Washington.-Accord to adyices
from Toxic, Japan has secured from
Mexico the long-sought concession Of
naval base at Magdalena bay, on
Mexican soil. The Monroe Doctrine is
thus violated. Washington believes
Japan has agreed, in return for the
concession, to support the Mexican
government with men and money.
Japanese have long been accredited
with preparing for war with the
United States. Intervention Of the
United States in the Mexican revolu.
tion now seems necessary, and such
Intervention would give Mexico ex-
cuse for appealing to Japan for the
help that Nippon would be glad to
give against the United States.
Americans in Mexico are regarded at
Washington as in desperate straits.
They may yet be crushed by allied
Mexicans and Japanese.
II United States troops should start
south, those allies may cross the Rio
Grande. The Magdalena deal prob.
ably explains the recent doubling Of
United States naval strength on the
Pacific, for which Washington has not
given any satisfactory reason. and
also the request made recently that
all steamers from United States ports
to Mexican ports should be held IN
readiness for any service that the
war and navy departments might ask.
Announcement Of the granting of the
concession also throws new light
upon the shipping to the United
States ambassador in Mexico City Of
an indefinite number of army rifles
and an immense quantity Of ammuni.
ton.
Despite the state departments
formal declaration that 1t has "abso.
lutely no information on the report
that Japan has secured naval base
at Magdalena bay, Mexico, 1t is
lieved here that news Of the move

One year ago the American consul
at Manzanillo reported to the depart

obtain a naval base ostensibly for her
merchant vessels. Publicity and
prompt hints from the administration
that such move would be regarded
as o violation Of the Monroe Doctrine
led to official denials from the Japan.

that date the United States has kept
close watch on every move toward the
granting Of such base to Japan.
While the administration has here.
