Frank l. Polk. II, II. Fletcher. United
States ambassador to Mex
leo. and Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican
Ambassador designate 70 the United

1t was indicated after the conferences
that thAs government may not agree
to the commission plan for adjusting
the differences between the two coun-
tries and that It IL the purpose of the
administration to solve the problem by
direct negotiations between Mr.. Polk
and Senior Arrcdondo. Officials declined
to state what progress had been made,
but fntfmated that an announcement
might be made soon. This was taken
to mean that the commission plan had
been abandoned for the present At least
and that the trouble may be composed
directly by the two governments.
1t 10 understood that the Immediate
dimcult in the way OF a satisfa story
settlement 10 the demand made by
General Carranza that the American
troops be withdrawn from Mexico as
condition precedent to any settlement.
The condition raised by this demand
may halt proceedings for time, al
though It has been indicated that the
American troops will be withdrawn.
Carranxa Embarrassed.
One cause OF embarrassment is the
apparently reliable report from Mexico
City that anti-CarrAnza factions are
growing in strength and assuming the
proportions OF a formidable armed op
position. They must be dealt with by
Carranza. and possibly by the United
States.
Another element OF trouble Is the
belief that IL General Pershing with
draws his forces from Mexico a large
territory will be left open to villistas,
who are certain to follow In the wake
of the American Withdrawal
