The existing state Of the relations be
tween the Uuled States and Mexico, reL
dcrs it proper that should bring the sub
iect to the consideration Of Congress. II
my message at the commencement of you
present session, the stale Of these relations
The causes which led TO the suspension o
diplomatic intercourse between The two
countries in March, l8i5 and the long
continued and unredressed wrongs and in
jures committed by tho Mexican govern
men, on citizens of The United States in
their persons and property, were briefly
set forth.
As the facts and opinions which were
thea laid before you were carefully Consid'
eted. cannot better express nv presen
convictions of The condition Of affairs M tn
that time, than by referring you TO sha'
communication.
The strong desire to establish pear'
with Mexico, on liberal and hono,abl
terms, and the readiness Of ,his governmen'
10 regulate and adjust our boundary am
other causes Of difference with that powr'
on such fair and eqNi,she principles as
would lead u permanent relations Of ~
most friendly nature induced me in Sep.
iembsr last to seek the re-opening of diplo.
matte relations between hp tao countries,
Every measure adopted on UUr part haG
for It's object the lurtherance OF these desire
results. In communicating 80 Congress
succinct statement Of The injuries which
we had suffered from Mexico, and which
had been sccumulating during period Of
more than twenty years, every expression
that could tend 10 indame the people ol
Mexico, o, defea, or delay pacific result,
was carefully avoided An envoy Of the
United States repaired to Mexico with fOIl
powers to adjust every existing difference,
Bot though present on the Mexican soil; BY
agreement between the two governments
invested with fnl powers and bearing evl
dence of the most friendly dispositions, his
mission has been unavaiing. The MeXi.
can government not only refused 10 receive
him, or listen to his propositions, but
after a Iong-contiDued series Of menaces
have at last invaded opr territory and shed
the blood of our feow>clizens or our Owr
soil.
Itnow becomes my duty to state more il
detail the origin, progress and failure o
that MISSION. In pursuance OF the nsru"'
,ions given in September last, an inquiry
was made on the 18th Of October, 1915, n
the most friendly terms, through our Con
sui in Mexico, Of the Minister Of FOreig,
Affairs, whether the Mexican Governn en-
.would receive an Envoy from the UnlIec
Stalss, inirusIed With full powers TO aajnS
all the questions in dispute between the two
governnenls.' vii the assurance that 'shOull
the answer be in the affirmative, such al
Envoy would be Immediately despatched
