Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Address of the President to Congress December 2, 1913

File No. 312.11/1208.

The American Ambassador to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram—Paraphrase.]

American Embassy,
Mexico City, February 28, 1913.

Department’s No. 46, February 27, 2 p.m. I think the Department misinterpreted De la Barra’s telegram owing to its involved statement. It was not intended to be definite and conclusive but simply an expression of the good will with which he has taken up his task.

Wilson.
