Uruguayan Government has not received formal notice of proposal by Republic of Argentina in regard to bringing about mediation by Latin-American republics. High officials, Uruguayan Government, do not look with favor upon this plan. Public men are indifferent to it. Newspapers speak unfavorably of it. No organized efforts are being made in support of plan by agencies of the Argentine Republic.
