Fallacy About Cut Finer

The Mexican protest with relation
to the situation at Breckenridge
dealt with future and not a past
event and lacking information as to
the conditions prevailing there, the
State Department not alone asked
that the governor investigate and
report. but urged that every protec-
ton be accorded to Mexican Nation
ais who might be in danger. The
Mexican embassy had been inform
ally advised Of the action taken in
