ACTION
TO RELIEVE DISTRESS

Immediate action to relieve distress
in Mexico City appears to be generally
accepted as one certain result OF the
Presidents plans as to Mexico. Should
negotiations with the Mexican leaders
fail to open and keep open the road
to the capital from Vera Cruz il is
freely predicted that American troops
and marines may be assigned TO the
task. possibly with cooperation OF
some Latin American countries.

NO Official information concerning
