The Scope and Effects of Mediation Are Still Highly Uncertain. The oponins of the Niagara Falls conference has been poetponed for a couple of days. To those who expect aubstantial result* from the mediation now In prospect that postponement mus? Beem uufortu r.ate. a'.r-.ce erery ?lay's delay will probably dimin? ish the Importance of any airroemont which may? be made between the United States and the Huerta government. If BMltl'l nile is upset while the conference dcllbentea the results of the mediation will be negligible. Tha real settlement of the M?>-i can problem will have to be taken up with the Constitutionalists and the Southern factionlsts wbo npp.ant Iluerta. The public has gotten the idea that the confer *n<-e at Niagara Falls is empowered to overstep the limitations of the technical controversy between Huerta ami the Called States and to attempt to deal with tha whole question of internal disorder and lack of responsible government In Mexico. That has been taken for granted In this country, although there !s nothing but the vaguest hint on MCOCd that the Wilson administration will demand su h an enlargement of the scope of mediation. It Is somewhat disconcerting, therefore, to learn that the Mexhan dele?tate? now on their way to Canaria consider 1t their duty merely to discuss the actual diplomatic break between the Preeldenl and uen t-rul Huerta over the withholding: of full reparation for Iba Inaoll te the Ameri.-an rln?; and uniform at TumptfO. in n dlapatcb from Key Wee! BeSbr Rodricrue/.. one "f the enroye, is reported as saying: We go with the intention of only nettling the for i, and In no manner intend touching upon the Interior one. it la Only la the exterior problem, p.?-, in which tii" A B C m?(ilntors have int? r In a cable f r? ? m Havana S.??or Rodriguez is thus ?, Krted t?' the ansie affect: \\ <? linve ample authority to pave our country's - and to adjust our countrjr'a foreign differences. We Will nut \XOOX of the r?'\olt.i ?<in, nor with Car ranaa delegatee, baca isa Carransa said he woulj not aend delcgatea to thf? conference. it is certainly within the diplomatic rights of the Mexican envoys to insist that a foreign board Of mediation Khali confine itself to spttling outstanding International difference! between the United states and the Huerta administration. The only difficulty of record Is the ultimatum about a salute, failure to .comply witb the terms? of which caused the United States to sfi/.e Vera Cruz. Mr. Wilson made ?in informal demand on Huerta lust summer that I a retire from the provisional Presidency and elltni Hate himself a-4 a candidate for election as Presi? dent. Hut th.it demand wua not in the enture of an ultimatum and was not Intended to be backed tip by military action. I? has been the great fault of the administration's diplomacy in Mexico that 1t has not laid the basis for a mediation of the proper scope. If anything beeldei the salute issue Is taken up at Niagara Falls i; will not be becanae the way has been opened I general settlement, but because the Mexican envoys are -willing to waive their technical rights on the ground that a discussion of the Internal problem would he just now distinctly to Huerfa's .'??lvantage. Mediation as it stands is a pig in a poke.
