the deputies and gave also his pro-
gram for the future, 1t was taken by
many diplomats as an obvious reply
to n American suggestion that he
eliminate himself. The Mexican en-
bassy here, which received a copy of
the note, declared in an official state
ment that 1t may be assumed that the
dispatches received represent the att
tude of President Huerta and indi-
cate the nature OF his reply to the in
quiry of the government of the United
states regarding his purposes in view
of the recent presidential elections"
Note an Inconsistency.
White House officials called attnn-
ton to what seemed to them as an in
consistency in the Iiuerta note where
in 1T assumed as valid the election of
congressman which weer held sinful
~taneously with the voting for pres
ident and vice president, to be dcclar-
ed by lluerta null and void.
The purpose of the United States
neither to recognize IIucrta's right to
continue i'm power nor the acts of the
new congress is the essence of what
has ben communicated to the foreign
diplomats by this government. Fu-
turc steps have not ben specifically
outlined. Ii fact, it is understood that
while the policy of the government
has ben to keep foreign nations con
tinually informed, there has been no
direct effort to seek the support OF
the powers to the Amerisan program.
There is no secret, however. OF the
desire of htc United States for the ac-
q~ulcScenCe of the powers in its policy.
The question of exporting arms to
Mexico has raised the point in Off
cial circles of whether the President
by executive authority could let down
the bars or whether action by CON
greSs would be necessary. The Joint
resolution of March Ia, 1912. pro-
hibit exploration of arms and NUM-
'tlonS OF war to countries in Central
and South America where domestic
NN'cto Il sNNH exceptions !
as the President deems ~expedient.
Many persons have suggested to
the President that Il repeal of the joint
resolution will be necessary if the
United States finally decided o grant
arms on an equality to the disputants.
h President told callers he had
present intention of saying any
thing on the Mexican situation and
that he was waiting rather for things
to AXE definite shape as a result of
last weeks doplimatic parleys before
making any move.
Those who have discussed the arms
question with the President say he
seems to be open minded on that
point. while Il month ago he was firm
ly set against it.
Secretary Daniels said tonight the
President had told him there we're not
likely o lie developments in the Mex
lean situation that would Interfere
with the sccrctary's proposed trip to
the Middle West next week.
