FALSE REPORTS ARE SPREAD IN MEXICO

ii was Canada and Cuba, lnstigated
by the United States, who were to
seize various Gulf of Mexico ports
to prevent threatened German sub
marine campaign in the gulf against
entente oil tankers from Tampico
The fact that the ports were not
seized was explained by the news
papers as due to the fact that secrecy
was necessary to the plot, and that
these papers, having exposed the
conspiracy, made its successful com.
pletion impossible
In addition to playing up in extras
these wild yarns, these papers print,
with distortions and misleading head
lines, every piece of news that can
be twisted into intimating that the
United States is constantly schem-
ing to secure a pretext to occupy
either all OF Mexico or the Tampico
oil regions The dominant tone Of
the journals is anti-American, rather
than openly pro-German, although
to peruse their news columns would
lead the reader to believe that the
entente allies every day were on the
point of giving up the struggle.
