Justifies German Action.
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Berlin, by wireless, March 3.-For-
eign Secretary Zimmerman today JUS
titled Germany's action in seeking to
ally Mexico and Japan against the
United States. Such course, he said,
would be merely defensive measure.
not to be carried out except in case
the United States declared war on
Germany.
Moreover, Zimmerman said, the
course proposed was no more a pilot"
than the movement undertaken by the
United States government to line up
the South American republics against
Germany, as reported by the newspa-
pers.
Zimmerman commented on Ameri-
cas- pro-ally sympathies. He refrain
ed from admitting the authorship of
the letter that was sent to German
Minister Eckhardt at Mexico City, be-
ing careful to state that his discussion
of the matter was based on "Euglish
reports" Of German plot to get Mex
leo to declare war against the United
States and secure Japan's aid"
