Washington, Dec. 9.-Among the
committee in making an investiga-
ton of the Mexican conditions, and
which the committee regards as re-
liable, indicates treaty negotiations
between Mexico and Japan. The
document in possession of the COM
mittee states that one high official
of Mexico would communicate to an
other big official that 1.-The treaty
with Japan is coming along" and
that the writer is convinced of the
great advantages it would bring
Mexico for it's national integrity"
reference is contained in another
document to the support the Mexi-
can government proposes to give
German commercial initiative in
Mexico
Senator Falls comment on the
plan of revolutions disclosed in the
minutes of the Lodge meeting is that
1t would appear "preposterous, ridic-
ulous and so fanastic as of itself to
deserve little attention were 1t not
first, for the fact, that it is similar
in all essentials to the plan of San
Diego, which the only judicial trib-
unal passing upon the question de-
clared to have been backed or sup
ported by armed forces. through a
state of war by V. Carranza in 1915;
and second, were it not for the fact
that the plan of San Diego itself ante
dating, and this present plan follow
ing, were and are in exact line with
the note of June 10, 1917, from Zim-
mermann to Won Eckhart, then am
bassador from Germany to Mexico"
Promised Mexico Report
The Zimmerman note contained
the paragraph: I'VE Germany
shall give general financial support
Ito Mexico) and it is understood
that Mexico is to reconquer the lost
territor in New Mexico, Texas and
| Arizona" In this connection the
memorandum called attention to the
suggestion in the Zimmerman note
that Mexico communicate with
Japan suggesting adherence to the
| plan and offer her mediation be-
tween Japan and Germany.

and subsequent to- the date fixed for
the uprisings under the plan of San
! Diego.
The New Mexico Senator support
ed his recent charges that radical
! literature advocating the Soviet form
| of government was being distributed
by the Mexican embassy and the
consulates of Mexico in the United
States by an account of the manner
| in which the information was Sc
Cured. A copy of the booklet was
procured from the embassy by mail
ing a request to the embassy, the
Senator said, adding that admission
by the author, Arthur Thomson, that
the Mexican government was aiding
him in the distribution of his article
and that it had secured from him
several thousand copies, is contained
in a letter written in reply to one
signed by a German name.
Secures "Blue Book"
The committee, the memorandum
said, has obtained possession to what
President Carranza calls his blue
book" At various places in this
book attention is called to "the op-
pressive policy" of the United States
towards Mexico and stress is laid
upon the assertion that President
Carranza has resisted every such en-
croachment and in every instance
from the first proposed Niagara
conference down to and including
the American protests as to nation
alization of lands and other proper
ties" that he has been successful by
refusing absolutely to yield in any
respect to the demands" of this Gov
ernment
The memorandum also contained
a copy of a letter said to have been
written by CarranZa to Miss Hermila
Galindo, who had written book en-
titled 1.-THE Carranza Doctrine" The
Mexican presidents note to her con-
cerned a second book which he said
he wished her to write and with this
in view he was sending her copy of
the blue book" which he said would
justify the attitude of his govern
ment in it's systematic hostility to-
wards foreign spectators, especially
Americans and English"
do not forget my injunction"
Carranza wrote, "to describe in lively
colors the tortuosity of the Ameri-
can policy with relation to our coun-
try, causing the figure of Wilson to
stand well out as the director of that
| policy"
