Authority . from the state department to permit , restoration to normal of movement into Mexico of all commodities except munitions mu-nitions of war was asked today by the treasury department. Shipments of clothing and food already al-ready are being passed freely by the customs and military authorities, but quantities of freight, chiefly lumber and coal, have accumulated along the border. Virtually a complete embargo against exports into Mexico was imposed without with-out formal proclamation when the United Unit-ed States and the Carranza, governments reached such a stage that war seemed unavoidable. Unnecessary Hardship. Now that friendly diplomatic negotiations nego-tiations are iu progress looking to a settlement of all issues, many officials regard it as an unnecessary hardship both ,upon Mexicans and upon American Ameri-can interests in Mexico to prevent ship ments other than war supplies. General Pershing reported today that it was generally believed both by Mexicans and foreigners along the line of communication of his expedition that a crisis between the United States and Mexico had been averted and that this had brought about a new friendly relationship between the Americans and Mexicans. "Mexicans iu this vicinity and along the railroad, ' ' the dispatch said, ' ' are reported very friendly toward Americans Ameri-cans in the last few days. It is generally gen-erally believed that trouble between the United States and Mexico has been settled. The rainy season is on iu earnest, ear-nest, heavy rains being reported from tho various stations along the line during dur-ing the last few days. Will report within a day or two effects of rain upon . roads and general prospects regarding road maintenance." |
