WASHINGTON IS
SILENT ABOUT
MEXICAN NOTE
Carranza Is Heard From Again
In Regard 10 the
Differences.
TO GIVE STATEMENT SOON
New Mexican Note Bears Date
of July 11--Expects to Settle
Differences BY a Joint Com
mission OF the TWO Govern
ments.
70 GIVE STATEMENT SOON

WASHINGTON July 21.-State de-
partmont officials today refused to
comment on the statement from MeXi-
co City last night purporting to pre-
sent the text Of 4 note tc the United
States proposing to join commission
settle boraer difficulties. They ad-
nit receiving a note dated July IL
II was learned authoritatively that
the Mexico City text, though substan-
ially similar is no identical with that
presented by Amba ssadu. Arredondo.
The Mexican ambassador saw Act
ing Secretary OF State Polk this morn
ing and intimated that a statembcnt
regarding the preliminary negotia-
tons would be made soon. The gen
Cral impression prevailed that ten
tativc agreement had been reached
along material lines OF the Mexican
proposal Although the scope may
differ somewhat from CarranZa's
note suggestions there seems to be
little doubt that Washington is willing
for commission to take up he ne
gotiation of reciprocal agreement
for the passage Of troops across the
border after bandits and an investiga-
ticn of the interests behind the ban
dts. The situation regarding the sug
gcstion that the commission discuss
the withdrawal of American troops
is not clear.

validity of Great Britain's position by
sending an American ship laden with
goods from the blacklisteG firms to a
neutral port consigned to a neutral,
