Villa Willing to Invite New Union of All Mexicans
General Villa in a note to President Wilson expresses willingness to invite a new union of all Mexicans to work together to insure the triumph of revolutionary principles, especially the agrarian problem and expansion of education for the people. He cites two reasons: avoid Diaz faction regaining control under another name, and to prevent U S intervention amid worsening conditions. The note requests a conference preliminaries arrangement and offers no meeting location.
