No Proposals From Carranza On Army Withdrawal
Washington May 3 developments in the Mexican situation await Gen Scott reports after talks with Gen Obregon at El Paso. The War Department had no new word from the chief of staff, and President Wilson’s policy of rejecting any Carranza proposal tied to immediate U S troop withdrawal remains. Carranza offers 25000 troops with border protection goals if U S forces depart, while Washington signals willingness to limit Pershing’s zone and use trucks to keep supply lines, but not withdraw now. Villa’s status looms as a potential factor in shaping the negotiation and the broader aim to end border raids.
