STRONG NOTE
TO MEXICO
U. S. DECLINES TO BE DRAWN
FROM THE MAIN
ISSUES.
MUST FREE CONSUL
SHARP WORDS FROM NOTE TO
PRESIDENT CARRANZA BY
UNITED STATES.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington, Dec 2.-The govern
ment's note to Mexico, made public
at the hour of it's delivery in Mexico
City, renews the request for the i'm
mediate release of William O. Jen-
kins, the American consular agent i'm
prisOned at Puebla and bluntly
charges CarranZa with attempting to
language yet addressed to the Car
rama government, and probably more
pointed than one government usually
addresses another in a formal diplo-
matte communication, the United
States says it regards MeXico's plea of
judicial reasons for not releasing
Jenkins as 'mere excuses" and gives
notice that it will not be drawn away
from the main fact and into 4 dis
cussion of "irrelevant and unimpOrt-
ant matters"
The attitude of the CarranZa gov
ernment in the matter, the note says,
has been to assume a Willful indif-
ference to the feelings of the Ameri-
can people and the conclusion drawn
by the government is that Mexico has
American people and the Mexican
people as we'll from the fact that Pu-
ebla, second largest city in Mexico, is
Overrun by bandits, while the civil
authorities are negligent"
The ultimatum was served and no
time was given in which this govern
ment expects Jenkins to be released
and neither was there any statement
in the note as to what the course of
the American government would be if
the renewed request for his release
was denied.
After a conference with Secretary
Lansing, Chairman Porter of the
House foreign affairs committee eX-
pressed the opinion that 1.-THE State
Department means business this time"
Chairman Porter indicated that he
was in accord with the governments
present policy in dealing with the
Mexican situation.
1.-The danger to the United States
of this condition of continual unrest
and feeling of hostility toward us in
Mexico" Mr. Porter said, "lies in the
fact that it provides fertile field for
anti i-American propaganda and even a
base for attack upon the United
States by any foreign country that
affected a combination with Mexico.
BY this the spirit, if not the letter, of
the Monroe doctrine would be viO-
lated.
