VILLA
Makes Plea for Lifting OF Embargo
on Arms as Most Humanitarian
Method of Bringing Peace.

TORREON. Mexico. May "A plea
ior the lifting OF the embargo on arms
as the swtftest and most humanitar-
ian method OF bringing peace 10 Mex
leo was made in an interview today
by General Francisco villa. General
in chief OF the constitutionalists army.
The embargo Is protracting this
struggle uselessly" he said Il hope
the American government under
stands that the placing OF the en-
barge Is interfering seriously with
the plans OF the constitutionalists.
Gomez Palacio. Torreon. san Pedro
de Las Coloniao and even Monterey
were constitutionalist successes due
TO the brief lifting Of the embargo.
Mexico should be pacifed. We can
not gain this end quickly while we
suffer from lack of ammunition"
General villa spoke OF his attitude
toward the United States and Ameri-
cans in event that hostiiities should
ensue between the two countries.
Villas Statement.
I wish" he said. TO make IL clear
TO the people of the United States
that ! am anxious for all Americans
connected with industries in Mexico
to return and again take up their pur
suits. ! wish TO add that the foreign
ers now in Mexico and those who re
turn will have nothing To fear should
IL ever come To war between Mexico
and the United States. and give my
word that everything possible would
be done by me To protect them. Should
they desire to leave the country. in
such an event I would place enough
rolling stock at their disposal To take
them and all their movable property
out OF Mexico"
General villa declared that involv.
ment of his party in war with the
United states was remote possibil-
ity.
