GUATEMALA CITY, February a.
The government Of Guatemala has sent
a commission Of engineers by airplane
to survey a section Of the Mexican
frontier, together with engineers from
the state of Campeche, Mexico, In
order to clear UP dispute that brought
about fighting between Mexicans and
Guatemalans on February 8.
DR.. Eduardo Aguirre VelaSquex, sec
rotary Of foreign relations, says that
Guatemalan forest inspectors learned in
January that Smugglers were exploiting
chicle in the territory of Peten, and
that forest guard was sent to drive
out the intruders.
THE situation at present Is this:
Guatemala, believing that La Fama is
within its territory, has pursued men
whom it considers smugglers. The gov
ernor of Campeche, in the belief that
La Fama is within the territory OF
Mexico, demands the punishment Of our
men, because he believes them to be
bandits"
