WASHINGTON, Dec 1 - The gov "nments note to Mexico, made public
 at the hour of it's delivery in co City, renews the request for he immediate release of William c. Jenkins. the American consular agent, imprisoned at Puebla, and bluntly charges Carranza with attempting 10 becloud the issue
 lu the sharpest language vet ad- dressed to the Carranza government, and probably more pointed than one government usually addressed another in formal diplomatic communication, the United States says it regards Mex lco's plea of judicial reasons for not lt teasing Jenkins as mere excuses" id gives notice that it will not be drawn away from the main facts and Into a discussion of irrelevant and ! important matters"
 Says Authorities Negligent
 The attitude of the Carranza gov er.ment in the matter, the note says, h. been to assume a wllful indiffer- cnce to the feelings of American peo- p'a and the conclusion drawn by the government is that Mexico has sought Co divert the attention of the Ameri- cin people and the Mexican people as well from the fact Puebla, second largest city in Mexico, is overrun by bandits. while the civil authorities are negligent"
 No 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 -' rican government would be if the wed request for his release is c, cd.
 After a conference with Secretary J. nsing late today, Chairman Porter c the house foreign affairs commit

American propaganda and even for ( base of attack upon the United Statei by any foreign country that effected a combination with Mexico. By. his the spirit, if not the letter, of the Mon roe docrine would be violated.

 Property rights have been violated and the Mexican courts have declared constitutional and cOnfiscatory pro visions of the Mexican fundamental law against which we have taken l: strong stand. : have a copy of thu Mexican courts decision in this matter If we permit the property rights o our nationals in Mexico to be thus vio lated, where can we stop? Suppos Brazil and Argentina and Germany an, other nations iopt such a confisca tory law our interests abroad wouli be wiped out.
 "F1r three yes rs or more l have bee firmly convinced that either amicabl or forceful intervention in Mexico b the United States inevitable. l hay heard nothing that leads me to chang my mind.
 And | wish to say that I am con vinced that the state department mean husiness this time 1 also believe tha when the state departments firm stan is 'ut before congress we shall giv it our strongest support
