WITH RESPECT TO MEXICO
The President Let It Be Known
Thatthe Only Settled Part of
His Policy at Present Is To
Continue the Course, of
Watchful Waiting As To
Lifting Embargo On Arms,
He Has Not Fully Made Up
His Mind Yet.
B n Awx41J Trt-l
Washington, Jan. 29. President
Vtlaon today outlined informally the
-statue of "problems of American
diplomacy-brought Into ' the fore
ground of public attention by his re
rent conference with the Senate com
mittee on foreign relation!. He re
iterated with emphaats that no crisis
aa al hand In "y "f -the questions
he had discussed unless the Mexican
lt nation would be construed as In the
nature of a perpetual crisis, always
fraught with the possibility of sud
den change or unexpected develop
ments. In divulging some of the. more im-

h warning against unwarranted
, 'peculation, by the press., onjtorelgn I,
questions, indicating mat govern
ments frequently were embarrassed
by unfounded reports. . - i
Vrhltrntlon Treaties Have No Bearing
tin MMiro,- -"
The President made it clear that-.
Ire&l' liritaiti ' nnd 4hf t-eiteral nrhi
ih"se problems were .not grouped to
gether as having any bearing on the
Mexican ait datum.
VCith respect to Mexico, the. I'resi-
ient let it V Know n that the only set-
.&a peirt-irtf ma -policy t "present Waa
i" continue the course of watchful
siting, but that this was a day-to
lay conviction With htm. subject to
developments. He has not made up
liis mind fo lift the embargo In arms
lull is considering arguments for and
inn Inst such a course. He does not
Iresitste to admit that thus far the
TVtactioal operation of the denial of
nrms to both factions has been, to
ir-vent the constitutionalists ..from
st Ohgm"nh1TIbnvTf war from their
ffibJbLJkUejwU-iuiwe the American
border while the Huerta government
with Its seaboards Is able to purchase
from foreign governments generally?
Wilson I'roiiounce It False.
In this connection the President an
-nounced as false the report that the
Japanese )VwrnmnT was su ttlylht
munitions of war to the Huerta gov
ernment.' This waa inquired Into by
Ambassador Guthrie at Tokio, who
learned that on" shipment of arms
, had gone toj Mexicfi from a Japanese
i onuneri-iul house, and that another
consignment was to be aenl
cter Aked Any Nation tttf Restric
tion.
Tie 1'residenl made it clear that
the l ulled States never had asked
u-pity nation to restrict exportations of
mills to Mexico, knowing that this
government possessed no such right
and that special legislation would
have to be enacted by each -country
to prohibit commercial transactions
The President believes that the for
eign governments are doing all they
an to show a, friendly spirit toward
tne l ruled stales tn tne aiexican suu
silon. The American government
realizes that the Huerta administra
tion has a plentiful supply of am
munition and arms. President WH-

What Senator McCumher Said
