Carranza should give assurances that these taxes would not be reassessed and collected and that if he did not give these definite assurances at once delay In our evacuation might ensue. We did not say that we would not get out. but that lie should give this assurance: You will also please call to Gen. Carranzas attention the fact that there is in Vera Cruz a large number of socalled refugees. among them many priests and nuns. who came there because of apprehension as to their personal safety while civil strife prevailed in Mexico. This Government earnestly hopes that Gen. Carranza will be willing to announce that the Mexican central authorities will not countenance or permit any wanton mistreatment of these people. but will assure them that protection which an enlightened and orderly Government affords to individuals within its jurisdiction.
