May Lend Financial Aid
While high officials have admitted
that the Washington government in all
probability would do what it could to
encourage American bankers to go to
the aid of the defacto government If
General Carranza would furnish pro-
per guarantees, Counsellor Polk took
occasion to-day to state that his con-
ference yesterday with Henry I.
Fletcher, ambassador designate to
Mexico and Paul M. Warburg of the
Federal Reserve Board, had nothing
to do with this aspect of the situation.
The fact that his visitors came to-
gether he said, was merely o coinci-
dence and without significance.
Department officials made it plain
that it was as yet too early to fore
cast clearly what might be evolved
from the more favorable aspects of
the Mexican situation presented by
General Carranza's recent amicable
note. Everything depends, it was
pointed out, upon the degree to which
suspicious previously entertained by
the first chief as to the motives of the
CilISu OIdIeS nave DG6n overcome.
Text of Note
The text of the note, addressed to
Mr.. Arredondo, follows:
Sir: l have the honor to ocknowl-
edge the receipt of your conimuni-
cation of July 4, 1916, in which you
transcribe a note addressed to me by
the secretary OF foreign relations of
your government and to request that
you will transmit to him the following
reply:
Mr.. Secretary: 1 have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senior Arredondo on the 4th instant in
which you refer to my notes of June
90 and June 25. and to assure you of
the sincere qualification of my govern
ment at the frank statement of the
difficulties which have unfortunately
arisen In our relations along the in
ternational boundary and the unre-
served expression of the desire of your
government to reach an adjustment of
these difficulties on a broad and amic-
able basis. The same spirit of friend
ship and of solicitude for the con-
tinuance of cordial relations between
our two countries inspires my govern
ment, which equally desires an imme-
diate solution of the matters of differ
ence which have long vexed both gov
ernments.
Spirit of Concord
Tt is especially pleasing to my gov
ernment that the de facto govern
ment of Mexico is disposed to give
quick as we'll as practical consideration
in spirit of concord to the remedies
which may be applied to the existing
conditions. Reciprocating the same
desire, the government of the United
States is prepared Immediately to ex-
change views as to practical plan to
remove finally and prevent a recur-
renee of the difficulties which have
been the source CT the controversy.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the re-
newed assurances of my highest con-
sideration.'
II am, sir, yours very sincerely,
ROBERT LANSING"

BREAKING THE SILENCE.

The long Hughes silence is followed by
second and hardly less dense period OF quiet III
the Hughes camp, and those among us VINO
have been trying to read the Hughes mind for
the last half year are reaching a state OF
curiosity almost bordering on impotence. But
there is such thing as temperate curiosity
Why not, instead of doubling the motives be-
hind the delay of the Hughes notification pro-
ceedings assume that Mr.. Hughes is busy
studying national and international problems
and is planning to enter the campaign Wen
polished with the issues of the day Mr..
Hughes has been rusting for six years A man
can't be dragged off the bench and placed Oh
the stump overnight
Instead of Withholding his opinions, as some
have limited, Mr.. Hughes, lawyer
like, is preparing his case, is forming dlstlnc-
tive opinions and hammering them into shape
for one of the hardest campaigns ever faced by
a republican candidate for the presidency. In
stead of waiting to see which way the cat will
Jump, as some observers seem to suspect, 1T IS
easier to believe that Hughes is not waiting for
the cat, but is planning to help that animal IN
its Jumping
No. pussyfooting has never been one OF the
Hughes accomplishments Without profess
ing to like silence at this season in campaign
year, nor pretending to admire Mr.. Hughes
placid offishness in holding down his justice
ship while he waited for the Chicago conven-
ton, we can honestly congratulate him for the
sagacity he shows in appraising the enemy S
strength.
Mr. Hughes can't go before the people and
ask election as mere republican; he has to be
something bigger than that, this year. lie
must talk on something more. solid than the Old
republican platitudes.
The republican platforms chief promise is
reliable foreign policy. A good deal IS ex-
pected of the republican candidates opening
speech. The Hughes declaration must be as
impressive as the Hughes silence.
