Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-06-02


1884, it considers il its duty TO resort
TO all means Of a peaceful character
ic find solution OF the international
conflict ~ which both countries are
involved"
Az this point the note requests Of
The United States government "a more
categorical explanation OF its real in
tentions toward Mexico"
To clear the way for such a state
ment, il proposes TO speak the mind
OF the Mexican government with en-
tire frankness and setting aside "all
Z plomatic euphemism" but declaring
II does so hoping that the sensibilities
OF the Washington government will
rot be wounded by It's words
1t recalls protestations Of friendship
by the American government toward
Latin-Amcrican countries and par
ticularly toward Mexico, citing Presi-
dent Wilson's declaration that the
United States did not intend to inter-
fere in the internal affairs Of Mexico
or IN any way to impair its soyer-
!gnty.
These repeated protestations APP
,red, II says, To indicate IAN honest
purpose on the part OF the govern
ment and people OF the United States
not TO war on Mexico.
The Mexican government however,
the note continues, regrets 10 re-
mark that the acts OF the American
military authorities are in absolute
conflict with thea boye statements,
and is constrained to appeal to the
president, the Department OF State,
the senate and the American people
to the end that once for all time the
true political tendency OF the United
States toward Mexico be defined"
Such a definition, 1t says, also is
necessary that Latin America may
appreciate the proper value OF the
protests OF amity and fraternity
which have been made to them during
the many years. The argument re-
cites the Columbus expedition, and
states that although admitting
through Gen. Scott that It's object had
heen accomplished, President Wilson
promise OF withdrawal has not been
complied with. This atatemnet fol-
lows:
Can't Justify Attitude.
The causes OF any internal political
order which may exist not TO with
draw the American troops from Mex
lean territory, however justified they
may appear, cannot justify the above
attitude. but on the contrary, they
aeeentuate the discrepancy between
the protests OF respect to the sover-
eighty of Mexico, and the actual fact
that on account Of reasons OF internal
policy OF the United States a status
should be maintained which is utterly
unjust with regard to the Mexican
republic.
| Conflict between words and deeds
is shown further, the note asserts, by
the refusal of the United States tc
accept limitations as TO the number
OF troops 10 cross the frontier under
any reciprocal agreement or the zone
in which they should operate. The
character Of the Columbus expedition
was such, il adds, as to show distrus
toward Mexico and no effort what
ever toward cooperation with Mex
lean troops
| The clash at Parral Is asserted Ia
have been due 20 the secrecy with
which the American military author
tiles surround their operations.
The Columbus expedition" Il says
has been carried into effect without
any spirit OF harmony but on the con
trary under a spirit OF distfust 81 oul
authorities, as our cooperation wal
not only unsought but We were unin
formed IN regard 20 the military op
trations effected"
Evidence Of Distrust
