Various accounts of confidential
conference between Assistant Secre-
tary Olds and newspapermen were
published in support of the attack.
Coincidentally the Associated Press
was attacked on charge of having
lent itself to the dissemination of in
spired propaganda, and the various
accounts Of Mr.. Old's conversation
with the newspaper correspondents
were submitted in proof of this
charge.
1T is worthy of attention that the
Associated Press dispatch in question
did not contain the various state
ments attributed to Mr.. Olds. 1t only
reported that Government officials
charged with the conduct of foreign
relations were concerned over their
reports that communistic tendencies
were being thrust into American
Mexican relations.
