Secretary Lansing Planning for
Proper Financial Support for
New Mexican Regime
PRESIDENT TO PASS ON
MESSAGE TO MEXICO
Pan-American Representatives
Have Submitted Plan of Pro-
cedure for Pacihcation Of
Mexico

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Secretary OF
State Lansing left Washington tonight
for New York, where he will have
conference tomorrow with Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo. This confer
ence may have an important bearing
on the plans of the administration and
the six Latin-American representa-
tives with whom 1t Is cooperating in
dealing with the Mexican situation.
Since the administration has re-
newed it's efforts toward constructive
progress in Mexico, It has been fully
realized that ultimately the financial
question In Mexico would be of even
greater Importance than the military
aspect OF the situation. 1t Is appre-
ciated by administration officials that
this government In purposing to lend
its active support to some new gov
eminent in Mexico. must undertake
to find for II the necessary funds with
which 1t may maintain itself and re-
sumo meeting Mexican international
financial obligations.
View Financial Aspect.
These considerations have already
figured In the deliberations of the
Pan-American conferences at wash
ington this week. and are expected to
receive even greater attention as the
plan for Mexico develops further. II
has been suggested thar Mr.. McAdoo,
as the Secretary Of the Treasury. and
In constant touch with the financial In
terests Of the country. would be the
logical man through whom the matter
might be presented. In a preliminary
way, to the bankers TO whom the ad-
rninistration must look for money for
Mexico.
Mr. McAdco visited the President at
e a. ~
that the President discusAed with him
such aspects Of the Mexican problem
al would call for the cooperation OF
the Secretary of the Treasury.
Draft Goes to President.
While Secretary Lansing would au-
thorize no announcement today. 1t was
understood that a draft of the commu-
rkcation in which the United States
and the Latin-American governments
are to appeal to the Mexican people to
unite In the establishment Of gov
eminent, was sent to President Will
son for his approval. No further ac-
ton with respect to the situation Is
looked for here until the President
has passed upon the matter submit
ted to him following the two days
conference at the State Department
and authorized the sending OF the
United States communication. 1t Is
thought that by Monday, when Mr..
Lansing will be back at his deck.
everything will be in shape for max
