American Concerns Robbed of Many

Mexican Government Informed of

WASHINGTON, Sept. apparently
earnest in demanding proper treatment
of Americans in Mexico, the CaTanza
government has adopted novel expedent
in an attempt to relieve itself of re-
sponsibility.
Americans going to the Tampico region,
hereafter, will be compelled to sign for
NAL release of the Mexican governments
responsibility for what may happen to
them. If they refuse, Mexican officials
will refuse to wise their passports. The
conditions raise peculiar situation for
under international law a government
may refuse travel permission to foreign
ers into a region where it may not be
prepared to guarantee their safety.
This affidavit is not only required OF
workmen who are American citizens, but
also of American citizens in the United
States holding passports from the state
department authorizing them to visit the
Tampico region

in the Tampico region have been received
