McxiCO'S Rejection of the
Peace Proposals of the y. S.

willing to act in the most disinterested
friendship, it will be difficult for it
to find a more prOpituOus opportunity
than the following,
IF it would only watch that no
material and monetary assistance is
given to rebels who cOnspirc and pro-
vide themselves with arms and food
on the other side of the border; if it
should demand from its minor and
local authorities the strictest Observ-
ance of the neutrality laws, ] assure
you, Mr.. Confidential Agent. that the
complete pacificatiOn of this republic
would be accomplished within a rela-
lively short time.
His eXcellency, Mr. Wilson, is la
boring under serious delusion when
he declares that the present situation
Of Mexico is Incompatible with the
compliance Of her international obli
cations, with the development of its
own civilization and with the required
maintenance of certain political and
economical conditions tolerable in
Central America. Strongly backing
that there is mistake, because TO
this date no charge has been made
by any foreign government accusing
US of the above lack Of compliance,
credits; we are still maintaining dip
lomatic missions. cordially accepted in
almost all countries, and we continue
to be invited to all kinds of interna-
tional conferences"
Senor Gamboa says a contract has
been signed with Belgian capitalists
which means to Mexico the COnStruc-
ton of about 5000 kilometers of rail-
way. Continuing. he declares:
"In one thing ! do not agree with
YOU, Mr.. Confidential Agent, and it
is that the whole Of America is clam
oring for a prompt solution of our
disturbances"
Saying that Mexico cannot take into
con sideration the four conditions
which President Wilson proposed,
Senior Gamboa cites these reasons
therefor:
IAN immediate suspension OF the
struggle In Mexico, definite armis-
tice solemnly constructed and scrup-
ulously observed Is not possible, as
to do this it would be necessary that
there should be some one capable OF
proposing IL, without causing a pro-
found offense to civilization. to the
many bandits who under this or that
pretext are marauding toward the
south and committing the most out
rageous depredations: and ! know of
no country in the world which may
have ever dared to enter into agree
ment or to propose an armistice to
individuals. who, perhaps on account
of psychological accident. can be
found all over the world beyond the
pale of divine and human laws. Ban
dts, Mr.. Confidential Agent, are not
admitted to armistice; the first ac-
ton against them is one Of correc-
tion. and when this unfortunately
fails their lives must be severed for
the sake of the biological fundamen-
tai and principle, the useful sprouts
should grow and fructify.
with reference 10 the rebels who
style themselves Constitutionalists,'
what could there be more gratifying
to US than If, convinced OF the preci-
pice to which we are being dragged
by the resentment of their defeat in
a moment Of reaction. they would de-
pose their rancOr and add their
strength to ours. so that all together
we would undertake the great and
urgent task of national reconstruc-
tion? Unfortunately. they don't avail
themselves of the amnesty law en-
acted by the provisional government
