U S Plans To Ask New Treaty With Mexico
Senator Fall told the foreign relations subcommittee that full recognition of the Mexican government should be withheld until a treaty revising the 1917 constitution is agreed upon. If Mexico refuses, the U S may renew recognition with a definite reckoning against those blamed for American sufferings, and possibly dispatch an armed force to secure routes in Mexico. The plan also calls for not recognizing Governor de la Huerta until his selection is approved by the Mexican people and shown to be stable and treaty-compliant. The report was directed to the senate by the foreign relations committee for later handling.
