for intervention by the United States government in Mexican affairs.
 However we did present to the president the views of the order as outlined in the resolution concern ing Intervention and non-inter- ference by this government in Mex ico, and we endeavored to make it plain that from our viewpoint the present situation in Mexico is the result of the attitude by this gov ernment as represented by previous administrations in connection with Mexican affairs, in that MT. Gales is the successor of the Carranza and Obregon regimes. and Carranza owed his position in Mexican affairs to the support and cooperation that was given to him by this govern ment, and during the administra- ton of MT. Obregon this govern ment supplied him with arms and munitions of war, including military airplanes, at the same time placing an embargo upon the shipment and delivery of arms to Mexico.
 Also, for the first time In the history of this government. 1t per mitted the transportation and pas sage of armed military forces of an- other government across American territory when it permitted the troops of Obregon to pass from No- gales to Fl Paso for the purpose Of a revolution.
 We are of the opinion that the conditions that exist in Mexico to- day result from the interference by this government in the manner ln- dicated and but for such interte'- ence the Carranza, Obregon ana Gales governments would not have existed.
 Our resolution was a protest or this attitude on the part of the gov ernment of the United States and we felt that as liberty loving American citizens it was our duty to bring this matter forcibiy to the attention of the president, the state depart ment and the American people Tn the hope that the condition com rloined about would be remedled and that this government might use it's good offices to ameliorate he which oppress the Mexi- can people.
