WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-Congress
is expected to decide that the Car
anza revolutionists of Mexico are to
get arms from this side OF the border.
Their request that they be granted
this privilege is already informally
before President Wilson and Secre-
tary Of State Bryan. 1t came through
Henry Allen Tupper. Of the interna-
tional peace forum
Under the rule laid down by the
president neither he nor the secretary

Of the request but 1t will neverthe-
less be discussed and 1t was said to-
day that If the president decides that
granting 1t would promise early peace
! in Mexico he will deliver special
message to congress, dealing with the
matter.
The Tupper request sent from
Nogales. outlines the Caranza policy
as follows: General Caranza makes
only this request--that our govern
ment permit the free importation OF
arms and ammunition into Mexico.
He gives positive assurances under
these circumstances of speedy and
stable constitutional government and
says Intervention would be grave
and disastrous mistake.
