A PHILOSOPHY OF TEMPERA-

so much to do with each one of us.

not our own thoughts and those

personnel of central government in
Mexico City.
Should this step fail the United
States will be prepared to go farther
even if it has to act alone. But hope
full feeling prevails that the nations of
South and Central America will Join
with this government to the extent of
giving their moral support to whatever
course Is undertaken by the United
States.
In yesterdays conference. which
lasted nearly two hours. the purposes
of the United States with regard to
Mexico were made plain. The desire
Of this government Is that the Mexi can
factions shall compose their differences
and set up central authority in
Mexico City which will have the sup
port of all those now engaged In hostil-
tiles.
II the United States should be dis
appointed in this desire thru the re-
fusal Of one Of the factions to agree
to the proposal. this government will
be prepared to deal with the other fac
tions and will grant IL active mora
| support to any government that 1t vii
20 to any extremes to keep In power
any central authority to which 1t grants
formal recognition.
For the present, as a consequence OF
Yesterdays discussion between the rep
resentatives of the United States and
six Latin -.AIueriuan countries, the only
certainty with reference to a new move
in the Mexican situation Is that Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal to the Mexican
factions to compose their differences
and establish orderly government. will
be renewed with the backing OF the
governments Of Brazil. Argentina, Chile
Bolivia Paraguay and Guatemala.
There Is feeling here that on ac-
count of General Carranza's attitude
this effort will fail. At the second ses-
sion of the conference some attempt
may be made to outline n program
which will take into consideration
future action by the governments con
cerned II Carranza refuses to join ii
