By JOHN GOLDSTROM.
Universal Service.

Following an executive session
of the conference on Central
American affairs yesterday, it
was reported that the United
States will be asked to demon
strate the declared disinterested-
ness of its Latin-American policy
by agreeing to q revision of its
treaty with Nicaragua and by
recognizing Mexico.
NICARAGUA BARRED.
The Bryan-Chamorro treaty pro,
hibits Nicaragua from forming an
alliance with any other nation and
this, technically, at least. prevents
a union of the five Central Ameri-
can states. including Nicaragua.
Such a federation is desired by
Guatemala. FL Salvador, Honduras,
Costa Tica and by the large major
of Nicaraguans.
Secretary of State Hughes in
opening the conference as its chair
man, said that the Government OF
the United States has no ambition

UNION DELAYED.
Because of the prohibitions of the
Nicaraguan treaty and related diff
ficulties, the five Central American
states have been obliged to post

All the Central and South Ameri-

Mexico. The United States Is the
only American republic that has
not done so.
The circumstance that the Amer

1t is still felt that Mexico. which

the present meeting. As an imme-

because of its many relations with

AMERICAN SUPPORT
SOUGHT BY HEALY
Governor General of Irish
Free State Tells of
Aspirations.

DUBLIN, Dec. 20.-T. NJ. Healy
Governor General of the Irish Free
State, wants the support of the
American public.
Mr.. Healy's views. as they be.
came known definitely tonight. fol.
low:
We would ask the American
public to give to the new govern
ment moral support, and at any
rate not to give its enemies finan-
cial support. Forty-one years
ago I visited nearly every State
in the Union seeking American
sympathy in the land struggle.
and it was given from New York
to Galveston. and from Calves
ton to San Francisco.
Now the opponents Of the Free
State have no policy save the
wrecking of railways. the break
ing down Of canal banks, the
burning of houses, the ambush
ing Of troops and the laying Of
road mines.
No American or Irish emigrant
should send his money to injure
the Free State. and everyone
should open his eyes to the ma
ture OF the campaign to which he
is subscribing.
L do not quite. appreciate yet
what all my duties will be. I
must be guided by the law off
GERS OF the Free State. but i
take it that as the representative
OF the imperial government I shall
have to go through all bills to
see that there is no infraction
Of the treaty.
In Irish matters I shall deal
with the Free State government.
and in foreign matters with the
British colonial office.
