File No. 812.00/576.
The Postmaster General to the Secretary of State.
Washington, December 15, 1910.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th instant, inclosing a copy of a letter from Mr. Charles Q. Davis, president of the Bankers Mining & Developing Co., Columbus, Ohio, and a copy of your reply to Mr. Davis, concerning the articles entitled “Barbarous Mexico,” appearing in the American Magazine.
These articles have been heretofore brought to the notice of this Department and on investigation it was found that there was no law under which action could be taken by this Department against their publication or circulation. I will direct that Mr. Davis be so advised.
Respectfully,
