Would Violate Constitution
 The proposed treaty contained stipulations contrary to several of our constitutional precepts, it's ac- ceptances therefore, would have led inevitable to create a situation where. by Americans resident in Mexico would have been ..granted great CT privileges than any other foreigners in this country ' ana automatically the same .privieghs would have .tos be extended to the citizens of otlsr countries aecordingY to, the: s-treaty clause of The Most Favofed Ma tion,'s ,'sthat'is to say such procedure, unless we changed our Constitution according to the demands, of foreign power, night leadb ta flrel gsanthg Of unjustified priXl eges to Americans in Mexico, Ggenerally speaking, granting priv Gsfo special group of foreigneri exclusion of all cthers, and worse yet. to the detriment of Mexicans them selves.
