added, because it believes that the
documents are eloquent enough in
themselves.
1T confines itself, therefore, tc
hoping for approval of its acts by the
people whose destinies 1t temporarily
guides, and In recommending the
greatest calm and discretion in order
=, that the decorous and solemn course
of the aforementioned negotiations
may not be hindered.
1T is our purpose in whatever we
do or propose in this perplexing and
distressing situation not only to pay
the most scrupulous regard to the
sovereignty and independence of Mex
ico-that we take as q matter of
course to which we are bound by
every obligation of right and honor
but also to give every possible evil
dence that we act in the interest of
Mexico alone and not In the interest
of any person or body of persons who
may have personal or property claims
In Mexico which they may feel that
they have the right to press. We
are seeking to counsel Mexico for her
own good, and in the interest of her
own peace, and not for any other
purpose whatever. The government
of the United States would deem it
self discredited II 1t had any selfish
or Interior purpose In transactions
other than peace and happiness and
prosperity of a whole people are in
volved 1t is acting out of friendship
for Mexico and not as any selfish in
terest indicates.
"Question Is One for U. =. to Settle"
"As to the course of action suggest
ed by you to be taken by the United
States, | may say that the President
of the United States regards the
question of the recognition of the de
facto government and of any future
government in Mexico as one wholly
for the United States to determine.
In the exercise of its sovereign rights
in this behalf the United States Will
not hesitate to suggest the adoption
by the de facto government of Mex
leo, seeking recognition, especially at
a time of serious domestic disturb
ances, of such course of action as In
the Judgment of the United States
can alone lead to recognition in the
future.
In the present instance the Presi-
dent of the United States sincerely
and ardently believes that the dc
facto government in Mexico will see
In his suggestion the most peaceable
plan for serving the highest inter-
ests of Mexico and insuring the
speedy accomplishment of domestic
tranquility.
In that spirit and in the spirit
voiced in his original instructions
the President of the United States of
America authorizes me to submit for
the consideration of the de facto gov
eminent in Mexico:
First, that the election called for
October 26, 1913, shall be held in ac-
cordance with the constitutional laws
of Mexico.
Asks for Assurances from Huerta.
Second, that President Huerta in
the manner originally indicated by
the President of the United States of
America give the assurances called
for in paragraph &C. of my original
instructions.
Third that the remaining propo-
sitions contained in my original in
structions shall be that they be taken
up later but speedily and resolved as
circumstances permit and in the spirit
of their proposals.
1.-THE President of the United States
of America further authorizes me to
say that if the de facto government
Of Mexico at once acts fayorably
upon the foregoing suggestions then
in that event the President will ex-
press to American bankers and their
associates assurances that the gov
eminent of the United States of
America will look with favor upon
the extension of an immediate loan
sufficient in amount to meet the tenn
porary requirements of the de facto
government of Mexico.
ut only remains for me to renew to
your excellency the assurances of my
high consideration. JOHN LIND,
Personal Representative of the
President of the United States of

Mexico for her own good and with
