! Washington. July "A note for
mally accepting General Carran2as
proposal that differences between the
United states and the de facto gov
,ernmcnt Of Mexico be settled by di-
rect negotiations, was handed today to
Eliseo Arredondo. the Mexican am
bassado designate.
Secretary Lansing took "a draft Of
the note TO today's cabinet meeting
!and had it delivered promptly after
the cabinet adjourned, The course to
be pursued already had been agreed
upon by President Wilson and his
advisers.
The proposed exchange Of views
probably will be carried on through
informal conversations between Mr.
iArredondo and Counsellor Polk who
viii act as secretary Of state during

70 Urge Bankers.
! While high officials have admitted
THAT the Washington government will
in all probability do what it can to
urge American bankers to go to the
aid of the de facto government If
General Carranza would furnish fur
Ither guarantees, Counsellor Polk took
occasion today to state that his con-
ference yesterday with Henry r..
Fletcher ambassador-de designate to
] Mexico, and Paul NJ. Warburg of the
! federal reserve board had nothing 70
. do with this aspect Of the situation.
I The fact that his visitors came togcth-
i er, he said was merely a coincidence.
/ It is not known what form Of guar
antees the United states will seek for
F, the safety Of its own and other for
eign interests in Mexico. 1t can he
stated authoritativeN however, that
the loyalty of Mexican civil as well as
military officials to the central gov
iernment must be insured in some
way.
