Washington, July 23.-President
Wilson has determined that no fac
ton in the present Mexican revolution
shall obtain arms or ammunition from
the United States and that neutrali-
ty must be observed in it's strictest
sense. This was the Interpretation of
the neutrality laws decided upon by
the President. today, after conferences
with Senator Bacon and Rep. Flood,
chairman of the Congressional COM
mittees on foreign relations. While
the Mexican rebels have been getting
no arms heretofore, today's develop
ments mean that the Huerta admin
istration will be deprived of the privi-
lege previously accorded the Madero
government and the United States
will treat all sides alike In the present
dispute.
The situation was precipitated by
the repeated complaints Of the Con-
stitutionalists and their sympathizers
in this country. that If the United
States did not virtually assist the
Huerta government by selling 1t
munitions of war a termination of
hostilities would be possible. Senti-
ment in favor of a new policy grew
in Congress to such an extent that,
today, canvass was made of the
foreign relations committees in both
houses. 1t found that there would be
little objection to repeating the joint
resolution of March IA, 1912, giving
the President discretionary power to
prohibit expectation Of arms or NUM-
tons of war to countries where
domestic violence existed, but per-
hitting him to allow the legally con-
stituted government Of any country
to buy war supplies as usual.
Senator Bacon, however, reiterated
that the Huerta administration could
not be considered legitimate sue
cessor of the Madero regime or le-
gally constituted government.
