HC Deb 14 October 1915 vol 74 c1474
11. Mr. WILLIAM YOUNG

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what information he has in regard to the reported recognition by the Government of the United States of America of General Carranza as de facto President of the Republic of Mexico; and, in the event of such recognition having been given, what course His Majesty's Government propose to follow in regard to the matter?

15. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received official intimation of the recognition by the United States Government of General Carranza as President of the Mexican Republic?

Lord ROBERT CECIL

According to my latest information the United States Government have not yet reached a definite decision as to the recognition of Carranza. Hon. Members will therefore understand that His Majesty's Government must reserve the question of their attitude for further consideration.
