To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her government would be compelled to quiet the apprehen- sions of her people by taking active measures to resent such persistent proposals. "We should be constrained to afford satisfaction to the Mexican people, so sensitive in this matter. We should find ourselves under the stern necessity of adopting restrictive measures in regard to the acquisition by certain foreigners of real estate, concessions, &c. , so far as the engagements already entered into and constituting vested rights may allow.... " It is therefore evident that the introduction into Congress of such resolutions as the one just presented may not be a harmless matter. Independently of exciting ill feeling in Mexico it may prompt retalia- tory legislation or obstruct concessions to American enterprise and capi- tal. Besides, the upshot of the diplomatic discussion two years ago ought to be conclusive upon such schemes. Mr. Romero then informed Mr. Mariscal that Mr. Elaine had assured him that the United States Government had never thought even remotely of acquiring any territory from Mexico; that he himself would favor no such scheme; that public opinion here would not sanction it.
