Thanks to this feeling of good will"

General Carranza refused to discuss
the situation as IT relates to the pos
sible action of President Wilson or of
the Latin American nations which Of
the First Chief said. there would be in
corporated in the Constitution of Mexi-
CO all the reforms which now find a
place in the program Of the Constitu-
tionalists. In a large measure, he de-
clared. some of these reforms already
are in operation, and there remains only
their incorporation in the fundamental
laws of the country.
AS to the holding of a presidential
election, General Carranza said that 1t
would take place as soon as the work
OF reconstructing the constitution had
been completed and when the country
was completely at peace.
The de facto Government the First
Chief asserted. will pass law of

another can return If they desire. Such
law Will not be promulgated until the
government is on firm basis. because
among some of the Mexicans now liv-
ing abroad there are those who would
return to conduct agttations and dis
turb labor conditions.
AS for myself personally, I do not
care General Carranza declared. but
do care on account of the governm ent
and the country. The work OF bringing
about the political recontruction OF
carried forward under peaceful condi-
tions. Let those MeXicans who are dis
turbers stay where they are until such
time as the country has constitu-
tion and a government. Then they can
return and work"
