File No. 812.00/8029.
The American Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
Mexico, July 12, 1913—11 a.m.
321. Anti-American demonstrations attempted yesterday were checked in their inception by the police. Other attempts will probably be made. American emigration is beginning anew. A great demonstration in honor of the new Japanese Minister, who will soon arrive, is being planned as expressive of friendship for Japan and mutual hatred for the United States. The press continues to publish untruthful and inciting articles against our Government, evidently inspired by this Government. A strong and aggressive attitude should be assumed at Washington. I purpose sending a note to the Foreign Office today.
