The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan)

60. Your October 24, 4 p.m.

This Government is giving careful consideration to the Mexican situation, but has reached no definite decision on question of recognition of present régime.

You may, however, inform the Minister for Foreign Affairs that this Government is highly gratified to receive this renewed assurance that the Brazilian Government desires to cooperate with this Government in its policy regarding recognition of the present Government [Page 192] of Mexico. It therefore hopes that the Brazilian Government may deem it desirable to postpone temporarily the taking of any action which would constitute recognition of the present Mexican Government, such as the reception of the newly accredited Mexican Minister to Brazil. The Government of the United States will be glad to advise the Brazilian Government when it determines to recognize the new government of Mexico, before taking action in that sense.
