Senator Swanson Declares
Insidious Propaganda

Washington. Feb. p. - Senators who
participated in the filibuster which re.
suited in the defeat OF the armed ship
bill last session were assailed by Senator
Swanson of Virginia, an administration
leader, in speech yesterday as having
destroyed 1.-THE last chance for peace be-
tween the United States and Germany.
BY this action, Germany was convinced,
he said. that we did not have the conr-
age to defend our rights and that no in
Jury she could infict would result in
warfare.
This small group of willful senator's"
Senator Swanson declared, "was respon-

at this critical time the will of the
American people Convinced by defeat
of the measure for armed neutrality that
the United States was too craven to
fight, hardly had Congress adjourned be-
fore Germany commenced the enforce

After reviewing the causes which led
to Americas entrance into the war, the
senator declared that there is insidious
and reasonable propaganda now being
conducted in this country, designed to
produce dissatisfaction and patriotic
lethargy in order to secure German
made peace.
Engaged in spreading this pernieious

MEIGANS DETECT
TRICKS OF GERMANS
Attempts to Foment Spirit of Rancor
Against United States Are Proving
to Be Boomerangs.

Mexico City, Feb. 81 Correspondence
OF the Associated Press False and
alarming reports being printed by anti
American, pro-German papers here, are
beginning to prove something of boom
erang, despite the clever loopholes left
for papers to crawl through when subse.
quent events prove their accusations
groundless. So often have the German
propagandists cried wolf" without that
animal appearing that even those Mex
leans most distrustful of the United
States are beginning to doubt not only
the accuracy of stories aimed at foment-
ing trouble with Uncle SAM but the en-
tire contents of their cable pages.
Recently one newspaper announced
under big headlines that American troops
were on the point of being landed at
Tampico. They were not landed, how
ever, and the paper was forced to drop
this lead, seemingly having neglected
to frame an explanation in advance
should its news prove false. Later, how.
ever, this defect was remedied. This
time ii was Canada and Cuba, instigated
by the United States, who were to seize
various Gulf of Mexico ports to prevent
a threatened German submarine cam
paign in the gulf against entente oil
tankers from Tampco
The fact that the ports were not seized
was explained by the newspapers as
due to the fact that secrecy was neces- |
sary to the plot, and that these pa
pers, having exposed the conspiracy, |
made its successful completion impossi
ble
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 scheming to secure
pretext to occupy either all of Mexico
Or the Tsmpico oil regions. The dom
nant tone of the journals is anti-Amer
can, rather than openly pro-German, al
though to peruse their news columns
would lead the reader to believe that the
allies every day were on the
point of giving up the struggle.
