fARRAXZA WOULD BECOME PEACEMAKER FOR WORLD Mexican First Chief Invites Neutrals to Join Him in Stopping War by: Prohibiting Exports of FoodstafrV and Mnnltions to Belligerent >a. | tions. "Washington, Feb. 12.?Revolution-' swept Mexico's defacto government entered the lists as an international peace maker today. With an identic note to all neutrals, it proposed a joint effort to end the European war, to be followed in the event of the fail ure by the cutting off of all exports of munitions and supplies to bellig erents. The communication was handed to the state department hj R. P. Denegri,; charge of the Carranza embassy here, j It was received with expressions of: mingled amusement and gravity in of- j ficial quarters. There had been no J ? * ~ A ? ^ * no >>?? litnori^an UVCiBlUII lUUlfUl. as IU iuy , government'3 response but the pre vailing opinion was that Secretary Lansing would reply promptly and briefly, referring to the futile effort of President 'Wilson to bring about peace and pointing out an embargo on ports would be a breach of neutrality. Among entente diplomats Carran za's action was denounced as addition al evidence of German influence in; Mexico and as another effort to be-! cloud the issue and embarrass the MRS.

Officials of the guvern ment were not bo outspoken in voic ing their opinions but those wnu commented liu'crmahy frankly ex pressed the same view. It became known tonight that a proposal similar to the one now brought forward officially was made at one of the closing sessions of the Mexican-American joint -commissiou which recently attempted to solve bor rliffipn'Jtips VA.W Mexico s exports to Europe are con siderable and of vast importance to the entente allies. Enormous quan tities of oil for the British fleet are drawn from the English owned oil fields on the Mexican coast. The Carranza note, handed to the! state department by R. P. Denegn, charge of the Mexican embassy, eays in part: j Mexleo Would Stop It. "Over two years ago there began! on the old continent the most gigan-, tic armed conflict which history j records, spreading death, desolation1 and misery among the belligerent na-; tions. Thi3 tragic struggle has deeply i wounded the sentiments of humanity of all the countries not taking any participation in the Etruggle and it would not be just or humane that these hations should remain indir ferent before such great disaster. A deep sentiment of human brotherhood therefore obliges the Mexican govern men* to offer its modest cooperation in order to bring about ihe cessation ot the struggle. j "The present European war seems tj the whole world as i great con flagration, as a great plague that ought to have been isolated and limit ed long ago in order to shorten its duration and avoid its extension. "Far from that, the commerce or the neutral countries of the whole world, and practically that of Amer-' ica. has a great responsibility before. history, because all the neutral na tions. more or less, have letn their assistance in money, in provisions, in munitions or in fuel and in this way have fed and prolonged this great conflagration. "By reason of high human morals and for their own national preserva tion the neutral nations are obliges to abandon this procedure and also to refuse to continue lending their assistance that has made possible the continuation of the war for over two years. To this end the Mexican gov ernment, according within most strict respect for the sovereignty of the countries at war, inspired "by the high est sentiments of humanity and guided at the same time by the sentiment of self-conservation and defense, permits itself to propose to the government ot your excellency as it is also doing to the other neutral governments, that, working in mutual accord and prog ressing upon the basis of the most equal basis of both groups of com batant powers, to invite them to put an end to the present war, either by thomsolvoc nr talrirxr urlvanfng'P ("if thf* I UVfll Vl t'.on of all the nations that jointly may accept this invitation. Would Starve Them Ont, "If within a reasonable length ot time peace can not be established by I this means, the neutral countries then j will take :he necessary measures in order to confine the conflagration, to its strict limits, refusing to the bel ligerents all kinds of elements ana i *topp:ng the merchant traffic with the nations of the world until the ena of the war is achieved. "The Mexican government recog nizes that in its proposition it steps aside a little from the principles of in ternational law which until now have j been in rorce, in* me relations ui i neutrals with the belligerents, but we! ought to recognize that the present J European war is a conflict without! any precedent in the history of hu manity, which demands supreme ef fort and new remedies that can not be found within the narrow and some what egotistical limits of internation al law as known up to date. "Tfc Government of Mexico unaer staD lat no neutral nation, power ful as It n*ay be, could by Itself taie a step of thi3 nature and that tho j result of this measure only can bf? i reached witli the cooperation of the J neutral governments possessing the greatest international influence before the belligerent nations. "It pertains especially to tne uniiea^ States, Argentina, Brazil and Chile, In America, and to Spain, Sweden ana Norway in Europe, which are more influential and more at liberty to take a determined stand before the bel ligerents concerned, to foster tiiis ini tiative. which, not because it proceed \ irom 2l nation which ^ui^uacu tv be weak at the present time aim; therefore incapable of an effective in-j ternational effort, is nevertheless j worthy of serious study and minute! consideration.'''
