understanding Of its obligations and
It's responsibilities, purposed with the
greatest possible spirit Of conciliation
which was III great danger of suffer
| ing serious and transcendental af-
front had another line of conduct been
ADOPTED from that which was taken
unoer the present circumstances.
The strictly secret character of the
negotiations which are still under way
decided the Mexican government ia
withhold until today the publication
as a whole of the correspondence ex-
changed between the two chanceI-
lOrieS.
