Proclamation No. 1885, July 18, 1929, Lifting
the Embargo on the Exportation of Arms or Munitions of War to
Mexico
By the President of the United
States of America
A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, by a Proclamation of the President
issued on January 7, 1924, under a Joint Resolution of Congress
approved January 31, 1922, it was declared that there existed in
Mexico such conditions of domestic violence as were or might be
promoted by the use of arms or munitions of war procured from the
United States; and
Whereas, by the Joint Resolution above
mentioned it thereupon became unlawful to export arms or munitions
of war to Mexico except under such limitations and exceptions as the
President should prescribe:
Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, President of the United States of
America do hereby declare and proclaim that, as the conditions on
which the Proclamation of January 7, 1924, was based no longer
obtain, the said Proclamation is hereby revoked.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
