THE executive order under which the
expectation of arms and ammunition
into Mexico is forbidden was a de-
parture from the accepted practices
OF neutrality deliberate departure
from those practices under a well con-
Sidered joint resolution of congress
determined upon in circumstances
which have now ceased to exist. 1t
was intended TO discourage incipient
revolts against the regularly cOnsti-
tuted authorities of Mexico.
since that order was issued. the
circumstances of the case have I'M
L
now no constitutional government in
Mexico; and the existence Of this or
der hinders and delays the very thing
the government Of the United States
is now insisting upon: namely. that
Mexico shall be left free TO settle her
own affairs and as soon as possible
put them upon constitutional foot
ing by her own force and counsel. The
order is. therefore. resCinded."

shape of anti-Cnited States riots is
firmly believed. In this event il is
predicted that Charge d'Affaires

drawn or will be transferred 10 Vera
