The Mexican government has not
as yet restored the properties of
Americans seized by the agrarians
and unless restoration is made within
a reasonable time the American Gov
ernment proposes to act in a very
emphatic way.
President Coolidge has hesitated to
make strong diplomatic representa-

that the Gales government will fully

What the administration is aiming to
accomplish is the promotion of a stable
