Saws Ranen Corral.
TAFT ISSUES A REPLY
Ambassador Wilson Directed to In
quire Of Mexican Government
Whether Statements Of Vice Presi-
dent Rejecting on United States
Policy are Authentic. !

In an official statement issued Fra
day the state department takes de-
cided exception to an interview ac-
credited to Ramon Corral, vice presi-
dent Of Mexico, and published in the
Diario OF Mexico City, in which that
official charges that the Mexican rev.
olution is being formented by Amer
leans with view to forcing interven-
ton.
''The department of state finds it
very difficult to credit the authentici-
ty Of such an interview purporting to
come from high official of the Mexi-
can government the statement says,
because the efforts made to enforce
the neutrality laws and the disinter-
ested friendship of the United States
for Mexico and Mexican people are
as we'll known to the Mexican gov
ernment as they are fully understood
in the United States.
"The department of state has
made every effort to prevent any
harmful misunderstanding and there
can be no doubt that the Mexican
foreign Office Will take prompt steps
to repudiate and prevent the promul-
cation Of any such statement calucu-
lated so seriously to disturb the mu-
tual confidence and friendly good un-
derstanding between the two peo-
ples.'
The reported declaration of Ramon
Corral, Vice President of Mexico,
that Americans were fermenting
trouble in his country in order t2
force Intervention, has earned the
disfavor of the United States Gov
ernment. The State department has
called the matter to the attention Of
Mexico in order to. establish official
ly whether the interview with the
Vice President, in which the state
ment excepted to are reported to
have been made, were authentic as
published in Mexico City.
The question was taken up By AM.
oassador Wilson, at Mexico City, to
whom the department telegraphed a
copy Of an official statement, which
it had issued, unequivocally disap-.
proving the alleged utterance The
statement expresses the confident be-
lief of the department that the Mex
lean foreign Office will promptly RS
pudiate and prevent the promulga-
ton of any such stateme ents, calcu-
lated so seriously to distruo the mu-
tual confidence and friendly good un-
derstanding between the two peo.
pies"
A dispatch from Mexico City says
"the statement attributed to Mr.. Cor
raj are so at variance with the facts
and so uncomfortable as originating
from person occupying the high
and representative onice Of Vice Pres
ident of great nation, holding
friendly relations with the United
States, that comment of a critical
nature should be reserved
In this manner Ambassador Will
N commented tonight upon the
interview with Vice President Corral,
which is printed in Ell Perial. In
diplomatic end official circles the dis
position to discredit the interview
were general.
Il am sure this view is not shared
by other officials Of the Mexican Gov
eminent" continued Ambassador
Wilson. "It is, perhaps, true that
the neutrality laws of the United
States need amplifcation and amend
ment, but, as they exist on the stat
ute books, they have been enforced
and even strained to meet the repre-
sentation of the Mexican Govern
ment relating to conditions ~on the
frontier"
