Washington. Aug. THE Mexican
situation moved forward today with
two important developments. General
Carranza signifled his willingness to
meet his adversaries in peace confer
ence and an authoritative announce
ment was made Of the views with
which the United States is approach
ing the situation in the Pan American
conference.
The position of the United States
was officially stated as follows:
THAT neither Carranza nor any mill
tary faction in Mexico is in control IN
the country.
That the real purpose of the revolu-
,tion was accomplished year ago.
when Huerta was overthrown. and that
the strife which has continued since
has been over factional differences. and
has not been in reality revolution.
THAT it considers General villa,
while financially weakened, still IS an
active element in Mexican affairs VINO

United States Is proceeding.

counsel. Charles A. Douglas. not only
,,ronoses a peace conference with his
adversaries but practically asks recog-

military leaders that they are so dom

carranza, It is held. can not be con-
sidered in control of the situation more
than any other leaders. even though ne
may hold more territory, because villa
and zapata bands still are operating.
The Latin American diplomats are
said to share the view that a stable
government can only be established ps
the choice Of a man representing tne
views of Madero and one on Whom nne
leaders now at war could unite.
