Carranza defends execution of federal officers as traitors
In a dispatch from Sonora dated November 7, General Venustiano Carranza replies to a U S note criticizing summary executions by federal commanders. He argues wartime necessity and cites the Juarez law of January 25 1862, asserting harsh measures to preserve order and restore peace. He acknowledges humane sentiment but protects firm action against those who aided rebellion. He appeals for continued sympathy from North Americans and stresses governance and stability.
