464. Your 584, March 26, 4 p.m. The denial by Carranza of such true charges constitutes an insult to the Government of the United States, some colleagues and myself. I do not know how you regard it, but as far as I am concerned I would like to be urgently telegraphed the full text of Carranza’s reply or at least the part which contains the criticism against myself. While waiting, what I can assert most emphatically is that the attitude of the Diplomatic Corps here and mine has been during such trying state of things as moderate, true, cautious and loyal to their Governments as that of any similar body in any country under similar conditions if ever any country found itself in such situation, probably unique in the history of the world in modern times.
