Show PEACE FOR MEXICO IN OISTIT FUT1E " i Many Factions Fighting f or Supremacy, Says C. E. Meadon of Pachuca. That no matter who is rei-ognid as president of Mexico the I'nited S'n te must demand the protection of all foreign residents; resi-dents; that there will bo more revolutions, and that they will likely continue for a number of years, are among the expi'-ssed opinions of C. K. Meadon, a resident of Mexico for the last ten yars, who was a visitor In Salt I-ako yesterday. He left for Vera r'ruz this mornlnc with the hope that he would be able to return re-turn to his position a a representative of the United States Mininc. Smelting A Refining company. During tlie iast ten years Mr. Meadon has been connected with the properties of the company at Pachuca, about sixty miles northeast of Mexico City. lie has had a good opportunity oppor-tunity of studying the situation In the revolution-torn country and hns a personal per-sonal acquaintance with most of the men whose names have been before the puhlif during the last two years, as well as with the elder Diaz. In the opinion of Mr. Meadon, Huerta will never attempt to regain power in Mexico, for the reason that he has no longer any following that would warrant such an attempt. Asked as to whether or not Carranza would be the man in powec, Mr. Meadon said that while it was likely that Carranza would be named as the president of the southern republic, he would have a stormy road to travel unless un-less he used a good deal of diplomacy. Speaking of the conditions In Mexico, he said ; He will have Villa to consider. Villa is popular with the people. Tie has won a number of victories and the people look to him as a leader. Should Villa conclude to start something, some-thing, no matter who la named as president, there is more than a possible pos-sible chance that there will be trouble of several kinds. Another thing that must be considered before the country coun-try can possibly settle down to real peaceful huslness is the fact that there are several other generals who feel that they have led a winning fight for their country or at least have assisted materially In driving Huerta from 'Mexico. They will want a hand In whatever Is done In the reorganization of the government. To my mind, Mexico is the greatest country in the world. It development develop-ment has only started. Its possibilities possibili-ties are unknown. If the country would settle down to peace, with an assurance that the peace would continue, con-tinue, the development In the next twenty years would surpass that of any other country in the history of the world. Mexico has the resources, the climate and everything else that should go to make a great and wonderful won-derful republic. Unfortunately, however, how-ever, I fear that the long-expected peaoe ia not yet in sight, |
