MEXICAN ENVOY
GOES TO JAPAN
Mission to Toxic is MySteri-
GUS One and Officials
Wonder.

WASHINGTON, May Is. - On
what mission is Gen. Ramon Itur-
bide Of the de facto government of
Mexico going to Japan?
His visit is causing much specula-
ton among officials Of the govern
ment here. When in FL Paso, en-
route 10 San Francisco Gen. Iturbide
declared this his ultimate destina-
ton was Toxic, and he is quoted
as having said that If Mexico be-
came involved in a war with the
United States his country would be
allied with a powerful nation"
Little significance is placed in that
remark. but the pawning OF van
tage points in Mexico TO Japan is
believed TO be the true object of his
mission. The southern republic is
in great financial distress. the last
slump in the financial market bring
ing the value of a Mexican dollar
down 10 l 1-2 cents in American
currency.
Bankers in this country have re-
rama administration. Not a coun-
try in Europe could come TO the A.
rancial aid Of the revolution-rid-
den country, and the far east is
about the only source from which
assistance might be gained.
Japan itself was in financial
straits until the outbreak Of the Eu-
ropean war. but since then her mu-
milton factories have been working
day and night. supplying arms and
ammunition TO the armies of the al
lies. thereby replenishing the ma
TONS treasury.
Statesmen in this country with
far-sighted ideas on preparedness
have urged the purchase by this
country from Mexico of Lower Cali
fornia thereby gaining control of
Magdelena bay.
1t has long been a known fact
that Japan was eying that territory
enviously as a possible naval and
military base should that country
become involved in war with the
United States.
In his present financial predica-
ment. Gen Carranza can not con-
tinue as first chief of the de facto
government, but should he receive
The financial aid he desires, his fol-
lowers hope the revolution will be
quickly ended and a permanent gov
eminent esta blished.
Now ii is thought that Mexico will
offer TO Japan certain concessions,
which, in case of war with this
country. would enable the Japs TO
realize their long-cherished ambi-
ton, and that to gain a naval base
in the west Japan will furnish
money for Carranza. which could be
used advantageously should the two
republics become engaged in war.
This possible elimination of Gen.
Iturbide's mission in causing grave
anxiety to those in a position TO
realize the advantage Japan would
have in a conflict with the United
States should she have a base at
our southwestern doorway and be
in complete control of Magdelena
bay.
