The Ambassador in Mexico ( Daniels ) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received June 28.]
Sir: I have the honor to refer to my despatch number 185 of June 7, 1933,62 regarding the illegal entry of Chinese nationals into the United States from Mexico, and to state that yesterday, in the course of conversation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, I referred to my recent note on this subject (dated June 7th)62 and expressed the hope that Doctor Puig might take some further action in the matter.
The Minister replied that he thought the situation had been adjusted, he having received word from Governor Calles of Sonora that … he had given orders to prevent the passage of Chinese nationals northward through Navojoa in the southerly part of the [Page 845] State of Sonora, thus diminishing the possibility of Chinese entering the United States. Doctor Puig said that he had replied to Governor Calles that … in the circumstances he approved of what he had done. Doctor Puig said that he would look into the matter again and see what could be accomplished.
Respectfully yours,
