-
tives should be adopted and a neutral
| should be chosen as provisional presi-
dent we would have secured no prac-
teal results, but still be confronted
with the insurmountabie fact that
the Constitutionalists now almost
completely triumphant, would reject
the plan, repudiate the man and press
forward with renewed zeal to Mex
| leo City with all the loss of blood and
| life that may involve.
In reference to the suggestion that
| the provisional President should be

| that In such a contest as has been
| waged in Mexico for years it is not
only fair. but necessary to assume that
every intelligent man of any promi-
nence at heart is on one side or the
other and the country might well
