Diplomatic Limits in Mexican Crisis and Armistice Talks
Huerta’s limited field of action dominates present diplomacy on the Mexican problem. If Carranza rejects any armistice, diplomats focus on US Mexico differences while aiming to solve the broader issue. South American mediators report mixed signals and possible direct Carranza messaging. State Department discussions continue on a neutral Tampico zone to protect air property and prevent losses. A joint resolution to fund the army, 101 million dollars, was introduced at Wilson’s request to meet the Mexican emergency, with naval action debated but not pressed without presidential support.
