Vera Cruz, Mexico, July 11.-Queri.
do Moheno, former Mexican minister
of commerce and labor, before depart.
ing for Cuba and the United States
bitterly criticised the policy of the
United States toward Mexico. AS he
sat in a forward saloon of the French
liner Espagne, Senor Moheno looked
through portfolio toward the Ameri-
can flag flying in Vera Cruz and shook
his fist in rage.
The Mexican insisted that he is In
position to produce proofs that there
exists "secret platform" of the Pro
gressive party in the United States,
of which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
was cognizant and in which he con-
Cured, looking to the disruption Of
Mexico and the acquisition ultimately
by the United States of all the terri
tory between the Rio Grande and Pan
ANA.
Moheno said that Francisco Escu-
derro, who was minister of foreign re-
lations in Venustiano Carranza's cabi-
net, has letters which to him are con.
elusive proof of the allegations, and
declared he hoped to be able to pro-
duce these letters at the proper time.
"And not only were the leaders of
the Progressive party pledged to this
policy" he added, "but politicians of
both the Republican and Democratic
parties had promised their secret sup
port. That President Wilson had sub
scribed to this iniqullous conspiracy
is evidenced by his attitude toward
Mexico. Not single American in all
the 100,000,000 population of the Unit
ed States can give satisfactory an
swer as to why those troops are ashore
at vera CIuZ.
To show up President Wilson's
"crime" against Mexico, 'the greatest
in the history Of modern nations" is
the announced object of Senior Mohe-
nos trip to the United States. He ar
rived here on the Espagne from Porto
Mexico and said he would not go
ashore during the liners stay, as Vera
Cruz is to him disagreeable spec
tacle under the existing conditions.
Senior Moheno also announced that
he would publish a book explaining
his connection with Mexican political
affairs since the tragic ten days and
also deliver lectures. By these meth
DDS and through interviews in the
newspapers, he said, he hoped to con-
vince the American people of the enor
nifty of the "crime committed not
only by President Wilson but by all
the political factors in the United
States, regardless of party"
Senior Moheno added that he does
not agree with the opinion that the
oil interests are responsible for the
revolutions in Mexico. On the con.
trary, he ascribed them to a greater
power, namely, the government itself
as directed by its politicians. Neither
did Senor Moheno have any hope, ex-
:ept Of the slightest nature, that the
overthrow of the government of HUI
erta by the Constitutionalists would
be followed by peace.
In his denunciation of President
Wilson, Senor Moheno resorted to
much sarcasm, characterizing him as
the puritan president" Moheno
frankly admitted belief that armed in
tervention in Mexico finally would
come. He promised to reveal on his
arrival in New York the exact method
of the killing of the late President
Madero and Vice President Suarez,
81 will say now that I am confident
General Huerta had nothing to do
with the assassination of these men,
he continued. 1T was a political blum.
der and it was inevitable that it
should result in a revolution which
all thinking men now concede prac
