With reference to the letter from this Department
ran of July 27th 1911, relative to the China Commercial
Company's Claim against the Mexican Government,
I am
directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you
herewith, to be laid before Mr. Secretary Harcourt, a
copy of a despatch with enclosures from His Majesty's
Minister at Mexico.
The Mexican Government, as Mr. Harcourt will ob-
serve, decline to accept the suggestion that they
should appoint a representative to discuss the amount
of compensation payable, and in the circumstances Sir
E.Grey would suggest, for Mr. Harcourt's consideration,
that instructions should be sent to Mr. Stronge to urge
reference of the dispute to arbitration, as suggested
in the despatch from this Department to Mr. Hohler of
July 17th, 1911, a copy of which was transmitted to the
Colonial Office in the letter from this Department of
