EMBARGO

Washington, Feb. 3.-President
Wilson, by an executive order issued
today and made public at the White
House tonight, has removed all re-
strictions against the expectation of
munitions of war into Mexico from
the United States, placing the con-
tending elements on a basis of equal
ity respecting the purchase of arms
and supplies in this country. +"
The executive order emphasized
that it was the desire of the United
States to be in the same position of
neutrality toward the contendine
factions in Mexico as other powers.
The proclamation stated that the
embargo was lifted because condi-
tions had essentially changed
since March, 1912. when President
Taft placed the restrictions on the
expectation of arms and it was "as
desirable to place the United States,
with reference to the expectation of
arms or munitions of war to Mexico,
in the same position as the other
powers"
