aa "national aulclde" by Gen. Alvaro
Obrogon, in aa Interview with the
Aaaociated Press correspondent.

relations between Mexico and the
United Statea la to make the interna-
tional border like the Canadian bound-
ary, withdrawing troops, except'cus-
toms officials.
Thinke Carranza Sincere.
"Carranza's interpretation of the
Monroe Doctrine was a mistake, al-
though I believe Carranza was per-
fectly sincere in the belief his policy
waa best for Mexico."
General Obregon plainly showed the
strain under which he has been labor-
ing more thans x months. He was
coatlesa aa he talked, his voice was
hoarse. A ten day's growth of beard,
heavily shot with white, covered his{
face. Outside the little hotel in Tacu-
baya, a suburb, his temporary bead-
quarters, the narrow street was pam-
med with automobiles and spectators.
At the entrance to the hotel, a small
squad of Yaqui Indian soldiers at-
