The Secretary of State to the Secretary of Labor (Davis)

Washington, April 24, 1929.

Sir: I have the honor to enclose for your information a copy of a telegram, dated April 15, 1929, from Mr. Gerzayn Ugarte,56 concerning Antonio I. Villarreal and Raul Madero, stated to be generals of the Mexican insurrectionist forces, who recently took refuge in the United States and who it is said are under consideration for deportation from this country. In this connection reference is made to the Department’s letter of April 22, 1929 regarding Raul Madero.56

I may add that Mr. Ugarte is understood to be an agent of the Mexican insurrectionists and that the Department does not deem it expedient to acknowledge his communication inasmuch as this Government does not treat with the agents of the present insurrection in Mexico.

It is requested that this Department be consulted prior to the taking of any action which may be contemplated by your Department now [Page 402] or at some future date, which may affect the status of Mexican insurrectionists in the United States or their departure from this country.57

I have [etc.]

For the Secretary of State:
Wilbur J. Carr
