PRESIDENT SIGNS PROCLAMA.

ARE BACKING UP OBREGON
Action Taken as Means to Disoourage
Revolution In Latin-America
Washington.—President Coolldge
has taken further steps to aid the
Obregon Government in Mexico, sign-
ing a proclamation which Imposed
an immediate embargo on any ship-
ments of war munitions to that coun-
try except with the specific approval
of the Government. A fine of $10,000
or two years' imprisonment or both
may be imposed upon convicted vi-
olators of the embargo.
Action was taken by the President
on recommendation of Secretary
Hughes. No formal statement accom-
panied the text of the proclamation
when it was made public at the
State Department. So far as known,
however, the Washington Govern-
ment has no exact information as to
Intended sales of arms in the United
States to Mexican rebel factions be-
yond the inquiry through the Depart-
_ ment of Justice received recently
from the De la Huerta agent in New
Orleans concerning purchase and as-
sembly in New Orleans for shipment
to the rebel forces of arms and am-
munition.
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
"Whereas, Section 1 of a joint res-
olution of Congress .entitled 'A Joint
Resolution to Prohibit the Exporta-
tion of Arms or Munitions of War
from the United States to Certain
Countries, and for Other Purposes,'
approved Jan. 31, 1923. provides as
follows:
"'That whenever the "President
finds that in any American country,
or in any country in which the Unit-
ed States exercises extra- territorial
jurisdiction, conditions of domestic
violence exist, which are or may be
promoted by the use of arms or mu-
nitions ofn war procured from the
United States, and makes proclama-
tion thereof, it shall be unlawful to
export, except under such limitations
and exceptions as the President pre-
scribes, any arms or munitions of
war from any place in the United
States to such country until other-
wise ordered by the President or
Congress.' "
QUINN WANTS SOME
BONUS ACTICN
Legion Head Declares That Employ-
ers Are Coercing Ex-Soldiers
on Measure.
Indianapolis, Ind.—'Making reply
/or the American Legion to oppo-
nents o fadjusted compensation, John
R. Quinn, national commander, in a
letter addressed to representatives
in Congress, accused employers of
coercing their ex-service men em-
ployes into writing letters to sena-
tor and songressmen in opposition
to the proposed adjusted compensa-
tion bill.
The anti-bonus propagandists, said
Commander Quinn, "take as their
slogan 'everything for the disabled,
nothing for the able-bodied.' Yet not
one of these has ever appeared be-
fore Congress to urge passage of
legislation for the disabled during
the four years the American Legion
has made the disabled man's cause
its own.
"The organizers of the present un-
fair barrage of propaganda." the let-
ter continues, "are boasting of being
able to delay Congressional action
on the adjusted compensation bill so
that their propaganda may, through
its force, cause members of Congress
to desert the soldiers' cause?
