MEXICO DESIRES
[continued From Page onel

[continued From Page onel
to say to your excellency that the
immediate release of the Carrizal
prisoners was further proof of the
sincerity of the desires of this gov,
eminent to reach pacific and salts
factory arrangement of present diff
culties. This government is anxious
to solve the present conflict and il
would be unjust if its attitude would
be misinterpreted.
ut was also the Mexican govern.
ment that earnestly suggested a plan
for conferences along the boundary
line. This government is disposed
now, as it has always been, to seek an
immediate solution of the two points
which constitute the true causes of the
conflict between the two countries, to-
wit: The American government be,
lieves reasonably that the insecurity
OF It's frontiers is source Of difficulty
and the Mexican government on its
part believes that the stay of Ameri-
can troops on Mexican territory aside
from being trespass on the sover-
ignty OF Mexico, is the immediate
cause OF the cOnfliction.
Brings Up Withdrawal
Therefore, the withdrawal of the
American troops on the one hand, and
the protection of the frontier on the
other are the two essential problems,
the solution of which must be the
directing object of the efforts of both
governments.
Inc Mexican government is will
Ing to consider in a quick and prac-
tlcal way and prompted by spirit of
concord the remedies which should be
applied to the present situation.
Offer Friendly Services.
Several Latin-American countries
have offered the friendly mediation
to the Mexican government and the
latter has accepted it in principle.
Therefore the Mexican government
only awaits information that the gov
eminent of the United States would
be disposed to accept this media ton
for the purpose mentioned above or
whether it is still of the belief that the
same results may be attained by
means Of direct negotiations between
both government
In the mean time, this government
proposes to employ all efforts that
may be at its disposal to avoid the
recurrence of new incidents which
may complicate and aggrayate the sit
uation
At the same time it hopes that the
American government on its part may
use all efforts to prevent also that
new acts of its military and civil au-
thorities of the frontier may cause
new complications. Signed:

is believed, escaped serious harm,
and in many places were not in
