 massacre has been brought to justice by Mexican authorities. Villa and the other bandits, the communication continues, still roam at large without molestation, despite repeated and fnsistent demands that military pro; tection should be furnished"
 Saw Villa Run Away
 Creeping closer to the border un- til the Columbus raid on March g, after murdering and plundering, Vil- la and his bandits fleeing south, the note says passed within sight of the Carranzista military post at Casas Grandes and no effort was made to stop him by the officers and garrison of the defactO government stationed there" In the face of these condi- tions, it is pointed out, the United States had no other recourse than to employ it's armed force to disperse ''the band of Mexican outlaws who were with increasing boldness sys- tematically raiding across the inter- national boundary"
 The history of the campaign against bandits by the American punitive eX- petition then is reviewed. In this connection it is contended that the Mexican authorities have not coop erated but have shown marked hos tility as evidenced by the Parral incl dent, when Villa and his bandits were sheltered.
 Answering the charge that the American troops entered Mexico with out permission or with ulterior mo- tives the communication argues that sufficient necessity existed for pro- tection of the Mexican border to au thorize their crossing and that Gen. eral Carranza consented to the ar rangement in principle for pursuit of bandits, but quibbled over the form of the agreement. Treaty arrangements between the two cuntries, it is con tended, provide for sue hagreements Criticisms of the -Obreson con fereDces at Fl Paso are answered with the statement that the Mexican authorities were under misappre- hension concerning the matters dis cussed and that General Scott was not to authorize the withdraw al of the American forces. Carranza refused to ratify the agreement for gradual withdrawal" of the American it is asserted.
 Failed of Promise.
 Mexican authorities have not joined
 ma vigorous pursuit of the bandits even after making assurances of their | good intentions to cooperate, it is | charged.
 Diplomatic exchanges concerning | hese later incidents are reviewed in | which the attention of the de facto | was called to the gravity | ,f the situation. Further discusslo- | ,f the late raids is unnecessary the | note states.
 Infinite Patience of U. s.
 The charge that the United States las not done everything in it's power O continue peaceful relations is flat V denied On tn eother hand, 1t is | declared "the American government | las given every possible encourage nent 10 the de facto government in | he qualification and rehabilitation of Mexico"
 Embargo on arms shipments by | his government is upheld on the ,round that conditions were unstab' md it was not known for what pur- ,ose they were intended.
 Menace to Troops.
 "Candor." it says. "compels us to Idd that the unconcealed hostility l md threats of US of military instead | if aid in running down the bandits, constitutes menace to the safety oi he American troops and to the peace if the border" As long as this condi- ion exists. it says, the United States will not allow the shipment of arms nto Mexico.
 To the charge that rebel sare pro ected an dsheltered on the American tide, the note says all persons con piring to organize or oppose the ,eaceful solution of the questions are peedily brought to justice. This government has sought to keep under political refugees seeking m asylum in this country.
 Al lacts by the United States in connection with pursuit of bandits ave been performed in good faith 1t avs. All efforts, however, have been meantime, conditions oi Inarchy were continually growing yorse." Summarizing the communi- ation says:
 Withdrawal Unreasonable.
 ''It is unreasonable to expect the Jnited States to withdraw its forces rom Mexican territory or to prevent heir entry again when their pres nee is the only check upon further bandit outrages and the only efn- ient means of protecting American ives and homes-safeguards whlch CarranZa though information lily obliged to supply is maniiestiy nable or unwilling to give
