Memorandum by the Under Secretary of State (Olds) of a Conversation with the Mexican Ambassador (Téllez), December 13, 1927
The Mexican Ambassador called me on the telephone at two p.m. and said that he had had a long telephone talk with his Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that the position of his Government was as he had stated to me in his oral conversation yesterday; nevertheless his Government did not wish to block the investigation and would be willing to have the Consul General appear voluntarily and in his personal capacity, provided that an arrangement could be made whereby he did not appear under subpoena. I told him that I would take the suggestion under consideration and was hopeful that an arrangement along these lines might be effected.
