QUESTIONS WILL BE USED IN NOTE Mexico Will Be Asked Di rectly Concerning Matters Which Have Caused Dif ferences Between Nations. Washington. June 15.—Washington of ficials gave no indication today that a public reply would be made to Presi dent Cal’.e*' objection to the administra tion’s Mexican policy, but it was indi cated that specific questions underlying Secretary Kellogg’s position would be made the subject of a formal coin muni* cation to the Mexican government. A series of communications and rep resentations have been sent to Mexico City from time to time recently in va rious cases in which this government is interested, none of which have berti made public, and it was indicated that other matters cited by Mr. Kellogg Saturday would be the subject of a formal note. After the return of Secretary Kellogg to his desk today it was apparent that for the present at least he saw no ob ject in engaging in long range debate with the Mexican president over a situa tion about which officials here are not in any doubt. CALLES BRANDS KELLOGG’S WARNING AS AN INSULT Regards .American Statement as Em bodying a Threat Which He "Rejects With All Energy.” Washington. I). C.. June 14. —Presi- dent Calles. of Mexico, in a statement j issued today by the Mexican embassy here asserted that Secretary Kellogg’s statement last Friday contained a “threat" against Mexico's sovereignty and that the implication that Mexico stood "on trial before the world" in the guise of a defendant "in essence would only mean an insult." Furthermore, President Calles added. “Mexico does not accord to any sovereign country the right to interview In her do mestic affairs, nor is she disposed to sub ordinate her international relations to the exigencies of another country.” Mexico, the statement 'continues, is conscious of her international obliga tions and is determined to comply with them, as a proof of which it maintains the establishment of claims commissions for the consideration of claims held by foreigners against Alexico for losses sus tained during revolutions. President Calles also regrets that Sec retary Kellogg mentioned in his state ment reports of an impending revolution in Mexico, “since this last affirmation tends to cast some alarm in the world in regard to the conditions of my coun try.”’ "The statement that the government of the United States will continue to support the government of Mexico only so long as it protects American interests and lives and complies with its interna tional engagements and obligations. ’ he declares, "embodies a threat to the sov ereignty of Mexico that she can not overlook and rejects with all energy. ‘*The statement under reference a’so affirms that the American ambassador lias su<“ceoded in protecting American as well as foreign interests, and if he has thus succeeded, he has no right to charge Mexico of failure to protect such inter ests. and attention should be called to the fact that said ambassador does not represent any other foreigner, but his own fellow citizens, and Mexico could not admit that without her previous au thorization the American ambassador should act in behalf of persons or , in terests alien to those of his country. "If the government of Mexico, as af firmed, is now on trial before the world, he says, “such is the case with the gov ernment of the United States as well as those of other countries; but if it to be understood that Mexico is on trial in the guise of a defendant, my govern ment absolutely rejects with energy such imputation, which in essence would only mean an insult.” World’s Brightest Light Paris.
