resolution to the State Department
IL not an unusual procedure. On
official reports, however. indicate
that the State Department would
prefer not TO have an Investigation
Of the scandal at this time. These
reports formed the basis Of talk In
Congressional circles.
Quite aside from what may be the
attitude Of the State Department In
regard to the Congressional investi.
cation of intrigues Of the oil In
terests in Mexican plots. washington
Is entertaining various and sundry
representatives Of the moneyed
groups that want to block the probe.
These interests are spreading the
word that there viii be no investtga-

Friends of w. 10. Buckley, head OF
the American Association for the
Protecticnl OF American Rights In
Mexico, on his leaving Washington
a few days ago, quoted him as say

would be no Congressional inquiry
into OIL and its revolutionary ramifi'

to guard against the pressure being
exerted by the OIL brigade. 1t IL

Mexico are being spread with the
purpose Of having an effect on
Washington, .. ..a.
The list Of ,reyolationists includes
leaders of factions who are known
to have been and who are bitterly
opposed to each other In several in

concilable in their own circles, could
not be induced to join any move

Blanco, Pablo Gonzales, Ignacio Bo-

as being ready for the movement.
