war. the message said:
Defends lIexico's Neutrality
The republic Of Mexico observed the
conduct OF absolute neutrality. but
certain governments have expressed
the opinion that the government OF
Mexico had not been strictly neutral,
although they were not able to affirm
or specify any act or mission on the
part Of the government Of Mexico
which would imply the least violation
Of neutrality, Judging IN accordance
with the most exigent principles OF
International law, treaties nov pa
force and universally established
practices On the other hand. the
rights Of Mexico as neutral were not
always respected as they were entiued
to because various units OF the Ameri-
can navy remained in certain eXcep-
tional cases more than p hours in our
waters while there were kept at
anchor at Tampico vessels Of war IN
der the pretext Of protecting their fel-
low nations"
Referring to the fact that Mexico

Of nations. the president wrote:
The Mexican government has done

whatever, 10 be admitted into the III
fernational society because the bases
that sustain IL does not establish.

with respect TO performance OF its
functions. perfect equality for all ma

leading principle Of its international
policy that all states ought TO have the
same rights and the some o cations,
so that no Individual within a stase
should have the power to invoke privi-
eyed protection by reason Of being a
orei~ner or for any other cause

without the yOlitiOn of all the
peoples Of America a criterion in
which they were not consulted
and because that doctrine smaked
OF sovereignty over Mexico and
constituted fOrcible guardianship
over ali the nations on the Ameri-
hemisphere"
The Mexican government has IN
due time established a method Of IN
Identifying losses occasioned during
the revolution" said the message,
and has given an example thereby

government in an analogous stu

Summarizes Notes to L. s.
President Carranza then summar-
lied two notes sent by the American
government. Deem Der Is. 1913. one of
which answered the Mexican note
claiming the right 70 legislate on pc
troleum- Mention was also made Of
the American protest against the
treasury departments circular regard I
Ing the collection Of royalties from
oil companies and gave the Mexican
reply. After protesting against the
demand for Intervention for the Dur
pose Of making our laws accord with
personal interests" president Car
rama declared the oil campaign was
disguised under the plea for fnterven- !
ton because the lack OF guarantees
they pretend exists in our territory"
Citing the case Of the Rich
aruson Construction company's protest
against the Increase in land taxes. the
me sage said:
Unfortunately the Mexican govern
ment has received suggestions from
the United States government when It
has tried 10 make reforms that may
in1ure American citizens. These sug-
gestions destroy deliberately our li5-
erty for legislation and nullify the
right We have to progress in accord I
ance with our own ideas The argu-
ment used by the American state de-
press. has been that our duties are I
