paid news articles were inserted for
the purpose of creating In France an
anti.Amerlcan sentiment which would
lead the French government to take
diplomatic steps to bring about the re-
cognitlon Of the Huerta regime by the
United states.

junta exaggerated, it is generally un-
derstood that Paris newspapers have
been seem BY the Mexican diplomatic
representatives here to such an ex
tent that antiHuerta news has dis.

isting between the sister republics, the
press and the general public seeming
fly are strangely and persistently mis-
informed as to the American attitude
and frankly hostile things are being
said.

Bryan was to be his minister Of for
