The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Mexico ( Fletcher)

[Telegram]
Washington, July 30, 1918, 6 p.m.

1323. Your 1079, May 17, 1 p.m.1 Department has not received promised note from Foreign Office respecting claims commission. If note has not yet come to you, ask Foreign Office when it may be expected, and press for prompt and, if possible, satisfactory reply. Mexico could do much to improve friendly relations with United States and promote good feeling among injured Americans by establishment of strong, impartial claims commission, which would win confidence and respect of claimants concerned.
