Main Points of the Note
by Carranza Demanding
Withdrawal of Troops

The note Of the Mexican de facto gov
ernment which called forth the reply of
the United States today, an account of
which was published in The Star June 1.
contained these statements:
THE people and the government of
Mexico are absolutely sure that the
American people do not desire war with
Mexico. There are none the less great
American and great Mexican interests
anxious for q conflict between the two
countries. The Mexican government firm
American government. but to this end it
is indispensable that the American gov
ernment explain frankly its true attitude
toward Mexico.
''It is indispensable that this contra
diction between the assurances of
friendship on the part Of Washington
and the acts Of suspicion and distrust
ard aggression on the part of the mill
tary authorities should disappear.
The people and government Of Mex
leo must know what to expect and wish
to be sure that the assurances SO many
times expressed by the government of
the United States correspond really to
its sincere desire for friendship between
should exist not only in the statements,
but which should be crystallized into
acts.
"The Mexican government invites the
government Of the United States to
bring about a cessation of this situa-
countries and to support it's declara-
tions and assurances Of friendship with
real and effective acts which shall con-
vince the Mexican people of the sin
certify Of its proposals. These acts. at
the moment. cannot be other than the
immediate withdrawal of the American
troops which are today on Mexican
territory"
