Recognition withheld until Mexico revives 1917 constitution
Senator Fall told the foreign relations committee a full recognition of the Mexican government should be conditioned on a treaty revising the 1917 constitution. If Mexico refuses, the U.S. should resume action to hold those responsible for harms to Americans and may dispatch armed forces to secure Mexico’s ports and communications.
