The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Mexico (Messersmith)
573. Have heard from appropriate people that the movement referred to in despatch 900245 may start about 25th of this month and naturally to culminate in about 30 days. Have not yet received answer from Bombay in regard to number, types and conditions of people. Our best guess here 500 to a thousand. Am telegraphing again asking that this information be sent immediately. In meantime it would seem wise for you to discuss with committee and for [Page 290] it to determine whether without further information it would be possible for a group of this number to be admitted into Mexico irrespective of the fact that when it is available it will be telegraphed you immediately. Will appreciate advice on results of Guanajuato survey. As soon as we receive more information will communicate with you further.
