desired by North American capital
ists. The delegates will leave at
once on their tour.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2-i —
The delegation of Mexicans to var
ous American states to arouse pub
lic opinion against intervention on
behalf of North American capital
ists in Mexico is likely to have a far
reaching and dangerous effect. This
is admitted, and may result in a
rupture of the good will and ami
cable feelings which have been fost
ered with difficulty through the ope
ration of the Pan-American Con
gress. It has always been recog
nized here that any American inter
vention in Mexico would be likely
to lose great and profitable trade
with other American nations, and
the proposed agitation may have
serious results.
