Recognition of Mexico Held Back Until Constitution Change
Senator Fall urged the foreign relations committee to withhold full recognition of the Mexican government until a treaty revising the 1917 constitution is agreed. If Mexico refuses, the U S could publish notices holding those responsible for American losses to a definite reckoning and possibly send an armed force to reopen all ports and lines of communication. Governor De La Huerta’s recognition would await public approval and evidence of stable administration and adherence to international norms.
