CHILLY RECEPTION CHEN
 ID MEXICAN DELEGATES

BUENOS AIRES, May G. (By| maiD. - With the departure of the Mexican delegates who came to this country as a special embassy from the President of Mexico and whose diplomatic credentials were not re- cognized by the government, the long discussed congress of Latin-Ameri- can neutrals appears to have been definitely abandoned by this country.
 This proposed conference was to have brought the South and Central American republics into a closer union to oppose pressure from larg- CT nations and it has been stated here that it even was to have served as a basis for Spanish-American Union by leading to another conference be- tween diplomatic representatives of the member republics and diplomatic agents of Spain, that country already having announced its intention of seeking closer relations with South America as soon as the war is over.
 That this neutrality conference was once the dream of President Irigoyen as the crowning glory of his inter- national policy is no longer doubted but it has met with such a cold re- ception since che South American republics began, one by one, to throw aside their neutrality and cast their lots with the Entente Allies that no one was surprised when it was an- nounced that the proposed conference has been indefinitely postponed.
 The aims and purposes of the pro posed congress never were clearly set forth, despite the fact that sever al nations invited to it insisted on such statement being made before they accepted the invitation.
 The Mexican delegates who had been assigned to attend this confer ence continued their journey to Ar gentina after being notified that the conference had been postponed and they were coolly received by both the people and the government of Argen- tina.
 Senor Cabrera did succeed in ar ranging with this government for the chartering of Argentina transports to carry cereals 50 Mexico, but this ar engagements was cancelled by the gov- ernment.
