The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Mexico (Daniels)

22. Your despatch 5974. Utilizing the fact that by paragraph Fifth of Protocol of April 1934 Mexican Government agreed to proceed, [Page 767] at the present stage, with “least possible delay” to conclude the final agreement for the General claims settlement, and the fact that any agreement so concluded must be approved by the Senate, please endeavor to expedite reply to your note of January 13 in an effort to avoid more than a year’s delay in making such agreement effective, since justice to hundreds of claimants, many of them very needy, is meanwhile being deferred.
