The Secretary of State to the District Attorney of Webb County, Texas (Valls)
Replying to your telegram of December 14th. General Calles who is traveling through the United States in company with the Ambassador of Mexico has been engaged in diplomatic conversations on International matters with representatives of the Government of the United States.
His diplomatic quality is recognized by the Government of the United States. He is therefore entitled to protection from arrest or molestation while within confines of the United States.
The United States is prepared to take such steps as may be necessary to insure to General Calles the protection which is due him.
I find it difficult to believe that an officer of the law whether federal or state would be willing to take an action which would militate against his diplomatic status.
