File No. 812.512/1402
Mr. Parker, representing American interests, to the Secretary of State
[Telegram]
Mexico City,
September 22, 1916, 2 p.m.
415. Department’s 423, September 18, 6 p.m. Decree dated June 19, 1915, provides:
Taxes paid to pretended authorities before occupation by Constitutionalist forces are considered paid. Rear taxes should be paid within a month from occupation thereafter with penalties. If taxes should have been paid in advance they must be repaid.
Nevertheless I am making investigation for a more recent decree relating thereto.
Parker
