MEXICAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED BY UNITED STATES
 IN THE OPINION OF GOMPERS

to make certain the fact that the amount of intrigue has been much larger than that ot which we have knowledge,
 In this connection it IS interesting to note the curious conduct of Will liam Randolph Hearst through his various newspapers i'll now attacking and exposing the National Associa- ton for the Protection of American Rights i'll Mexico, the principal or ganized exponent of American irnper- ialism i'll Mexico and the principal organized appetite for Mexican oil and other natural wealth. It is being shown that representatives of this or ganization engaged in an intrigue for the fomenting of an armed rebellion against the government of Presldet Oregon, the leader of which was to have been General Pablo Gonzales. Of course, if this plan had succeeded, Gonzales would have become presi- dent of Mexico and the service tool of the American investment interests.
 At about the time when the Ma tional Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico is shown to have engaged in conversa- tions with General Gonzales, with a view to the overthrow of the estab- lished government in Mexico, the American Federationist published a detailed expose of that association and made clear it's purpose and the character of it's operations. In the American Federationist for June, 1920, in which the National Associa- ton for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico was fully discussed, the following conclusion appears:
 "The conviction Is unacceptable that the association has for its purpose the arousing of suspicion, distrust and enmity in the United States toward Mexico. They may never use the word Intervention and they may de- cry it's use but what need have they to ask for intervention if they can get everyone else to demand 1t! Their propaganda is of character calcu- lated to arouse anger and resentment. Once begin search for information about Mexico in the offices of 347 Fifth avenue, New York City, and you find yourself at the beginning of trail which consists of one denun- citation after another, one condemna- ton after another, one criticism after another, of things Mexican and of ev- cry policy of the government of the United States which seems to indicate desire for peaceful and harmonious relations between the two nations"
 This was shortly after the conclu- sion of the celebrated hearings held by the senate committee, presided over by Secretary of the Interior AL bert B. Fall, then a member of the senate. The National Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico made the fullest possible use of the hearings conducted by Senator Fall and it was freely charged that the association co-operated in the se- curing of witnesses and that the at torney for the Fall committee was on the most friendly erms with the off cers of the national association. The manner in which the hearings were conducted lent much color to these assertions.
 At the time when the National Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico was most busily engaged in propaganda and in trigue, the Hearst newspapers not only were silent, but were publishing
