made public by Chairman Borah.
The bolshevik leaders have had
very definite ideas with respect to
the role which Mexico and Latin
America are to play in their general

Thus Latin America and Mexico
are conceived as a base for activity
against the United States. Commu,

repeatedly instructed to devote spe-
cial attention to the struggle against
American imperialism In Latin
America and to the organization of

The Secretary quoted an extract
from a report by Tchitcherin, foreign
secretary of the Soviet government,
saying that Mexico gives us a very
convenient political base in America
for the development of our further
ties
The report made at the third ses-
sion of the Union Central committee
in March, 1925, WAS quoted further as
follows:
Renewed Mexican Relations.
I'm America, in this manner, we still
stand before a question mark. But we
have succeeded in re-establiShing dip
lomatic rela tions, which give us a po-
litical base in the new continent, with
the neighbor of the the United States,

Mexico gives us, thus, very conven-

After Secretary Kellogg had COM
pleted his statement before the COM
mittee, it became apparent that he
had failed to change the view of
Chairman Borah in regard to the
administrator policy in Nicaragua.
While Senator aBorah would discuss
in no way the details of the state
ment made by Secretary Kellogg. he
did say, "the facts given by the Sec
retary were facts with which l was
fairly familiar.
The inference drawn from the chair
mans statement was that he still con-
tinued TO disagree with the admins
tration's policy.
Other members of the committee,
however. expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Kellogg had made an excellent
statement, and Senator Moses of New
Hampshire said he believed there
were very few members who were not
impressed by 1t.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, author
of a resolution expressing it as the
sense of the Senate that the American
Marines be withdrawn from Nicara-
qua, left the committee meeting while
Mr. kellogg was still making his
statement, as did Senator La Toilette.
The Secretary was closely questioned
by members of the committee some
of whom. including Chairman Borah.

tons policy in Central America.
Members of the committee have ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the sit

ie0pardy the lives and property of
American citizens. They have also
questioned the assertion made by the
President in his special message to
Congress that Mexico or Mexicans
have furnished the Sacasa revolution.

ttons These matters were gone into
thoroughly.
At the same time members of the
House foreign affairs committee were
taking up group of pending resolu-
tfons, most of them demanding more
complete information about the Mica,
raguan tangle. The committee had
agreed to consider all of these pro.
posals in conjunction with the presi-
Dental message.
A move TO call Secretary Kellogg
before the House committee for ques
tioning tomorrow was blocked by Rep
resentative F'airchild, Republican, New
York.
Before either of the committees met
President Coolidge summoned to the
White House Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the Democratic floor leader
of the Senate. The matter discussed
was not disclosed.
Unlike their colleagues at the other
end of the Capitol, the House commit
