Washington, Nov. l4.-Disclosuca
of large orders for arms and am
munition placed by Mexico in Europe,
were followed today by revelations
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 imm-
grafton service and the departm ent
of justice are both concerned at the
influx of Russian radicals and other
aliens of "red" tendencies over the
! Mexican border. Furthermore, gov
eminent agents have traced much
red propaganda over the Mexican
line.
A letter written October 23 by Ra-
mon P. De Negri, Mexican consul
general in New York, to Flavia
Borquez, a Mexican senator, en-
dorsing the principle of "nationaliza-
ton" has come into the hands of
the government and already has been
called to the attention of the state
department by at least two senators
as showing De Negril's association
with radical socialists" in the Uni
ted States.
In the opinion of officials here
the publication Of De Negri's letter
may lead to an embarrassing situa-
ton. 1t is known that the senators
who called the attention Of Secretary
Lansing to it recommended cancella-
ton Of the consul generals exequa-
tur.
Government investigators have re-
ported that radicals seemed to have
first attracted to Mexico by certain
ultra modern" provisions of the
new constitution. De Negri, in his
letter, writes that "only Russia by
Matchmaking lands, has gone further
than we have"
De Negri's letter, as it comes to
the governments hands, says in It's
principal parts:
ut would not only be sad. but even
criminal. that we should abdicate our
naturalization policy through the
threats of Wall street capitalists. l
believe this is an ideal time in which
to assure Mexican petroleum once
and for all, since it means nothing
less than our greatest wealth, 80
coveted by foreign interests.
Only Russia Goes Further.
"You are probably. familiar with
the statements made by George Creel
to our good friend, Manuel Carpio,
on President Wilson's views with re.
gard to the naturalization of petro-
leum in Mexico.
"Steps are at present being taken
in the United States by the working
classes, radical socialists. honest in
tellectuals. ETC., with view not only
to Matchmaking natural resources but
to socializing industries in general.
For your satisfaction and that of the
members of the constitutional assem-
bly,, l must say that you set the ex-
ample; l can testify to this, for I
have been on the scene of action
since 1914.
'In 1917 I was in Washington in
charge of our embassy when you
took the transcendental step Of ma
tionalization. From that moment I
made up my mind to engage in propa-
ganda favorable to US by having our
constitution printed in English. /
have talked with prominent sociolo-
gists of the United States, England
and Russia and they have all inform
with enthusiasm in those countries.
especially those portions dealing
with labor and with article 81. Only
Russia, by Matchmaking lands. has
gone farther than we have. This is
what we lack to assure our economic
independence, the basis of sovereignty
hof all peoples. You will also have
seen in the press that England has
nationalized it's coal mines, and that
similar steps are being taken in
France.
Spread Red Propaganda.
"The social movement in the Uni
ted States is of such Importance at
the present time that from one mo-
ment to another there may be a
change in general order things.
! There is terrible dislocation between
capital and labor. The Cancellation
conferences between industrials and
workingmen have failed. Throughout
the United States there is clamor
for the specialization of industries. It
would be sad if we, who initiated the
movement. should abandon it through
a weakening of principles or through
unfounded fears. I believe you
should UNFOLD the principle Of ma
tionalization against wind and
weather, not permitting, on any
ground whatever the present owners
of oil wells to fail to recognize the
sovereignty of our nation to the sub
soil in general, including their prop
critics.
