Dear Mr. Olds: With reference to the attached list I may say that the following have protested against the embargo as at present enforced and have requested that the embargo be modified, on the ground that munitions of war are being imported into Mexico from Europe and that, therefore, the effect of the embargo has a detrimental effect upon American business and enterprise:
