MEDIATION
BY South and Central American
Republics is Not Wanted
by United States.


WASHINGTON, June 24-N0ws
that some Of the South and Central
American republics were preparing
to initiate offers Of mediation in the
crisis between the United States and
Mexico drew from high officials here
today n strong intlmation that the
United States. engaged only in pro-
tecting Its people and territory, con-
slders there was nothing to mediate
so far as the policy OF this govern
ment was concerned.
Although Ecuador and Salvador
have instructed their ministers to
confer with their colleagues on this
subject the state department does
not expect any immediate overtures
from the body OF Latin-American
diplomats. Il Is understood that
Ambassador Naon. of Argentina, who
came here from New York yesterday
seeking information. telegraphed his
government that nothing could be
done at this time towards initiating
mediation.
