JINX PURSUES DEPALMA

piration of the term for which I was
elected under terms of the state con
stitution, at the expiration of whicf
time l would deliver the government
to whoever might be elected under
the same constitutional forms.
81 sincerely appreciate the attitudc
assumed by Mr.. de la Huerta as Su-
preme Chief of the Liberal Constitu-
tional Army, and when all the above
outlined arrangements are made or
his way through Sinaloa, shall have
no compunctions about rendering my
services to the new regime in al
sincerity and loyalty, as | desire t.
emphasize tfat my one thought ant
endeavof has been to uphold the
prestige and future of my state.
eff the conciliat Dry policy shown sc
far be continued, this seems to me-
the most propitious moment to deere
a general amnesty to ali thos'
elements that have perturbed con
tinually the course Of order anc
stability in our country, and return
ing to their owners all properties
hat have been confiscated
"All ambitions should be set asidf
and all sacrifices made that will tent
to the country's welfare, to do which
it will be essential &c have completr
harmony among all military elements
the only ones at present that coul(
break anew the peace and TRANQUILITY
so necessary for real progress.
"With such q spirit of cohesion and
integrity we'll established great
economies in administration could be
carried out, equahzirg finally re-
ce'ipts and disbursements. 1t is also
of utmost importance that ample
guarantees of security be given banks
and other enterprises necessary fo'
facilitation of business; and particular
encouragement should be given ex-
portation of surplus products, as be-
:ng essentially producers our people
must depend for prosperity upon foy
eign markets So far we have snc
ceeded only in levying almost pro-
hibitive taxes upon exports.
Gore factor distinguishing greatl'
this movement from all others is its
stand for upholding sovereignty OF
state governments and administra
tions legally elected by the people
that being the very foundation anC'
impelling cause of the present sue
ccssful movement; beside which II
shows existence of firm discipline
- ,,,l1tol1 i0nollX fhn1,
might arise in some sections military
elements which would endeavor t.
force influence in favor of close
friends, against real interests of the
people.
"As everyone knows the deposef
president, Carranza, had his error
but it is not my lot to judge him; and
especially so because of the fact that
was loyal TO his government unit
the last moment, considering him the
legal president of Mexico; as l will
always contend that every movement
should bring first conviction to the
peoples conscience, and leave an ap-
zeal to arms as the very last resort
as was done by the martyred Madero
"With the death of Carranza his
errors and shortcomings are no more;
and doubtless History will present
him as a patriot of unbreakable de-
termination; and indeed all such eX-
ampies of strong will are ever use
ful.
sIt remains now for the successful
revolution to be ipeXorable with the
:nurderers, as such crimes will always
be despised wherever there is left
anything of honesty and patriotism,
even if they be but particles.
"To conclude desire to say that
[ consider this the psychological
moment to terminate at once and Tor
all time cur Civil Wars, as sorrowfhl-
lv and dearly bought experiences OF
the past; and that they serve to snow
plainly to all future statesmen that
power is exceedingly cphemeral un-
less based upon justice and reason:
giving the people their long hoped
for liberty, now achieved at a cost Oh
so much bloodshed.
"Oh. Mexico My beloved country,
; trust the blood so lavishly she'd Will
make amends for errors and blundefs
CT your sons, and that as a just re-
compense they may live happily, to,
gether with all the Mexican race ana
.hose who bning with themselves their
rood will for your prosperity"
