m i ■
LAREDO, TEXAS, Feb. 28. —
Americans arriving from Mexico City
j say the Mexican Congress rejected a
bill providing for benevolent neutral
ity by Mexico on the side of the En
tente powers in the war solely because
of constitutional provisions that give
the President, not Congress, author
ity to act on such a question.
The debate on the bill which was
secret, is said to have been mainly
pro-Entente, especially in the Cham
ber of Deputies.
