§ 1 i PRESIDENT 10 LIFT EMBARED Arms May Be Shipped Over Mexican Border. T0 REPEAL TAFT’S .ORDER Proolamation Expected to Be of Ma- terial Assistance to the Rebels in Thelr Struggle Against the Huerta Governmont, % Washington, Feh. 4.—President Wil- son has decided to lift the embargo on exportation of arms to Mexico. A proclamation under the authority of the congressional resolution of 1913, whioh will restore the status of the arms question to where both Hu- erta foroes and Constitutionalists may import arms from the United States, soon will be issued from the White House. President Taft issued the proclama- tion which barred the exportation of arms on March 14, 1912. § Mo did that under the authority of & joint congressional resolution which empowered the president to take such aoction whenever he should find that “In any American country conditions of domestic violence exist which are promoted by the use of arms and munitions of war procured from the United States.” News of the action about to be tak- en by President Wilson became known through sources which have been con- stantly advised of the administration’s policy in Mexico. It also became known that the subject had been dis- oussed at the cabinet meeting. Officlal Order Later. There were intimations that an of- flolal announcement of the adminis- tratfon’s purpose would be coming from the White House later. It is belleved that President Wilson finally decided to raise the embargo after being convinced that by restriot- ing shipments of arms to Mexico the United States was not really showing neutrality, which was the purpose of the embargo, but was in fact showing partiality to the Huerta forces. It bas been frequently represented to the administration during the prog- ress of the Mexican negotiations that it the United States would permit free shipments of arms to General Carranza the Constitutionalists would undertake to restore peace in Mexico and set up a constitutional govern- ment within a short time. It was understood in official circles that the announcement of the presi- dent’s determination to lift the em- bargo had gone forward to Charge O’Bhaughnessy in Mexico City, prob- ably with instructions to advise the Huerta government. Constitutionalist agents in Wash- ington learned of the development unofficially and declared that the end of the war was in sight.
