MEXICAN BREAK

Nothing to Warrant 1t, Says

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Rumors
of break between the United States
and Mexico are deprecated at the
State Department. The view there
is that while relations with Mexico
are unsatisfactory in several re-

through friendly negotiation.
The situation caused some discus
sion in Congress Thursday.
Senator Norris, Nebraska, Repub.

State Department inform the upper
house whether the Mexican govern,
ment had refused to permit publ
cation of recent correspondence be-
tween the two governments. Action
was deferred.

sion from Mexico of Protestant and
Catholic missionaries, announced he
would seek action next week on his
resolution demanding that the State
Department give the House all in
formation on the expulsion.
