Note to Carranza Demands US Troop Stay Until Mexican Authority Proves Control
Wednesday's Daily reports a sharp note replying to Carranza's demand for withdrawal of US troops from Mexico. It refuses to withdraw until the de facto government demonstrates the ability to protect Americans along the border from bandit incursions and rebukes Carranza for an insolent tone. The note warns that continued defiance could bring grave consequences, and emphasizes the US commitment to national rights and border security. It suggests the Mexican press inflames tensions more than the American press and asserts the US stance to prevent further invasions and remove the danger to Americans.
