washington, June 26.-Efforts to-
ward Latin-American mediation in the
Mexican crisis, favored by Carranza
officials, collapsed today without hav-
ing ~ fached the stage of a formal pro-
posai to the United States.
IL was made plain by Secretary
Lansing to Ignacio Calderon. minister
Of Bolivia, who called with the inten-
tion OF asking whether the United
States would entertain an offer of the
services Of its southern neighbors to
aid in avoiding war, that the WASH
ington government sees nothing In the
present situation that would warrant
arbitration proceedings.
Lansing 5lames carranza.
Mr.. Lansing talked with the minis
ter for half an hour and is under
stood to have told him that the blame
for the grave outlook rested squarely
upon General Carranza- The attitude
Of the United States was so fully OUT
lined that Mr.. Calderon did not mem
ton directly the original purpose Of
his visit.
Not to Tender Good ofices.
When the minister left the state de-
partment he said the time seemed in
opuportune and that for the present
the diplomatic representatives of six
South and Central American countries
who had approached the Mexican em-
bassy on the subject of mediation and
received assurances that the Carranza
government was favorable to the prin-
ciple, would not tender their good Of
fees to the United States. He indi-
Gated that the attempt to arrange me-
diation might be renewed if General
Carranxa's reply to Secretary Lans-
ing's last note furnished any basis on
which the proposal could be founded.
