They argue that if this could be accomplished it would greatly strengthen Carranza's position with

The opinion is given out that Carranza wishes to act favorably on the request. but that he is compelled to negotiate because of the delicate internal situation in his own country, which must be handled with the great est care, as false word or step would start a blaze which could only end by considerable blood being shed. The use of the Mexican railroads by the American troops, unless fully un- derstood by the people, might cause the downfall of the Carranza govern ment, which is far from being stable at present.
