505. Please inform us as nearly as possible how many of foreign nationalities, stating number of each nationality, reside in Mexico City; also remind Americans of the President’s advice to Americans to leave Mexico until conditions become settled. If evacuation occurs encourage the Mexican citizens of influence to organize and preserve order. We are urging Carranza not to permit an interruption of traffic between Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
