game hunter, former United States
Consul General to Mexico, who in
cable message to Washington last
August l relinquished a career cover

TO devote his time to writing" was
found by a representative of The AS
ISOLATED Press here today busiiy en-
gagged in revising the final proofs of
his forthcoming book Not All the
Kings Horses" which, he said. is a
fresco portraying actual conditions in
the country south of the Rio Grande.
Mr.. Chamberlain served the Amer
lean government at Bahia, Rio Janeiro,
Pernambuco, Lourenco Marques and at
Mexico City. His experiences in the
Mexican capital, covering period Of
two years, he said, and what he re-
garded as an individual moral obliga-
ton" to tell the American people the
facts, precipitated his resignation.
Since that time he has been in prac

he wrote as a mere American citizen
and that the State Department was in
no wise implicated in his radical pri-

the Ambassador to Mexico ION a tight

he is a finished diplomat and because
Of the Indulgence Of his questioners."
He charged that efforts were being
made by the CarranZa administration
to capitalize hatred against the United
States and that this included distortion
of friendly American motives, the sup

who had lived in Mexico as long as
