IXICi LINE Argentina's Ambassador to United States Urges Meas ure as a Possible Preven tive -of War in America. Buenos Ayres, June 21. ( U. P.) P. S. Naon, Argentine's ambassador to Washington, has proposed the estab lishment of a police zone along the Mexican border to prevent further ban dit raids and as a possible preventa tive of war between the United States and Mexico. At the same time it is stated offi cially that Ambassador Naon has re ceived no specific instructions from Ins foreign office to make peace moves, Argentina adhering to her origi nal policy of hands off, in the Mexican situation. The situation as outlined Tonight is as follows: Argentina, Brazil and Chile, the A. B. C. governments which participated in the mediation conference at Nia gara Falls two years ago, directed their diplomats at Washington to use their own Judgment in suggesting whatever means seem calculated to avert hostilities. They were instructed at the same time, however, to avoid placing the governments formally in the position of offering mediation un less convinced that such an offer would prove acceptable to the 1'nited States. l.'nder such Instructions Ambassa dor Naon is known to have proposed the -"Establishment of a police zone j along the border. The details of his pian are not iuily known here and in fact have been left to his discretion. The United Press has received as surances from the most authoritative source that Argentina will not inter fere in the Mexican situation except upon invitation from the United States. Ambassador Naon possesses the con fidence of the Argentine government to such a great extent that he "has been given a- certain liberty" as it was explained here tonight.
