D|Az may renew APPEAL
Probable Application for Dec.
Iaration of Neutrality by
United States.

The application of Diaz to Ambas-
sador Wilson for recognition of his bel
ligerency. though disposed of for the
moment by Mr.. Wilson's waiver of the
question, probably soon will be brought
before the State Department. presuming
that the military status of the two fac
tions in Mexico continues substantially
unchanged.
1t is beyond the power OF an ambas-
sador, even if he so desires. TO grant
such an application, as any action re-
quired to be taken would be in Wash
ington. and by the President Of the
United States himself.
Evening star., 1913-02-14
What He Really. Desires.

Probably what Gen. Diaz desires to
secure is full political recognition OF
his status. such as can be secured only
by the issue Of President Taft of neu-
trality proclamation. for as a matter OF
fact this is the only manner. though in
direct, in which 'beligerency can be
recognized.
Aside from the moral effect of such
a proclamation. about the only sub
stantial benefit that could be derived
from it's issue by an insurgent leader
would be to insure the absolute
neutrality Of the United States govern
ment and prevent the shipment OF any
more arms or munitions of war to the
Madero government.
