Relations between the United States and Mexico
Washington, January 1. The supporters of Mr. de La Huerta, leader of the insurgents in Mexico, officially requested the American War Department not to sell war munitions to the government of President Obregon.
It is declared, at the American War Department, that the government of General Obregon is the only government recognized in Mexico by the United States. So it seems that we should not take into account the protest of General de La Huerta against the planned sale of ammunition and arms. However, in official circles in Washington, two opinions seem to be emerging regarding the decision taken by the American cabinet to sell Mexico 15,000 rifles and several airplanes, with a view to suppressing the insurrection. Some argue that the United States sells weapons and war materials to help Mexico's current government protect American lives and property against insurgents. Others believe that the United States government has no authority to intervene in the internal affairs of another nation; he must therefore refuse to deliver weapons to General Obregon. This is how the arguments for and against continue to intersect; it is likely that this affair will give rise to political and diplomatic developments. |
