MEDIATORS DOVETAILING
PEACE PLANS OF MEXIC
AND THE U. S. DELEGATES
Counter Proposals of the American Gov’t Made Known To
day to the Huerta Representatives. Provide for Method
of Transferring the Executive Power From Dictator to
New Provisional Regime. If Carranza is to Enter Confer
ence, He Should Do So at Once.
Washington, D. C—Secretary Bryan
after a conference today with Presi
dent Wilson, said both were very hope
ful that the constitutionalists would
participate in the mediation negotia
tions at Niagara Falls.
The increased hope of administra
tion chiefs, it was believed was based
on reports that had reached them
from agents of Carranza here who are
in communication with their chief at
Saltillo.
Submitted to Mexicans.
Niagara Falls, Ont. —The mediators
today submitted to the Mexican dele
gates the counter proposals of the
American government for the pacifi
cation of Mexico. The American plan
Is with few modifications the same
as that which mediators ajid Mexican
delegates recently agreed upon and
which General Huerta approved. It
provides the method of transferring
the executive power in Mexico City
from the present regime to a new
provisionad government which shall,
in a few months, conduct elections for
prtesident, vice president and mem
bers of congress.
Agree on No Names.
No names have been agreed upon
fo-athe new provisional president or
hiscu tbbinet. ih fact, neither side has
yet ade its nominations. The pro
gram of the proceedings is about as
follows;
Within a day or two the Mexican
plan and the American plan will have
been dovetailed into one and a futl
conference of 5W parties will be called.
Final approval is not expected im
mediately from either party, however,
as the mediators then will ask the
American delegates to ascertain the
attitude of the constitutionalists. This
may proceed through the Washington
government or in any manner the del
egates choose. The mediators will
take a brief recess in the meantime.
New Suggestions.
Should there be any new
from the constitutionalists the United
States government will endeavor to
arrive at a compromise with them.
When an agreement is reached the re
sults will again be placed before the
mediation board and the Huerta dele
gates. The expectation is that if the
constitutionalists are willing to dis
cuss the peace plan with the American
government an agreement can be
reached in a short time as the pro
gram already makes provision for lib
eral participation by the constitution
alists in the new provisional govern
ment.
