By LUDWELL DENNY

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Ab-
rogation Of the Mexican Anti
Smuggling treaty by the United
States re-opened general discussion
today of possible lifting of the
American arms embargo and conse-
qucnt civil war south of the Rio
Grande.
After March % this government
will be under no treaty obligation
to prevent arms smuggling to Mex
lean counter rcvolutionists and the
wav is thus cleared for effective
removal of the embargo.
The United Press understands
President Coolidge has no intention
of acting Immediately. But if and
when Mexico commits an alleged
Overt Act in the oil-land law dis
pute by scizing American property
removal of the arms embargo III re
taliation is considered probable.
There are evidences that the
Gales is in a conciliatory mood and
irving to avoid any such Overt Act.
Mexican Ambassador Tellez today
said he believed the disputes could
be settled by negotiation. Presl-
oent Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg
have expressed similar hopes.

By M. D. TRACY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


COURT ROOM, DETROIT, Mich,
March 23.-The Ford-Sapiro million
dollar libel suit went through q
fighting session today.
Long arguments by attorneys
were punctuated by two clashes be-
tween William Henry Gallagher, Sa-
pros lawyer, and Senator James
A. Reed Of Ford counsel.
The morning session came to q
close with Sapiro himself standing
before the jury, reading attacks up
on him printed in the Dearborn In
dependent which charged him with
conniving with Bolshevists and Com
munsts to promote his own inter,
ests; and referring to the "Jewish
Communistic Program which was
alleged to be designed to do in this
country what it has already done
to Russia
Original manuscripts of Harry Fl.

William }. Cameron, editor of the
Independent, which is Ford s weekly
magazine, testified he had searched
his office last night and could not
find the manuscripts.
Henry Gallagher, Aaron Sapiro s
chief counsel, had demanded pro-
duction of the manuscripts in court.
Presentation of the alleged hbels,

then resumed by Gallagher.
The defense resumed its policy of

plain to the jury that some of the

only as evidence of malice. Malice,

Under this ruling, an entire arti-

Sapiro read the article personal
", the first time he had joined in
the pleading of his own ease. A.
man of medium stature, dressed
neatly in gray, he stood erect in the
middle of the court room and read
rapidly in clear voice.
The jury heard Sapiro read de-
tailed charges that the Northwest
Hav Growers Association was
mulcted out of large sums; that one
of the organizers in the Walia
Walla district of Washington was
an ]. w. w. agent and that the
1923 crop was sold at less than $la
