No Indemnity Demanded Over Vera Cruz Losses
Niagara Falls June 9 Mexico will not be asked by the United States to pay a war indemnity. The Huerta government was assured when the conference opened that the Wilson administration would not demand reparations for Vera Cruz losses or reimbursements for efforts to pacify Mexico. The mediators submitted American counter proposals for the revolution and a provisional government to conduct elections. If the constitutionalists discuss peace, a quick settlement may follow with liberal participation in the new government.
