Washington, lar Additional
interest in the Mexican situation both
present and past was lent today by the
publication of the details of a proposed
treaty negotiated more than half a
century ago between the United States

ratified would have authorized the
United States ito intervene in sup

my Dear Gompers: I have en-
deavored by wire and letters to state
a few facts Of interest to you. in re-
gard to. the conditions now existing in
Germany. Not knowing, however,
whether my communications reached
you, am handing this letter to
Brother Meyling, Ian American, who
has been employed in. our office for

lean press news about our conditions
here are absolutely false, in my prewi-
Gus communication to you. You have
no doubt, meanwhile received further
proof of this statement, for, the, truth
must have been published by now
even in your country. I therefore,
refrain from repeating previous state
ments. - J
You may rest assured that we have
done everything possible to preserve
peace, and to prevent war, but. ,un-
fortunately our power Is as yet too
limited andyw we have not been able to
make this terrible war impossible in
which almost all Of our civilized ma
tions Of Europe are involved. Even
Japan has declared war against us, a
fact to be proud of in a. certain sense,
although I doubt whether: this can
also be said for those who pushed the
Japs 'on the warpath. s. III. Z. =. Z:
