ter. The message went forward to-
night. It's contents were not reveal

Secretary Baker said there would be
no change in the administrations
policy. .-.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas-

in favor Of the withdrawal of troops.
He was informed that the state de-
partment would not take up any dip

Later Mr.. Arredondo indicated the
feeling of his government that the

was serving only to undermine con-
troll of the de facto government over
the general situation in Mexico.
