of New Mexico. 1t was learned today.
The first resolution was introduced by
him many weeks ago. calling for in
formation from the State Department in
regard to the number of Americans
killed. injured or imprisoned in Mexico.
and for information regarding American
property damaged in Mexico. This reso-
luton has been allowed TO slumber In
the office of the foreign relations COM
mittee ever since its introduction.
The second resolution is that which
proclaims the right of protection for
American citizens. under the Constitu-
ton and international law, wherever
they may be. 1t is in reality the Ian
guage of a plank in the democratic plat
form adopted at Baltimore last summer.
This is the resolution which was the sub
Jest of several hours heated debate In
the Senate about two weeks ago.
Against Aiming Mexicans.
There has been a strong desire In some
quarters that the embargo against ship
ment OF arms into Mexico from this
country be raised, with the idea that
then both parties in Mexico will be able
fully to arm themselves and fight their
battles 10 finish. and relieve this coun-
try of a great deal OF trouble. But one
of the senators said today that he be-
lieyed. and some of his colleagues be-
lieve, that while there was any chance of
this country's being called upon to in
tervene in Mexico 1t would be unwise to
permit the shipment of great quantities
of arms into that country. when these
arms might eventually be turned against
the United States.
While there is still strong senti
ment among many of the senator's
recognition Of the Huerta government.
or even the raising of the embargo
against shipment of arms from this
country into Mexico. there Is a very
country with regard to Mexico should
be strengthened. In interviews and
in resolutions presented to the Senate
during the last few days this desire
to take some definite action and to lay
aside the policy Of delay which has
prevailed so far has been manifested.
Recognition Not Favored.
When Ambassador Wilson was on his
way to this city from Mexico to lay
before the administration his views Of
the situation in Mexico the senatorial
leaders said that the Senate must wait
until the ambassador had thrown what
light he could on conditions across the
border.
The ambassador has now given his
Secretary of State Bryan. and to the for
eign relations committee of the Senate.
In brief. his recommendation was recog-
milton of the Huerta government. with
many conditions.
This advice has not met with favor. 1t
Is said, at the White House, or with the
majority members of the Senate commit
tee, though many Of the senators have
been impressed with the statement OF the
ambassador. some OF them going so far
as to say that either conditional recogni-
ton of the Huerta government or inter-
vention must be the part played by this
country.
It is stated in Washington today that
news Is momentarily expected from Mex
