American Embassy,
Mexico, July 19, 1913—8 p.m.

344. The Japanese Chargé d’Affaires formally called on me today and informed me that he had written a note to the Mexican Government stating that while the Japanese Government appreciated the courtesy to be extended to its Minister on his arrival it would nevertheless regret very much if that occasion should be taken to make a pro-Japanese and anti-American demonstration. I have shown the Foreign Office how inadvisable it would be for the Mexican Government to countenance anti-American demonstrations.
