pressed the view that the Huerta gov
ernment was able to procure ammuni-
ton with ease from abroad. They did
not contend that the Japanese govern
ment was directly concerned, but de-
clared that ammunition had been
bought of Japanese commercial
houses.
1t was stated that the subject was
discussed incidentally in connection
with the argument that the constitu--

the present struggle without ports of
