NO ARMS FOR MEXICO.
SHIPMENT Ol Ml MTIONS FROM
UNITED ST VI ES I'ltOIIIHl'l ED.
Huerta <i'?\? rnni' iM Placed on Same
l ooting as the Constitutionalists
finil It i> Hoped Therebj to Bring
tin End to Hostilities.
Washington, July i1::. -President
Wilson ha determined that no fa<
ti<?n hi the present Mexican rev
Hon shall obtain arms or annnuni,. .
from the United States and th;<t neu
tralitv must be observed in its Btrict
est sense. This was the Interpreta?
tion of the neutrality laws decided
upon by the president today after
conferences with Senator Bacon ami
tteprescntalve Flood, chairman of the
tw.ngresslonal committees on for?
eign relations.
Wliile the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, today's
development means that the Huerta
administration will he deprived of the
Privileg?? previously accorded the Ma?
den? government ami that the United
States will treat all sides alike in the
present dispute.
The situation was pre<ipitaed by
the repeated complaints of constitu?
tionalists ami their sympathisers hi
this country that if the United states
did not vitally assist the Huerta gov?
ernment by Helling it munitions of
war, a termination of hostilities would
be possible. Sentiment in favor of a
new policy grew in congress to sm-h
extent that today a canvass was made
of tile committees in both houses deal?
ing with foreign relations.
It was found there would he little
i objection to repealing the joint reso?
lution of March 14, 1912, which gives
the president discretlonsry power to
prohibit exportation! of arms or mu?
nitions of war to countries where do
' mestic violence existed, hut permits
him to allow the legally constituted
governn enl of any country to buy
j war supplies as usual. Senator Bacon,
however, reiterated as he left the
W hite House today that the Huerta
administration could not be consid?
ered as the legitimate successor of the
j Madero regime or a legally constl
t uted government.
The constitutionalists representa?
tives here had protested to the state
department that inasmuch as the
Huerta government had not been rec
I ognlzed it ought not to obtain arms.
This construction of the < ose found
j favor in official circles, and while the
(repeal of the resolution of March H,
1912, was considered by administra?
tion officials as one way of equalising
! conditions, it was decided that the
; same purpose could be observed by
denying ammunition to all factions.
There nevertheless is a llrm feeling in
congress* In favor of lifting the em?
bargo on arms and giving both sides
ati equal opportunity to equip them?
selves. This sentiment finds favor es
pec ially among those who believe that
the Carranza rebels have public opin?
ion behind them In Mexico and if
given the aims with which to supply
their large unequipped forces, tin
revolution would end speedily In
their favor.
For tin- present, however, the ad?
ministration will issue orders to its
agents everywhere to keep arms from
i entering the rebellion-torn country.
' This will interfere materially with the
plans of the Huerta forces, since or?
ders for largo supplies of aims and
I ammunition are said t<> hav e been
I placd reeentl) with firms in the Unit
I ed States.
j Although the constitutionalists hold
i no seaports of consequence, they have
! demoralized the railroad systems, and
) it would be difficult for the federals
I to get munitions transported Into the
j interior after importing them from
j Kurnpe.
Tho president canvassed other
I phases of the Mexican situation with
Messrs. Bacon and Flood, who said
! later that no action of any kind oi
? pronouncement of policy was likely
I until after Ambassador Wilson had
conferred with administration oili
cials here.
