tOnIlnuen from l'HEt uHt
to avoid misunderstanding Of Mexico s
action The statement follows:
The President of the Republic and the
Cabinet, at a special meeting, has de-
Cided that it was an imperative necessity
to recall the Mexican diplomatic repre-
sentative to cuba and to spend for an
indefinite period the sending of a new
representative because II was Consid-
cred an Indispensable measure for the
high ideals and interests of the two
nations in the adtual moments of an
acute worold crisis.
''The state of war in which Cuba is
involved has obliged the Government of
Cuba to dictate measures which in many
cases affect the interests of the Mexican
Government and her citizens, and for
this reason the Mexican legation would
be called upon to make frequent repre-
sertations to the Cuban Government
which would only he useless and which
would restrict the liberty of action of a
fSiendly nation which is now in an af-
flicted situation.
In consequence, our diplomatic efforts
would not produce at this time any
practical results and would only pro-
duce tension in our relations which
would have to he cleared up later to
maintain the unbroken fraternal senti-
mentS of solidarity whlch nave always
bound us to the people of Cuba and all
Latin-American countries.
Relations Strained
Mexico, upon recalling her diplo-
matte representatives from Cuba, gives
eloquent proof of her consideration and
respect for the sovereignty of a friendly
Government which is now passing
through a critical period. At the same
time il furnishes proof of confidence,
in virtue Of which the Mexican Govern
ment expects her citizens will be treated
with all the benevolence that the laws
of Cuba and her institutions permit
under which protection they will remain
in that republic the same as her own
nationals,
IN so doing the Mexican Govern
ment complies faithfully with the line
of conduct which President Carranza
has proclaimed upon innumerable occa-
sions as the highest ideal of a true So
ciety of nations the equality of nation
ais and foreigners alike and complete
submission OF al 10 the natipnal SOW
