American Manufacturers Ready to
Rush Munitions Across Border
Believes Adamson Bill Would
Violate British Treaty.

Washington of the EN-.
barge on arms for the constitutional.
lists as the best possible solution Of
the Mexican trouble, was proposed by
President Wilson to the senate com.
mittee on foreign relations.
AS result, the president may.
within an extremely short time, issue
a proclamation or an order to collec.
tors of customs along the border to
admit guns and ammunition to all
factions in Mexico. He believes that
this will bring quick termination to
the tottering regime of President
Huerta.
Benefit All to Rebels.
In this suggestion the president re-
ceived the support OF most Of the
members OF the committee. 1t was
for this, chiefly, that the president
called the conference.
Theoretically, lifting the embargo
would be as favorable to the Huerta
government as 1t is to the constitu.
tionalists, but actually the control by
the rebels Of every port OF entry on
the American border indicates the de-
termination OF President Wilson to
force the overthrow OF Huerta by
Carranza and villa. The constitution.
alists have all along informed the
state department that admission OF
arms would bring speedy solution
OF the Mexican situation.
The constitutionalists have con,
tracts with American manufacturers
to supply them with arms and am.
munition as soon as the embargo Ia
lifted. When the president acts upon
the suggestion which he made known
to members Of the foreign relations
committee, shipments win immedi.
ately be made to the Mexican border
During the conference the president
made II plain that he believed the
ground taken by this government In
exeInpting American ships engaged in
coastwise trade from the payment Of
tolls for use OF the Panama canal, was
in violation OF the treaty with Greai
Britain.
