Difficulties Between Mexico And Guatemala Official Documents PDF Download

Excerpt from Difficulties Between Mexico and Guatemala: Proposed Mediation of the United States, Some Official Documents It is alleged, on behalf of Guatemala, that diplo matic efforts to come to a better understanding with Mexico have proved unavailing; that under a partial and preliminary accord, looking to the ascertainment of the limits in dispute, the Guatemalan surveying parties sent out to study the land, with a view to pro posing a basis of definitive settlement, have been im prisoned by the Mexican authorities; that Guatemalan agents for the taking of a census of the inhabitants of the territory in question have been dealt with in like summary manner; and, in fine, that the Government of Mexico has, slowly but steadily, encroached upon the bordering country heretofore held by Guatemala, substituting the local authorities of Mexico for those already in possession, and so widening the area in contention. It is not the present province of the Government of the United States to express an Opinion as to the extent of either the Guatemalan or the Mexican claim to this region. It is not a self-constituted arbitrator of the desti nies of either country, or of both, in this matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
