The Ambassador in Mexico (Daniels) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 6.]
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy and translation of the Foreign Office’s note No. 58738 of August 23, 1938,18 which was received at the Embassy yesterday. This note refers to a letter which the Foreign Minister received from the National Hotel Association of Mexico City, pointing out that an anti-Mexican Campaign is being carried on in the United States and particularly in the State of Texas by the oil companies. It states that the campaign is carried on through the filling stations where advice is given to tourists headed for Mexico to discontinue their trips. The Foreign Office requests that provided this is found to be true appropriate steps be taken to bring an end to the campaign. There is also enclosed herewith a copy of the Embassy’s reply18 to the Foreign Office of even date.
Respectfully yours,
