The Ambassadors from Ar itina. Brazil and Chile and the nisters from Bolivia, Uruguay and atemala have been asked to eonwith Secretary Lansing here ursday. This announcement was made at } State Department tonight: "On Thursday afternoon tuer?*. will an informal conference at the ite Department to consider the (xican situation. Those taking part the conference will be the Ambasiors from Brazil. Argentina and ile and the three ranking Miniss of the American Republics, mely those of Bolivia, Uruguay d Guatemala. As to the details ich will be considered nothing can said at the present time, as the lference will tie entirely confiden1." While the State Department char erized the coming conference as informal one, the sentiment hap en growing among American oflils that the next step in the Mexin situation should he taken in can't with the Nations of Central sind nth America, even if the trend uuld he toward military action. The three Ambassadors were raeitors in the Niagara conference in 14. Tiie three Ministers are from int of seniority at the head of the ntral American Legation corps, tion in concert with the Central d South Americans would be in e with President Wilson's plan for closer relationship between the lited States and those countries d is planned to show that tha TTni 1 States considers the Mexican estion the common cause of the n-American group and that this vernment entertains no idea of terorial aggression, but is acting lely as Mexico's nearest powerful end and neighbor. Those in close touch with the ixican question have been aware r some time that the views of the .n-Americans were being taken into naideration in the Mexican tiues01 and on various occasions have en in the President's utterances idences to that effect. Some of the closest observers of r Mexican situation as long ago as it March professed to see the J'resint's plan for Pan-American co-opation when he delivered an address the Argentine battleship Moreno d said: 1 feel that 1 am speaking the sennents of my fellow-countrymen ten 1 say that there is a growing rmtIt of affection as well as an ulerstniuling for the other coun,es ot the great \Ttierlenii hentispri which w? are coining daily to iderstunil better and wltii h are ' l?? daily coming to uidt-rstaud us m t .ti d to vhich " c are drawn hv nr woo as mi'TC'Sl V 111"* do 'o lie roinraslf" n onif nonon ' ichbora."
