AT CALL OF HUERTA.
lie Declares That He is Determined to
Pacify the Country and Will Sacri-
flee Himself if Necessary to Carry
Out His Policy.

Mexico City, April 1.-"Before
leaving these precincts I must en-
grave upon your hearts that it is my
purpose, as l have said before to the
national congress, to achieve the
peace of the country. and if to do so
your sacrifice and mine shall be in
dispensable, you and l will know how
to sacrifice ourselves This is my
purpose, or, what is the same thing,
my profession of political faith"
With this statement President
Huerta ended his message to con-
gress, which convened tonight. The
document otherwise was devoid of
sensational statements or dramatic
effect. Throughout the reading neither
members nor those in the gallery in
terrupted with applause. Just before
his closing words the president paused
and surveyed the house, which be-
came unusually silent. He pointed
his finger as he impressed upon the
congress his profession Of political
faith" Then came applause with
cries of viva Huerta."
In this message President Huerta
said he refrained from extensive men
ton OF international relations, al
though he commented with bitter
ness on the difficulties the Mexican
government had encountered In OBJ
tanning money, ow ing to the influence
exercised by the strange attitude OF a
certain power towards Mexico"
The only direct reference to the
United States was in review Of the
work done by the foreign office when
he said:
referring to the department of
foreign relations, must tell you that
the government Of the republic has
earnestly endeavored to develop a
Just nationalistic policy, which far
from inJuring our international rela-
tions. has resulted in making them
the most cordial possible with the
chief power of the world.
Some OF the American States have
not yet recognized the constitutional
government ad interim Of the re-
public, but the greater number OF
tncm keep in Mexico diplomatic
representatives and 10 one of
them has interrupted relations with
the republic. The United States has
been so good as to invite, through his
