 After declaring willingness to make peace with the Carranza faction, the note as made public tonight by the state department says in part:
 The conventionist government does not see and does not wish to sec, in The substance of the declaration made by his eXcellency, President Wilson. anything more than advice and friendly suggestion to induce the contending groups to wipe out their differences and lead them into a path to the end pursued by the revolution. Coming to The declaration that if we MeNicans cannot settle our differences within very short time the government of the American union will find itself con- strained to decide as to what means 1t shall use tn bring il about, the conven- tionISt government cannot understand how the president previously declares in tne same note that the United States does not desire or claim any right to settle the affairs of Mexico and more to the same effect"
 The chief of the American nation made at Indianapolis the following categorical decIara tion:
 T am proud to belong to power ful nation which says that a country 6AIexico) which We could crush will enjoy the same liberty in the man agement of it's affairs as We enjoy. If I were strong I would be ashamed to dictate to the weak in the meas ure of my strength. My pride con- sists in keeping my strength free and not in expressing another people ith it.
 If contrary to the interpretation N hich in a most friendly sense the conventionist government puts upon Wilson's declaration. this closing part should signify a denial of the in stinctive sympathy generously dem oIstrated to the Mexican revolution, and further signify pressure or threat, the conventionist government still harboring 9 conscience of it's sacrifices. will maintain the dignity of the Mexican people. We continue, however. to conjecture that the gen eral idea of the government of the United States is t0 help Us in a gen. eral way to bring to an end our fratricidal struggle which would be for the greatest good of the country. ! The government is ready to bring i about by all means, consistent with its dignity. a fusion of all the con tending groups, to initiate all eco homie. political and social reforms aimed at by the revolution and to establish a strong stable government with which all tendencies of all legitimate interests will find fullest favor and enjoy the guarantees our fundamental law provides
