U. s. MONEY ALSO

Federal Reserve Chiefs Sound ed As To Bankers Attitude Toward Loans. Mexico Penniless

WASHINGTON, July 6-The de
 facto government of Mexico was
 informally tonified tonight through
 Eliseo Arredondo. ambassadors
 designate, that the United States
 welcomed General Carrsnza's pro-
 posal to adjust all pending diff
 ferences between the two govern
 ments by direct diplomatic neeo-
 tiation.
 MT. Arredondo was informed of the American governments attitude in q conversation today with Secretary Lansing. after the latter had confer red with President Wilson. Later q formal note will confirm the ambas- sador's report Mir Lansing virtually had completed a draft of the com munication tonight but it may be read to the cabinet tomorrow before it is delivered.
 Immediately after the cabinet meet ing Secretary Lansing plans tO leave for a months vacation. Counsellor Polk will administer the affairs of the state department in his absence, and meet MT. ArredondO in the formal dis cussiOn at which a solution of the Mexican problems will be sought
 It was evident at the state depart ment today that officials believe there is an opportunity now. out of which may come means of giving the de facto government material aid in re- storing order throughout Mexico. It is known the pacific nature of the Mexican note which brought the crisis between the governments to an end. is construed here as indicating that General Carranza, besides being impressed by American military pre- paratfons has been deeply influenced by the pressure and arguments brought to bear on him by friends in the United States. by European diplo- mats in Mexico City and particularly by representatives of many of the Latin American countries. the latter having exerted themselves tO the ut most r5 avoid war and to foster in General Carranza's mind the idea of Pan-American unity
 Financial Aid for Mexico.
 While the immediate purpose of the negotiation in which Secretary Lan- sings note is to be the first step. will be the evolution Of some plan for tranquilizing the border regions. the discussions may take on wide scope.
 There is little doubt that Mir.
 Arredondo received the impres-
 sion from Secretary Lansing to-
 day that if adequate guarantees
 as to the security of American
 and other foreign interests in
 k hA
 Washington government believes
 it possible that financial aid so
 greatly needed by the de fscto
 government, could be found.
 Details of the form and extent or the guarantees required and of the amount and nature of the financial aid that American bankers might be willing ro furnish can only be worked out by prOtraeted discussion
 U. s. Banks to Rescue.
 Some time ago. it is understood. a suggestion that the Washington gov ernment would encourage American bankers to go to the rescue of the de facto government was made through indirect channels. At that time General Carranza had not felt the pinch of poverty which now threatens his sSvernment with col lapse. He rejected the suggestions. as he believed he could restore finan- cial stability without foreign aid. He is known to hold radical views on the question of foreign concessions and is understood to have been actuated by a desire to leave himself free of any obligations in this regard.
 Outside Aid Imperative.
 Events clearly have proved the failure of the First Chiefs hopes to re-establish orderly government un- aided. officials here believe. and with the war abroad. he is thought now tO have reached the point where he will make proper guarantees in order 10 secure American capital.
