this Government supplied him with
arms and munitions Of war; including
military airplanes, and at the same
time placed an embargo on shipment
and delivery Of arms to Mexico, and
also. for the first time in the history
of this Government, we permitted
transportation and passage OF armed
military forces of another government
to cross American territory. This was
when the United States permitted the
troops of ObregOn to pass from
NogaleS to FL Paso to suppress the
revolution.
I'VE are of the opinion that cOndi-
tions existing in Mexico today result
from interference by this Government
in the manner indicated, and but for
such interference the CarranZa, Obre-
gon and Gales governments would not
have existed. Our resolution is pro-
test against the attitude of the Gov
ernment of the United States, and we
felt, as liberty-loving American citi-
Zens. it was our duty to bring the mat
ter forcibly to the attention of the
President, the State Department and
the American people in the hope that
the conditions complained of would be
remedied, and that this Government
might use it's good offices to ameliorate
the conditions which oppress the Mex
lean people"
The foregoing statement in com
planning of the permission the United
States gave the MeXicans to ship field
troops from Nogales to FL Paso to sup
press an incipient revolution is taken
as a criticism of the Coolidge policy
toward Mexico as we'll as of the VIII
SON. Harding policy.
Whether the reference to the use of
good offices indicates that the admins
tration may undertake to bring peace
between the Gales government and
MeXicanS who consider that their re-
ligious liberties have been invaded is
not known. But it was pointed out
by those close to the President that in
conducting his foreign policy he prob
ably would not feel that this Govern
ment could act in such way in a
purely domestic Mexican problem.
Mr.. Flaherty, in addition to his
statement, said that the Philadelphia
resolutions have been misunderstood,
because a careful reading of them will
disclose that they do not ask that the
arms embargo be lifted. He added that
the delegation did say to Mr.. Coolidge
that the knights of Columbus believe
the Government should not give "sup-
port, encouragement or sympathy to
the Gales government.
This conference was arranged at the
request Of Supreme knight Flaherty.
Before comforting with the Secretary
of State two weeks ago, Mr.. F'laherty
and his associates desired to come to
the President with their troubles, but
at his suggestion they first went to
the State Department.
Hospital Visit Postponed.
Although nothing was divulged
after the conference today to indicate
what President Coolidge said to the
members of this delegation. those in
the Presidents confidence, and who
should be able to speak authoritative
ly, said that President Coolidge will
continue his "hands off" policy until
the time arrives when he is convinced
that some drastic step should be
taken.
The only other callers today were
Senator and Mrs. F. Fl. Gillett Of
Massachusetts. The President had
hoped to go to Sun Mount, the Vet
erans' Bureau Hospital, at Tupper
Lake today, but Cancelled the trip. He
will have as luncheon guest Adolph
S. Ochs, publisher of the New York
Times.
There was a heavy frost in this
