The Consul at Mexicali (Boyle) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:26 p.m.]
I have been approached informally by Governor Salazar relative to securing permission for the release and import of the aeroplane license for export of which was refused to T. O. Paine who desired to export same at time of recent political unrest in Lower California, the consignee being the Cantu Government. Inasmuch as the resignation of Cantu brought to an end the period of unrest I can now see no more objection to the export of this plane than existed when some months ago Cantu was allowed to import three planes from the United States, and accordingly suggest that the plane be released for export. Although some commercial use may be made of the plane any plane exported to Mexico at present is available for ultimate military use.
