FROM 2nd from London # 5747.
"We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We
shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States of America neutral. In
the event of this not succeeding, we make Mexico a proposal of alliance on
the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous
financial support and an understanding on our part that Mexico is to
reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The
settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of the above
most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of
America is certain and add the suggestion that he should, on his own
initiative, invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate
between Japan and ourselves. Please call the President's attention to the fact
that the ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of
compelling England in a few months to make peace."
Signed, ZIMMERMANN
