WASHINGTON TO
SENDOFFICIAL
Note TO MEXICO
Public Reply to Gales
Insult Statement Not
Planned; Mexico Posi-
ton Surprises Capital.
~ The ASS ociated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, d. C., June Is
Washington officials gave no indication
today that d public reply woald be
made to President GALES objection TO
the administrations Mexican policy, but
IL was indicated that specific questions
underlying Secretary kelloggs position
would be made the subject Of formal
communication to the Mexican govern
ment. series Of communications ana
representations haga been sent to Mex
leo City from time 30 time recently OF
various cases in which tbs government
is interested, none of which has been
made public and it was indicated that
other matters cited by Mr.. Kellogg il
the statement Saturday on the Mexican
situation. would be the subject of a
formal note.
After the return of Secretary Kellogg
to his desk TO-DAY, it was apparent that,
for the present at least, he saw no oo-
ject in engaging in long range debate
with the Mexican president over a Sit
uation about which officials here are
not in any doubt.
1t was with manifest surprise that
high officials learned that President
Gales viewed as an insult Secne
tary Kellogg's statement of last week
warning against further invasion of
the rights of Americans in Mexico, but
as the Gales statement was not dl,
plomatic paper, it is not in the class
of pronouncements of which the govern
ment is forced to take official lcogni-
zance.
Administration officials take the posi-
tion that, in view of the visit to Wash,
ingtor of Ambassador Sheffield. and
his prolonged conferences, 10th with the
president and Secretary Kellogg, the
American public was entitled to knowl,
edge Of the taue situation in Mexico
with which those conferences had to
do. This feeling is said to have prompt
ed the issuance of Mr.. Kellogg's state
ment of last Friday.
The Washington government is con-
cerned more with what Mexican authori-
ties do in protecting Americans and
their property than with what the.
have to say for publication.
