The Ambassador in Mexico ( Sheffield ) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

Mexico , June 1, 1927—noon.
[Received 5:11 p.m.]

220. Department’s telegram number 129, May 31,⁶⁶ and Embassy’s telegram number 218, May 31.

Since the only embargo now in force in the United States on the export of goods to Mexico concerns arms and munitions it would be pertinent to indicate that any objections on Mexico’s part as set forth in President Calles’ decree of May 30 could be met by immediately lifting this embargo.

Decree has not yet appeared in the Diario Oficial.

Sheffield
