PROCLAMATION
TIGHTENS EMBARGO
ACTION IS DEMANDED

Interest was again conferred upon
the Mexican problem when the state
department made public a proeiaWa-
ton by President Wilson tightening
the embargo upon expectation OF arms
and ammunition into Mexico, the pres
ident asserting he had found lhefe
oxist in Mexico conditions Of domes-
tic violence promoted by the use OF
arms or ammunitions OF war procured
from the United States" under proEls-
ions of resolution of the United
States congress. The resolution refer
red TO was passed by congress III
March 1914 and under its provisions
shipments of arms into Mexico nave
been kept under more OF less strict
control.
The action of the president IN IS
suing another proclamation, severe III
the restrictions it imposes. and calltn2
mon all to obey his inJuncuons, IS
generally accepted here as an mdlca-
tiOn that the United States has deter
mined recent developments demand
firmer action by this government.
The statement by the president that
he is satified the shipment OF arms
into Mexico from the United States
IS RESPONSIBLE for the disOrdered con
ditions in Mexico is interpreted here
as meaning one OF two things: mat
the president believes shipments even
to the Carranza government on the
scale which has been permitted are
unwise or that the smuggling OF arms
and munitions. across the border which
reached bandit forces such as those
controlled by Villa, brought about the
result which he finds to exist in the
Mexican republic.
The proclamation was prepared on
July - before Secretary OF State Ian
sing returned from France and bears
the signature of Frank L. Polk, under
secretary of state, as we'll as that ct
the president. 1t is considered signifl
cant that this date was but three days
after Mr. Polk had conferred with u
representatives of American Oil inter
ests in Mexico to discuss with the
department of state and members OF
congress the distressing conditions IN
