The Acting Secretary of State to the Governor of the State of New York (Miller)

Sir: Referring to recent telegraphic correspondence regarding the case of the Oliver Trading Company versus the present Mexican regime, I have the honor to enclose a translation of a communication dated November 1, 1922,65 from the representative in Washington of the administration now functioning in Mexico, in which he points out that while the attachment on the property of the Mexican Consulate General at New York has been raised, the order issued by the judicial authorities of the State of New York against the Mexican Financial Agency and the office of the International Railways of Mexico at New York City, as well as the depositories of Mexican funds, still stands; and he requests the Department to exercise its [Page 716] good offices looking to the raising of the order of attachment on the property of the institutions mentioned.

In bringing this communication to your attention, I have the honor to request that you will consider it in connection with my telegram of October 31, 1922,66 concerning the litigation in question, in which the Department requested that the statement quoted therein be placed before the appropriate Court of your State.

I have [etc.]

William Phillips
