The White House statement was is
sued to inform General Carranza that
the United States could not recognize
him or seek reparation from him as
he requested, but must deal with the
authorities in control of the territory
where offenses we're committed. This
has been the consistent course of the
present Washington government.
President Wilson's comment on the
Carranza statement follows: 81 wish
to reiterate with the greatest earnest
ness the desire and intention of this
government to respect in every pos
sible way the sovereignty and indie
pendence of Mexico
"The feeling and intention of the
government in this matter are not
based upon politics. They go much
deeper than that They are based upon
q genuine friendship for the Mexican
people and profound interest in the
re-establishment of their constitution
al system.
Whatever unhappy circumstances
or necessities may arise, this object
will be held steadily in view and pur-
sued with consistent purpose, so far
as this government is concerned.
But we are dealing with facts.
Wherever and whenever the dignity
of the United States is flouted, it's
International rights or the rights of
Its citizens invaded, or it's influence
rebuffed where it has the right to at
tempt to exercise it, this government
must deal with those actually in con-
troll
No State of War With Mexico.
"It is now dealing with General
Huerta in the territory he now con-
trolls. That he does not rightfully
control it does not alter the fact that
he does control it. We are dealing,
moreover, only with those whom he
commands and those who come to his
support. With these we must deal.
They do not lawfully represent the
people of Mexico In that fact we re-
joice, because our quarrel is not with
the Mexican people, and we do not
desire to dictate their affairs. But
we must enforce our rightful demands
upon those whom the existing authori-
ties at the place where we act do, for
the time being, represent"

private advices from the City Of Mex
leo stating that General Huerta had
accepted the offer Of Argentina, Brazil
and Chile to use their good offices to
bring about an amicable settlement of
the difficulty between the United
States and Mexico.
This information, though unofficial,
was accepted as authentic by the am
bassador
President Wilson's acceptance of
tie good offices of Brazil, Argentina
and Chile to compose the Mexican
conflict has centered the attention of
international authorities on just what
the procedure will be and what good
offices" are under the practice of ma
tions.
The tender Of the South American
ENJOYS speaks of good offices and the
reply of the United States govern
ment makes reference to intermedia-
tion.
John Bassett Moore, former counsel
IOr of the state department, and an
authority on international law points,
points out a distinction between the
case of good offices and mediation,
and says:
"The demand of good offices or
their acceptance does not confer the
right of mediating."
John Hays Interpolation.
John Hay, when secretary Of state,
said:
"The phrase good offices, being
somewhat elastic, should be confined
to two contingencies In its first
sense it corresponds to the French
term 'officioux.' In its second sense
1t is allied to arbitral intermediation
as an impartial adviser of the parties,
and not only implies but requires the
assent of both parties, and oftener a
spontaneous invitation from each"
The Hague convention uses the two
terms good offices and mediation in
terchangeably. The Hague provisions
follow:
Article 2. In case of serious dis
agreement or conflict, before an ap-
peal to arms, the signatory powers
agree to have recourse as far as cir
cumstances allow to the good offices
or mediation of one or more friendly
powers.
Article 8. Independently of this re-
course, the signatory powers recon-
mend that one or more powers, strang-
ers to the dispute, should, on their
own initiative and as far as circum-
stances may allow, offer their good
offices, or mediation, to the states at
variance.
Powers strangers to the dispute
have the right to offer their good of
fices or mediation even during the
course of hostilities.
Mobilization Need Not Stop.
The Hague convention also provides
that "the acceptance of mediation can
not, unless there be agreement to the
contrary, have the effort of interrupt
ing, delaying or hindering mobiliza-
ton or other measures of preparation
for war.
'If mediation occurs after the com
mencement of hostilities it causes no
interruption to the military operations
in progress, unless there may be an
agreement to the contrary"
Most of the precedents of good of.
fices and mediation are those in which
established governments are concern
ed and to what extent the practice
would apply to a de facto government
is not clear
One of the precedents on good Of
fices was during the Cleveland admin
istration and involved Mexico. At that
time Secretary Bayard rendered to
Mexico the good offices of the United
States in settling the conflict between
Mexico and Guatemala.

Professor Garner quotes these significant
statistics; In 1901. the number OF births In
France was 10000 By 1895 The number had
fallen 10 927y 900. In 1875 Il was $4,000: I'm 1896
$1,000; in 1901. 'S5T.1i4. and In 1911. 74211A
In 1897 tho number Of births exceeded tho
