Washington. Aug. Activities Of
Germans or German from
the United States across the Mexican
Lowar California border, where a w:rc-
less plant is located, are under investi-
cation by government agents. .
Government officials here profess not
sto know how the Germans reached
the town from the United States. since
the railroad from Yuma to Calexico Is
carefully watched. It is suspected
they crossed the border at a number of
points In the sparsely settled COM
Whnities OF the Imperial valley or, the
desert thru which the California Mex
leo boundary runs. 1t Is almost Inn
possible to- control every mile Of the
forlorn boundary country, officials say.
Most Germans In Mexicali are be-
lieved to AaSe been part Of the defunct
German proPaeanda system in the
United States In the face Of prosecu-.
tion and tho breakdown Of their system
It is believed they have scurrled to
Mexico and chosen Mexicali as a rem
dezvous because 1t is less frequented
than other border towns on the Texas
and New Mexico lines. A>
g From Mexicali many Germans nave
gone to Guymas, on the west coast Of
Mexico. according to reports received
here, and fromsthere by rail to Mexico
City and other parts Of the country
where German propaganda might be
promoted. u
Enemy interests with considerable
funds may have financed the exodus,
officials believe, inasmucA as appar-
emily the groups assembled at Mexirau
have plenty of money. There arc some
indications that this money came origi
.nally from German business firms
which transferred their funds to Mex
leo soon after the United States
entered the war and long before the
enemy property custodian took charge
Of German busipess.,
There are ample laws to forbid Ger
mans from leaving the country. but
most OF those found at Mexicali are
naturalized Americans. A law pro-
thibiting- any citizen from leaving the
country without a passport was en-
acted several months ago. but has, not
been put into effect by presidential
proclamation.
