The possibility OF President wilson

The copper stocks were in good

CARRANZA'S
PLAN REJECTED
Mexican Asked That Embargo Be
Paced on All Shipments to the
Allies From the
NeutraIs.

limited Press Leased Wire Service]
WASHINGTON, March 20.-While
rejecting General Carranza's peace
plan and proposal for an embargo on
: shipments to the allies, President Will
son, in hts note to Mexico, made pub
lie today, renews his suggestion for
cooperation among neutrals for halt
ing the war.
1.-THE president regrets that how
ever desrous he may be for co-operat-
ing with General Carranza," says the
note. 'in finding solution OF the
world problem that is intruding 1t
self upon all countries, he Is unable
at the present time to direct his en-
ergies toward the accomplishment OF
the lofty purposes of the president
elect (of Mexico) in the way sug-
gested by his proposals"
The president would not be under
stood, however, as desiring to I'M
pede the progress of movement
leading to the resumption of peaceful
relations between all of the belliger-
ents and would not, therefore, wish
the Mexican government to feel that
his inability to act in the present state
Of affairs should in any way initiate
against the attainment of the high
tutftlS Oh GeueTal CdTIduZd ny thc w
operation OF other neutral govern
ments in the use Of their good offices
and friendly mediation to bring about
the end of the terrible war which is
being waged between the great pow
ers of Europe.
At the outset Of his note, President
Wilson called attention to the break
in relations with Germany and en-
phasized the German-Mexican-Jap-
anese plot recently uncovered. The
reason for mentioning this affair is
taken to mean that Carranza, despite
several requests. has never dis
avowed his sympathy with or know
ledge Of the plot.
These circumstances make 1t I'M
Possible for the United States to par
ticipate in Carranza's proposal for
Joint neutral mediation at present.
As for placing an embargo on ship
ments to the allies, the note points
out that allied control of the seas is
the only reason why munitions do not
reach Germany, and that the United
States is we'll within its rights in
furnishing supplies and munitions to
the allies.
