leo has said to this government In re-
sponse to the proposals was made pub
lie, including the Huerta alternative
that nothing could be welcomed ex-
cept unrestricted recognition of his
government. After he had concluded
his message and listened to the ap-
plause which greeted It, the president
returned to the White House to await
Its effect. He believes that 1t will be
beneficial.
The president In his statement to-
day announced the position Of the
United States to be as follows:
| No armed Intervention.
| Strict neutrality 'forbidding the ex-
portation Of arms or munitions OF war
Of any kind from the United States to
any part Of the republic Of Mexico"
Under no circumstances to be the
partisans Of either party to the con-
test that now distracts Mexico or con-
stitute ourselves the virtual umpire
between them"
To urge all Americans to leave
Mexico at once and to assist them to
get away In every possible way.
TO let every one In Mexico who as
sumes to exercise authority know that
this government shall vigiiantly
watch the fortunes Of those Ameri-
cans who cannot get away and shall
hold those responsible for their suf-
ferings and losses to definite reck-
oning."
"That can and viii be made plain
beyond the possibility OF q misunder-
standing" said the president.
Negotiations for the friendly media
tion Of the United States are open to
resumption at any time upon either
the initiative Of this government or OF
Mexico. t|
The reply Of the Huerta govern
ment rejecting the American propos-
ais written by Foreign Minister Gam
boa suggested the following aIterra-
tive policy for the United States:
} Reception. Of Mexican ambassador

straints. ~ it.s

laws and ''see TO II that no material

Unconditional recognition Of the
Huerta government. ~ bif iB
President Wilson read his instfuc-
tions to John Lind. aisl3ts se{e
"All America cries out f.. q settle
ment, read the note Mr. Lind bore
to Mexico. "a satisfactory settlement
seems to US to be conditioned on:
An immediate cessation OF fighting
throughout Mexico; a definite armis-
tice solemnly entered into and scru-
pulously observed. ta
Security given for an early and
free election In which all will agree to
take part
"The consent OF General Huerta to
bind himself not to be q candidate for
election as president OF the republic
at this election; and 80
THE agreement of all parties to
abide by the results Of the election,
and cooperate In the most loyal way
In organizing and supporting the new
administration" ~.
The president emphatically praised
the execution of his mission by, Mr..
Lind and said he was led to believe
the Huerta government rejected the
American proposals because the au-
thorities at Mexico City had been
grossly misinformed and misled" upon
the matter. and upon a mistaken belief
that the present administration did
not speak for the people Of the United
States. So long as such q mfsunder-
standing continued, the president as-
serted that, this nation could only
await the time Of their awakening to :.
q realization OF the real facts.
