Declare el senior Sakasegawa
que la mayor parte, 81 no todas las
noticias que respecto a nosotros
Sc reciben en- ell Japon, llegan por
conducto de las agencias de infor-
maciones extranjeras. Y que ell
resultado de este sistema es que
tales noticias cast STEM

Para ilustrar SUI opinion ell Sc
nor Sakesegawa dijo que al ha

Huerta, los despachos que llega-
5 ban al Japon decian siempre "el

oue. ultimamente, con motive de
: la fuga del general Murguia, las

"Naturalmente - agrego nues-

esta razon, amen del deseo de CO.

peno en- conocer Mexico, a fin DE-
poder hablar con autoridad d.
nuestra situacion.
Ademas de esta labor de vera

A. ticias de Mexico, ell senior Sakase
