New London. Conn, Sept. IL
President Wilson lent his personal
touch to-day to aid the efforts Of the
American-MeXican Joint Commits
sion in seeking a permanent toun-
dation OF sympathy and understand
Ing upon which may rest the future
relations of the United States and
Mexico.
Putting aside for one hour lts
own cares and his vigil at the bed
side OF his sister. VINO is dying here,
Mr.. Wilson exchanged calls with
Gen. Carranza's representatives. 1t
was the h:s; time during his Admin
istration that the Executive had
dealt personally with a representa-
tive Of the Mexican de facto Gov
eminent. and the significance OF this
fact was not lost upon either the
American or the Mexican commits
sioners.
For the first time also representa-
tivcs of Gen. Carranza received di
rectly from the man in whose hands
perhaps lies the fate of their coun-
try, his statement of sympathy with
the aims of the revolution which has
torn Mexico.
The regeneration of the stricken
nation must come from within, Mr..
Wilson said; and. in answer for his
colleagues and himself, Luis Cabre-
ra, Carranza's Minister of Finance
and chairman of the Mexican delega-
ton, asserted that his country was
struggling toward the light of free
and democratic government.
The meeting was arranged when
the President arrived yesterday,
summoned to the bedside of his
stricken relative. Mrs. Annie E.
Howe.
The President went directly to
the subject of the Mexican revolu-
ton. He was. he said, more famil-
lar than his hearers perhaps realiz-
OF the struggle for free government
in Mexico. He assured them of his |
deep sympathy with those aims, adj
ding that right-thinking men all
over the world must sympathize
with such high aspirations. From
the brief statement he made the
Mexican commissioners realized that
the President has kept in personal
touch with all that is taking place
beyond the Mexican border.
During the conversation Mr.. VIII
son indicated his comprehension of
the great problems. political. eco
monte and social. which Mexico is
facing. II was in this connection
that he said that regeneration must
come from within and that develop
ment must be parallel in all three
lines.
MIR. Cabrera, in his reply, refer
red 10 the United States as leader OF ,
the movement for free government ,
and AZ the tutor to whom Mexico
must look in striving for the type of
government its people sought. Much
had been done, he said, but much
also remained to be accomplished
before the aims of the revolution
lists could be achieved.
A formal statement issued by the ;
said Mr.. Cabrera had ]
presented review of political de-
velopments in Mexico TO show that {
rivil government was being substi-
tuted for military rule in territory
