The Secretary of State to the Mexican Ambassador ( Bonillas )
Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note No. F–493, dated January 7, 1920, in which you make inquiry relative to my decision with respect to the exportation of arms and munitions of war from the United States to Mexico.
In reply, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that, after mature deliberation, it appears to me inexpedient to permit the issuance of licenses to ship arms and munitions of war to Mexico at the present time.
Accept [etc.]
