Specifically, as to relations between
Moscow and Mexico, Secretary Kel-
logg quoted from a declaration by
Chitcherin, the bolshevik foreign min
lister who said on the establishment
of diplomatic relations between Mex
leo and the soviet states3
"rhe Mexican government is based

the senators, there is the following
evidence. Mr.. kellogg then quoted
a statement in the Mexican chamber
of deputies on September 8, 1926,
by Ricardo Treyino, labor deputy
as follows:
Il cannot say which are the bet
ter elements. Whether ours or the
reds, or those whom the Russian
brought. And on this opint
1 must say that there are documents
in which it is established that GER
tain red and communist elements re-
ceive money from the same minister
and from the communists at Moscow
in order to work along communist
lines in Mexico against the United
States whereby they would provoke
an international conflict
The state departments concern
that communistic influences in Mex
leo have to do with support from
Mexico for the Sacasa faction in the
present Nicaraguan disturbance In
Nicaragua is based in part on the
evidence which Secre-
tary Kellogg today presented to the
committee and by the governments
that munitions of war
sent from MeXiXco to Sacasa's troops
have been traced close to the Mex1-
can government. Secretary Kellogg's
disclosure today was the first Off
cial statement of the premises on
which the state department had
founded its ccncern over the spectre
Of a bolshevist hegemony.
Among those who oppose the gov
ernment's course in Nicaragua there
are those who disagree with the
state departments view of commun-
istic activities in Latin-America ana
the subject is expected to lead to
prolonged debate III congress, par
in the senate.
In his explanation of the admins
tration's Nicaraguan policy, Secre-
tary kellogg followed the message
which President Coolidge sent to
last Monday. He was In
terrupted frequently by senators
who desired amplification of some
of the accounts which he gave of
certain events transpinng both be-
fore and since American marines
were landed in the Central American
republic.
