rama still insists that the FIRST thing
to be decided by the United States
and Mexico is the withdrawal Of the
American troops. Mexican Ambassa-
dor Arredondo today delivered to Act
ing Secretary Of State Polk 4 note.
which. while naming a commission
and taci1y accepting the latest Amer
lican PROPOSAL for joint commission
TO investigate Mexican-American re-
lations, laid stress upon the fact that
the Mexican commissioners are to de-
vote their attention preferably to
the resolution OF the points mention
ed in the previous note Of this depart
ment.
The points referred to are the ques-
Itions OF withdrawal of United States
troops from Mexican soil. border pa
troll and fixing Of responsibility foi
border raids.
Washington officials agreed that
Carranza in this manner is indicating
his intention to urge these questions
ahead OF all others.
No specific mention is made Of any
broader issues to be discussed, al
though the last United States note
particularly pointed out that the ad'
Iministration desires to go into q
larger discussion Of the Mexican prob
lem than the purely military phase
No doubt has yet been expressed
however. by state department officials
that the Mexican conferees will show
willingness to take up questions Of
Mexican finances and industrial de-
velopment. On the other hand. the
note implies that the commissioners
will follow whatever lead is made by
American members. as they have beer
instructed to devote their attention
preferably to the military problem.
