WASHINGTON, D. c., March L.
Full official confirmation of Germany's
intrigue to ally Mexico and Japan with
her to make war on the United States
as revealed last night by the Associat.
Cd Press, was giyenstedag'at the White
House, the State department and the
Senate.
On the floor of the Senate it was an.
nounced that Democratic Senators had
been authorized to state that the rela.
tons, including the text Of the instruc.
tons from German Foreign Minister
/ Zimmerman to German Minister Won
Echhardt at Mexico City were correct.
On motion Of Senator Lodge the Sem
ate at once took up the proposal to
ask the President to communicate the
facts to Congress officially.
After considerable discussion Sena.
tor Hardwick insisted upon an objec.
ton to immediate consideration of the
Lodge resolution in order that there
might be time for elaboration by the
Foreign Relations committee.
Secretary Lansing authorized this
statement:
1--WE do not believe that Japan has
had any knowledge of this or that she
would consider any proposition made
by an enemy"
AS to Mexico the Secretary said:
I'VE have confidence that Mexico
would not be a party to any such
agreement in view of the friendly rela.
tions existing between this govern.
ment and the de facto government of
Mexico"
Senator Stones request to have the
resolution referred to the Foreign Re.
, lations committee without any instruc.
lions as to when 1t should report was
adopted by unanimous consent.
The text Of the Lodge resolution is
as follows:
sThat the President be requested to
inform the Senate whether the note
signed Zimmerman, published in the
newspapers of the morning of March
list inviting Mexico to unite with Ger
many and Japan in war against the
United States is authentic and in the
possession of the government Of the
United States and IL authentic. to send
to the Senate, II not incompatible with
the public interests, any further infor
nation In the possession of the United
States government relative to the &C
tivities of the Imperial German gov,
eminent in Mexico."'
Senator Stone called the Foreign
Relations committee to meet today to
consider the Lodge resolution. Secre.
tary Lansing took great care, It will be
noticed, to eXonerate both Japan and
Mexico and said this government had
no knowledge that the proposal had
been conveyed through Mexico to ia
pan.
