HC Deb 27 March 1911 vol 23 cc872-3
Mr. REMNANT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he would instruct His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington to urge upon the President of the United States of America the desirability of submitting the Mexican question to arbitration?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I do not know to what question the hon. Member is alluding. The relations between the United States Government and the Mexican Government are, according to my most recent information, quite friendly.

Earl WINTERTON

Is not it a fact that there is a very considerable massing of troops on the frontier, with the object of bringing pressure to bear on the Mexican Government?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I cannot at all admit that assumption, which is neither made by the Mexican Government nor by the United States.
