The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Mexico (Morrow)
78. Department’s telegram No. 248, July 30, 1926. As stated in last paragraph of memorandum transmitted with Department’s instruction No. 1164 of January 8, 1927, it was decided in December 1926 to re-impose embargo upon aircraft of every description destined to points in Mexico without regard to the purpose for which such aircraft may be intended. Since December 1927, however, Department has approved in every instance requests for exportation of commercial airplanes. With a view to fostering commercial aviation between the United States and Mexico, Department has now decided to eliminate commercial aircraft from list of articles destined to Mexico requiring individual export licenses and has requested Treasury Department to notify Collectors of Customs at border points. Please request Consul General to inform all consular officers in Mexico.
