FROM MEXICO
News of Mexico's Arming Is
Followed by indications
That Red Agitators Use
Mexico as Headquarters
[Republlcan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Disclo-
sures of large orders for arms and
ammunition placed by Mexico in Eu-
rope, were followed today by revela-
tions tending to show that the reds
underground line" from soviet Russia
to the United States runs by way of
Mexico.
1t became known that the immigra-
ton service and the department of JUS
tice both are concerned at the influx
of Russian radicals and other aliens
of red" tendencies over the Mexican
border. Furthermore, government
agents have traced much red propa-
ganda over the Mexican line.
A letter written October 23 by Ramon
P. De Negri, Mexican consul general
in New York, to Flavia BorqueZ, a
Mexican senator, endorsing the prin-
ciple of naturalization" has come
into the hands of the government and
already has been called to the atten-
tion of the state department by at
least two senators as showing De Ne
girls association with radical social
lists" in the United States.
In the opinion of officials here the
publication of De Negri's letter may
lead to an embarrassing situation. 1t
is known that the senator's who called
attention of Secretary Lansing to 1t
recommended cancellation of the con-
sui generals exaquator.

| further than we have"
De Negri's letter. as It comes to thu
governments hands,. says in its prin-
cipal parts:
