The Secretary of State to Special Agent Silliman.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, July 16, 1915—5 p.m.

You are instructed to say to Carranza that the general attitude of General Gonzalez in Mexico City has made so favorable an impression that this Government earnestly hopes that the continuation of his good work may not be jeopardized through failure to establish and maintain the equilibrium of currency in Mexico City, which is so necessary to the well-being of the community. His success in conserving the public interests in this sense will signalize him as a man of sound judgment.

Lansing.
