The publication OF this statement
was unexpected by the American del
egates When they learned of 1t their
attitude was that the Huerta delegates
were acting entirely within their own
rights when they criticised the Ameri-
ran plan for the establishment of a
provisional government In cOrnmu-
nicntfOn addressed to the Americans
themselves, but they were greatly sur
prised by the Mexican uelegatec' action
In giving II out.
Justice Lamar and Mr.. Lehman read
the statement issued by the Mexican
delegation and determined to make
public their reply. This will he CIV
ell out tomorrow.
The Mexican statement outlines the
substance OF meorandum dated June
-. which tho Huerta delegates gave
to the American delegatee and to
which the latter cince have replied
The preface Of the statement ov-
planned publication tonight was made
because knowledge of the criticism al
ready had reached representatives of
the prese. Continuing the statement
follows:
There is certainly no reason for
further concealment OF the differences
that lave arisen between the Mexican
and the 3,American delegations, to
which the press has already referred,
over the provisional, government for

It's own accord, and without even con-

In country unused to electoral

would turn the elections as 1t wish
ed: the public vote would be raIsi-
fled and the result would necessarily

ist. Consequently Wien the Washing
ton government Insists today on the
designation OF q cOnstitutionalist as
provisional president, It favors also
from today tho the Imposition of
revolutionary president at the cleo
tions. Such an attitude Is bad for
both countries and for the chief or
the revolution ,(who will doubtless al-
80 be candidnte;) bad for the two
countries. because 1t will create ma
tionel sentiment OF hostilities In the
Mexican people, when similar sym

and the United States should be striv-

party because .a4blic, opinion In NC &
