Show WILL CONSIDER CARRANZA NOTE IT EARLY DATE Pan - American Conferees Likely to Be Called Together To-gether by Tuesday; Naon to Start Home, By International Newsservice. WASHINGTON. Sept. 1C Inasmuch j as ambassador Naun of Argent I na. one of the principal memJers of the Pan- American conference that submitted peace parley proposals to prominent Mexican military and civilian leaders, is I scheduled to sail for home Wednesday I next on leave of absence, it is understood 1 that t he conference will be reconvened 1 In this city Tuesday. As mllitaiy con-I con-I ditlons in Mexico have changed materially materi-ally since the conference met last, it Is not improbable that a new poiicy may be adopted at the coming session. Secretary Lansing said tonigba that he had not yet issued the call for the conference, con-ference, but this is a detail thai may be I quickly attended to. All of the diplomats interested ate wjthin a few hours of Washington. The secretary also stated that he had not had the time to take J up Carranza's reply to the communica-; communica-; tion of the conference. The belief is growing in Washington that the recognition of Carrajnza as the head of a de facto government in Mexico Mex-ico is the only course 3hat will bring about a speedy settlement xf the troubles of that country. Believed to Be Sound. His declination to meet ilelega.tes to a peace conference of Mexicans, on the ground that he controls the jer'eater part ; of the country and maintain a stable government and that such a conference participated in by his representatives would onlv encourage the small groups still in rebellion, is believed in roost quarters here to be sound. At least three diplomatic representatives representa-tives of Latin-American republics, members mem-bers of the Pan-American conference, appointed ap-pointed by Secretary LanEing, are reported report-ed to be convinced, through the changed conditions In Mexico, that Carranza is entitled to recognition and is the only man now who seems able to establish a government that could be recognized. May Change Policy. The offer of Carranza. in his recent reply re-ply to peace overtures, to meet with any conference that may be suggested to discuss dis-cuss the foreigrt relations of Mexico and the practically direct pledge that if recognized rec-ognized his government win assure responsibility re-sponsibility for all foreign obligations, provide for the reimbursement of those who have suffered loss and damage, and guarantee the protection of foreigners and their property, has done much in the estimation of some members of the present pres-ent administration to remove existing ff prejudice against him. It is not unlikely a that the past policy of the administration administra-tion of ignoring Carranza may be 1 cha nged and that if he can make good !: with regard to the suggestions he has j! thrown out. his oarjse may be supported by the Uni ted 8 1 at es. Will Follow U. S. The counter-proposals of Carranza will jj ! be considered at the coming meeting of 1 the Pan-American conference. The Latin-American republics, it is understood, under-stood, will follow in the lead of this government. gov-ernment. Great Britain already has given giv-en this government assurances that she ha-- no ambitions to enforce in Mexico and will accept whatever conclusion the Cnited States reaches and give it her support. Other European nations whose ! subjects have investments or concessions in .Mexico have given Eimilar assurances. If the German.-Austrian situation eases I up it is believed tbat Secretary Lansing may be able to map. out the policy of this government by the end of the week. Villa Statement. Apparently foreseeing a change in the ; official sentiment toward Carranza. the ' Yjlla agency here. In a final effort to j. prevent recognition of Carranza. tomorrow tomor-row will issue a formal protest denying I the accuracy of many of the things set i forth by Carranza In bJs reply to the. peace parley proposals of the Pan-American conference. Manuel Bonila, confidential confi-dential agent of General Villa, now in Washington, spent today preparing this j document, which will be filed with th state department. Unless the -best of reasons can be submitted by Villa Why j there should be further delay, it Is believed be-lieved that the conference will go to the extent at leasst of meeting Carranza's representatives and discussing with them his proposals in more concrete form than jj they are presented in his recent com-j com-j munlcation to Secretary Lansing. |
