u. S. POLICY PUZZLES
VERA CRUZ PAPER
Calls Unprotected Landing OF
Arms for Huerta Dark
Page in History
By ARTHUR RuHl.

Vera Cruz, May 2S.-"Of all the In
exnlicable acts or lack of action on the
mart OF the American administration.
this latest inconsistency is the hardest
TO understand" says THE Mexican
Herald" editorially to-day. Armed
forces Of the United States were or
dered to land last month in Vera Cruz
10 seize the custom house and prevent
this shipment Of German arms and am
munition from reaching the Huerta
government. This act brought about a
conflict which resulted in the death OF
nineteen Americans and the wounding
OF several times that number.
I'VE were at a loss at the time TO
Justify the step unless the United
States was prepared to proceed
promptly with complete Intervention.
Since the negative policy of inaction
has slumped to a passive contempla-
ton OF the very act we fought to pre-
vent but few short weeks ago. we can
only exclaim with the chorus OF out
ragged Americans, What are we COM
ing tor
IF all the bloodshed and loss Of life
here in Vera Cruz was caused for no
greater service than the delay Of a
month in unloading the Ypiranga's
cargo Of arms and ammunition, a dark
page must be written in American his
tory that will place the responsibility
for what to-day appears to be nothing
short Of crime"
The consignment of arms on the Ypi-
ranga is said TO have consisted OF To-
100000 rounds OF ammunition. 10000
rifles, 40 cannons and between 80 and
100 machine guns.
The Americans have only sixteen field
guns here, and army officers say that
there were more machine guns on the
Ypiranga than the American army has
in active service in the entire world,
and these are scattered all the way
from Mexico to the Philippines.

the United States intervenes II Will be a
bad thing. for then we would have to
have further and greater wars and suf-
ferine in Mexico"
Mr.. Cabrera denied last night that he
had any intention of becoming a candi-
date for President of Mexico.
IF the United States and Huerta agree
on a government for Mexico that does not
give the Constitutonalsts control. we
would be forced to refuse the PROPOSE
ton" said Francisco Urquidi, spokesman
for the Constitutionalists in New York.
I'VE would be sorry to lose our best
friend, Mr.. Wilson, and the friendship OF
the United States, but If it must be so,
then that is all there is to II.
NO matter who oppose US. we must go
to Mexico City and take control of the
country. That is our duty; that is what
1000 men have already given their lives
in this revolution to accomplish.
Mr. Urquidi acted as II stunned when
told the news Of the landing Of arms and
ammunition for Huerta had been con-
firmed. Il do not believe It :" he cried
1T is not possible. We have some one in
Puerto Mexico who would have told US
I think it is ruse OF the Federals to
make US believe they are strong.
Would the machine guns and ammu-
milton landed for Huerta change the stu
alton much?" Urquidi was asked.
ut would make It tremendously harder
for U.S." he answered. But do not be-
lieve ii. Remember. the Kronprinzessen
Cecile was supposed to have landed =
munition, and il was later found to be
untrue.
IF II Is true it constitutes a most I'M
friendly act on the part Of the German
government. They must see the import
ance Of landing ammunition at this mo-
ment
LAS to the Japanese sending Huerta
ammunition. know that can not be true.
l am not at liberty to tell you why l
know. but there is a reason why that
story can not be true. The position OF
the Constitutionalists with regard to ia
pan is well defined.
"Our duty. whether mistaken or not, is
TO take Mexico City, no matter who is
trying TO prevent US. We must accom-
plish this at any price, and We are pre-
pared 10 pay the price in lives to do IT,
When We are in control, then we will deal
with other governments. but not until
then"
Would the Constitutionalists fight the
United States IL President Wilson should
oppose Carranza's advance on Mexico
City?" Urquldi was asked.
I'VE would do our duty to DEATH" he
replied.
"And that is?"
ITO take Mexico City"

A side light on the linguistic DIM

SHOULD HAVE TAKEN
PART IN MEDIATION
Cabrera, in Talk at Y. M. c. A.,
Tells of Land Problem of
Mexican People.

THE Constituencies now see II was
a blunder not to take part in the mediation
programme when they were invited"
said Louis Cabrera, former member Of
Madero's cabinet, speaking at the Twen-
ty-third st. branch OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
last night. r. c. Benavides, of Mexico
CITY. was scheduled to talk on Mexican
affairs, but on the arrival OF Cabrera,
who is the personal representative OF
General Carranza, gave way TO him.
"The invitation to US from the United
States was a recognition Of our forces as
belligerents and placed us on the same
footing as the de facto government
"As things are turning out now there Is
possibility of agreement between the
medlators 1t would be a bad thing In.
deed for the Constitutionalists II the
United States and Huerta should agree
on certain conditions for a programme OF
government and pacihcation In Mexico.
"Our reasons for refusing to enter into
the mediation seemed good at the time
General Carranza did not want 10 discuss
the inside policies OF Mexico and the
standing Of the country with any outside
government. This was just as natural as
that the United States should not want
her private affairs laid open and dis
cussed by Germany. France and England.
AT the beginning there was no set pro-
gramme for discussion among the media
tors; things were not clearly stated. Part
of the discussion we knew was to be on
the elimination of Huerta. This we
thought we could accomplish ourselves.
This fight in Mexico is primarily a
question of land. The people must have
land; that Is admitted. They would
rather die than not have land. But the
land question is not OF such singleness
that II can be settled in a word by media
ton. There can be no single land policy,
because every different part OF -Iexico
presents a different problem. The dis
tribution makes the problem one that can
be settled only BY Mexicans, who under
stand the country.
villa and CarranZa understand the
people, particularly villa. who is OF the
people. 1t is the Constitutionalists who
must settle the problems OF Mexico. II
