tDy Special Leased Wire to New Mexicanl
Washington, D. c., March 13.-Pres-
ident Taft pointed out to members of
the foreign relations committee, and
the Texas Congressional delegation at
a conference today that the neutrality
laws of the United States were not
specific enough and is reported to
have said that unless Congress enact

to preserve peace with Mexico. The
President appealed to his callers to
help him preserve peace by prevent
ing neutrality law violations and sug-
gested lat some steps be taken at
once for the enactment of more ade.
Quate measures.
To Prohibit Shipment of Arms.
The conference was a result of the
appeal of President Madero that the
United States put into effect a stricter
neutrality law in Texas. After the
conference the Senate committee on
foreign relations held a meeting and
framed a joint resolution which would
prohibit the shipment of arms from
the United States into any state on
the American continent which is a
condition of disorder
The resolution would impose heavy
penalties, the intuition being to make
