WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.--Secretary Of
State Lansing left Washington tonight
Tor New York. where he will have n
conference tomorrow with Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo. This conference
may have an important bearing on the
plans Of the Administration and the six
Latin American representatives with
whom It Is cooperating in dealing with
the Mexican situation.
Since the administration has renewed
It's efforts toward constructive progress
In Mexico 1t has been fully realised
that ultimately the financial question
In Mexico would be of even greater i'm
portance than the military aspect Of the
situation.
II is appreciated by Administration
officials that this Government In pur-
posing TO lend Its active support to
some new government in Mexico must
undertake to find for 1t the necessary
funds with which ii may maintain Itself
and resume meeting Mexican interna-
tlonsl financial obligations.
These considerations have already ig-
urcd in the deliberations OF the Fan
American conferences at Washington
this week and are expected to receive
even greater attention as the plan for
Mexico develops further. II has been
suggested that MIR. McAdoo. as the Sec
Rotary OF the Treasury aud In constant
touch with the financial interests OF the
country, would he the logical man
through whom the matter might be pre-
scented, in IA preliminary way, to the
bankers 10 whom the Administration
mus; look for money for Mexico.
talked with President.
Mr. McAdco visited the President at
Cornish his week. and II is assumed
thai the President discussed with him
such aspects of the Mexican problem as
would call for the cooperation OF the
Secretary of the Treasury.
While Secretary Lansing would au-
,horzc no announcement to-day, 1t was
understood that a draft OF the COM
mum,cation in which the United States
and the Latin American Governments
are 10 appeal to the Mexican people to
unite in the establishment of a gov
eminent WAS gent to President wilson
for his approval.
No further action with respect TO the
situation is looked for here until the
President has passed upon the matter
submitted to hin following the two
days conference at the State Depart
ment and authorized the sending OF
the United States communication. IL
Is thought that by Monday, when Mr..
Lansing will be back at his desk. every
thing will be in shape for taking this.
the first step in the concerted plan Tor
solving the Mexican problem.
The six Latin American representa-
tyes scattered to their summer resi-
dences to-day. II Is understood that
they have referred the draft of a sum-
mons to the Mexican people to unite
TO their Governments 1t was regarded
rs significant that the United states
siould have asked these Governments
TO communicate with the Mexican people
separately. rather than join the United
States IN a single appeal.
This indicates, II Is believed. that the
action between the United States and
the Latin American Governments Is 20
b. cooperative rather than combined :
taat the Administration will not seek
a. make these Governments actual par
tclpants in the action of the United
states, but only supporters OF II.
This procedure. II Is thought. will have
the advantage of leaving any OF the
Latin American Governments free to dc
absolutely as II pleases and will also
prevent the United States from beins
hampercd in its independence of action.
Way Meet within Week.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that nc
date had been set for the meeting II

he within "A week. Despite this state

policy toward Mexico has been inau
