The warning of the State Depart
ment was qualified in stating that
the change in policy will be adopted
should "the lives of American citf-
zens conoinue to remain unsafe, and
such murders as those rep, tted and
potested heretofore, continue by rea-
sn of unwillingness or inability f the
government of Mexico to afford ade
quate protection"
The note was sent to the Mexican
government on July %, by George
I. Summer,ein, Charge sd'Affaires at
the American Embassy, in the City of
Mexico.
The Stote Department in publish
the note with the reply from the
Mexican government, explained that
"such action was taken in view of
the long series of murders and out
RACES committed upon American citi-
zens in Mexico, eliminating in the
murder of Peter Catron, in the State
of San Luis Potosi, last month.
The reply by the goernment of Mex
ico, dotted July 28th, was signed by
Salvador Diego Fernandez, acting
Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
cabinet of President Carranza.
The note transmitted through the
Mexican Embassy in this city, said
that the Mexican government is do
ing it's best to protect Americans and
other foreigners. 1t said that "many
foreigners, through ignorance, or
lack of prudence. or rash eagerness
for profit, ventured to remain or ira
vel in dangerous regions thereby in
curing a risk of becoing ictims of
offences, and even trusting to escape
offences because of being foreigners.
The Mexican note charged that
paymasters of petroleum companies
in the Tampico oil region, have re-
fused offers of escorts on the ground
that scorts attract rebels; or escorts
do not behave properly. "These are
ungrounded assertions" AYERS the
note. Moreover, relations which
existed between theese petroleum com
panies and rebels are notorious; it
being also suspected that there have
been cases where paymasters who
have been robbed were in accord or
in collusion with their alleged assail
ants"
