1t was also the Mexican government
that earnestly suggested n piah loi

troops on one hand and the protection
of the frontier on the other. are the
TWO essential problems. the solution oil
which must be the directing objects
Of the efforts of both governments.
The Mexican government is willing
to consider in a quick and practical
way. and prompted by a spirit OF con-
cord. the remedies which should be
applied to the present situation.
Several Latin-American countries
have offered their friendly mediation
to the Mexican government, and the
latter has accepted it in principle.
Therefore, the Mexican government
ONLY awaits information that the gov.
ernment of the United States would
be disposed to accept this mediation
for the purpose mentioned above or
whether 1t is still of the belief that
the same results may be attained by
means of direct negotiations between
both governments.
In the meantime this government
purposes to employ all efforts that
may be at its disposal to avoid the re-
currence of new incidents which may
complicate and aggravate the situa.
ton, At the same time it hopes that
the American government on its part
may make use of all efforts to prevent
also new acts Of its military and civil
authorities of the frontier that might
cause new complications.
