Washington, March 13.-Revolution-
lists, fflibusters and promoters of do
mestic violence in any country of Pan
America may not hope for war sup
plies of any description from the
United States. This principle was
proclaimed today in a concurrent reso-
luton adopted by the senate at the
instance of President Taft and it is
practically certain II will be passed by
the house tomorrow.
Though aimed primarily to meet the
inadequacles of the present neutrality
laws to which the Mexican govern
ment called Taft's attention, the reso-
luton when put into effect will en-
power the president to prohibit at his
discretion, through proclamation, the
expectation of munitions of war to any
country with which the United States
Is at peace.
Anticipating summary action by the
house the war department officials to-
night issued instructions virtually
hating all shipments of arms into
Mexico until the resolution Is declared
effective.
President Taft told the senate
foreign relations committee and the
Texas congressional delegation today
that he required discretionary author
ity to rule upon individual cases, or II
would be difficult to maintain peace
thereafter in Pan America.
Attorney General Wickersharn, Sec
retary of War Stimson, Senator Cul-
lom, Senator Sutherland, Senator Root
Senator Hitchcock and William Alder
Smith of the foreign relations com
mittee, as well as Senator Culberson
heading the Texas delegation In con-
gress, participated in the conference
prior to the senate adopting the reso-
luton.
The president appealed to them t.
help preserve peace by preventing VIC
lations of the neutrality laws along tbs
Mexican border, and suggested tina
some steps be taken at once for th'
nnnetzaent of more adaauate Neutrality
laws

of Ainsworth's Retirement

The manner of Ainsworth's release

tirement. Because OF his many years
of service it was granted by President

told him to inform the house that the
papers related to a matter of military
discipline and executive action which,
by the constitution, is confined exclu-
sively to the president as commander
n-chief of the army, and that the pa
per's transmittal is not to be construed
as recognition of the authority OF

the president a statement of the rea-
sons for his official action in such mat
ters."
