President Wilson Answers Senate on Carranza Recognition
President Wilson sent to the Senate a letter from Secretary Lansing explaining the events leading to recognizing the Carranza government and listing 159 Americans killed in Mexico and along the border in six months. He declined to publish diplomatic and consular reports, citing public interest and sensitive content. Lansing said Carranza offers adequate protection to Americans. The data shows 76 Americans killed in three years and 16 soldiers in the prior period, plus civilian and soldier deaths on American soil. Senator Stone moved to table and print the report. Senator Fall lamented the absence of full diplomatic reports and anticipated debate on Mexican matters and Fletcher's ambassador nomination.
