statement m selecting a man or group
OF men to whom shall be given the
unlimited support of the United states
as constituting a government In Mexico.
The calling into conference OF the
three ranking Ministers as well as the
A r C Ambassadors. who TOOK part in
the mediation OF a year ago Is inter-
preted as meaning hat the President
wishes the present discussion to include
all OF Latin America as well as the
three greatest republics OF South Amer
lea.
1t is expected that II the diplomats
at Thursdays conference Indicate that
the Presidents two proposals will en-
Joy the cordial support OF their Govern

formal communication OF .he United
States intentions to all OF the Govern
ments OF Central and South America.
1t 10 we'll known that the South Amer
lean Governments consider conditions In

are ready Z support the United States
In any sincere effort 20 relieve the Nexi-

military intervention In Mexico by the
United States would give no offence in

undertaken after due regard for the
wishes and interests Of the other re-
publics.
1t Il not understood that the Latin
American Governments have the slight
est desire to participate In any Joint
intervention In Mexico. but that frank
consultation OF them by the United
States would be greatly appreciated in
the event OF any drastic action being
decided upon. There is good reason 20
believe they would lend their cordial
support to a proposal that the United
states keep open the railway from Vera
/ Cruz to Mexico city.
on the other hand, when IL comes to
q question OF setting up a new govern
nent In Mexico more difficulty Is likely
To be encountered II the Latin Ameri-
cans are to be pleased. Every Latin
American who will participate In Thurs
days conference may be counted upon
to oppose any recognition OF either Of
the factions now c~ontending for su-
premacy In Mexico.
The Governments OF all lean strongly
toward the so-called Cientifco element
In Mexico and would be greatly en-

However. 1t can be positively stated
that the Administration has no inten-

supporting such a programme pa rticu-

conference TO be held on Thursday. I,
IL positively known that not a single
step has been taken in the Army, Navy
or State departments looking toward
practical action in Mexico. While IL is
presumed that the hrst measure TO be
adopted In support OF any plan for re-
solving the Mexican question would be
the placing OF an embargo on arms ship
ments TO Mexico. there is as vet no sign
that this is TO be lone soon.
Meanwhile many officials have been
urging that the Administrator do not
attempt to act in Mexico until the grayer
issue with Germany Is disposed OF on
the other hand Others argue that to
undertake some ambitious programme
IN Mexico would give the United States
the best excuse in the world Ia prepare
for the eventuslities OF the European
