MEXICO CITY, ina. 25.-By di-
rection of President Plutarco Elias
Gales inform you;
Any person who knows the power
of Mexico compared with the power
of the United States will understand
that 1t is absurd to believe that Mex
leo will go to war against the United
States.
Mexico has no pact with any other
country which can put her under OBJ
legations to unite her forces and
wealth with those of other countries.
Mexico will not go to war volun-
tarily with any other country unless
she is the victim of attack from
which she must defend herself to
retain her independence.
1t is publicly known that Mexico
has no special interest in Nicaragua
and no political designs or schemes
for territorial expansion.
Mexico only maintains, as is
natural. common concern and feel
ings for all countries of the same
origin.
Mexicos reasons for recognizing
the government of Senior Sacasa
have already been explained pub
licly. These are in full accord with
the pact which the five governments
of Central America made in the
presence of representatives of Mex
leo and the United States in treaty
Of peace and friendship signed in
Washington, Dec. 20, 1907, and
which they renewed Feb. Z, 1928, in
which they were obliged to recognize
no government which should appear
by coup d'etat" or revolution.
The secretary Of relations is de
termined to reproduce in the press
all the declarations which have been
made by the Mexican government
against the false charge of Bolshe.
vism in Mexico. Mexico established
relations with Russia on a basis of
mutual respect and consideration,
which is the basis on which it es-
tablishes relations with all friendly
countries.
With such a criterion, it will not
tolerate the abuse of it's good faith
by being used as an instrument OF
artifice and for combinations of in
ternational politics and for propa-
ganda of principles which Mexico
does not maintain.
The social and political trans
formation which is taking place in
Mexico is a result of its own efforts
and the situation Of the country.
Mexico does not wish to stain it's
hopes with the Intervention Of for
eign factors and influences which
are strange and exotic.
Tendencies in the Mexican govern.
ment are directed toward benefiting
the mass of the people in our coun-
try without neglecting the interests
and legitimate rights of any social
class. Exotic methods and ways not
sanctioned by our constitution are
not followed.
The president referred to the
declarations of last Dec. z, denying
once more the accusations of MeXi-
can Bolshevism and classifying the
propaganda as a new fake story
with which conveniently to discredit
this country.
Mexico has declared openly many
times that regarding neither her
laws on petroleum nor any other
would she fail to recognize rights
legitimately acquired by an person,
in violation of any duty of an inter-
national sort, and has requested the
United States to point out cases in
which Mexico has made herself
liable in such a violation, Offering to
bring justice. Mexico firmly believes
that one can not ask more, consider.
ing the resources established by
Mexican laws.
President Gales has formally
agreed with several nations, among
which is the United States, that in
ternational commissions should de-
eide claims which the respective ma.
tons make against Mexico.
A general INSTRUMENTATION con-
vention is functioning in Washing
ton and to this convention all Ameri-
can citizens who believe they have
a right can apply.
Mexico has not closed her doors
for any understanding or agreement
which is based upon justice. The
president considers it necessary to
state that his efforts have been in
tended to guard his responsibility, de-
claring to the world his political
standards and firm intention of at
tributing all his peaceful cooperation
to universal peace-especially on
