Nasis Arousing u. S. Haired
Of Mexico, Labor Chief Says
Oil Firms Also Join in
Propaganda Drive, Is
Charge of Lombardo.

Vincente Lombardo Toledano, lead |
er Of 1 900 900 Mexican workmen, vis-
tied Washington today and told re-
porters in an interview that an active
Nal propaganda campaign had been
directed toward stirring up hatred
here against Mexico. He also said that
oil companies had participated in the
campaign.
Discussing some OF the "misconcep-
tions" in connection with the recent
appropriation of the oil industry by
the Cardenas government, he gave as
surance that American and British
concerns would be compensated for
their seized properties and asserted
that labor and the "intellectuar peo-
pie of this country are In accord with
the program being effected south Of
the Rio Grande
A disturbing element encountered in
his trip. DR.. Lombardo told the news
men. lis the present campaign against
Mexico that is much more violent"
than when he was in this country two
years ago.
Describing it as a campaign of
SANDER" he laid blame at the door Of
the oil companies and the Hitler gov
eminent.
Mexico is selling oil to Germany and
Italy; than an anti-Jewish campaign
is being conducted by those in power,
and that Mexico has undertaken an
extremely nationalist campaign against
anything foreign"
Hits Oil Interests.
The objectives of the oil interests,
he continued, are obvious; the Nazis,
he said, are carrying on their prop
aganda to make whatever capital they
can out OF the present situation. No
little assistance to these adverse
elements. he said, is being lent by the
Chamberlain government Of Great
Britain.
The government. he explained.
stands on the principle that it will not
sell oil to totalitarian countries or to
companies that will sell to them. "fol
our struggle for democracy prevents us
from aiding enemies Of democracy"
Dr.. Lombardo was visibly perturbet
by the NaN activities in Mexico, but
said that there are practical difficulties
in the way Of stamping them out.
Won't Persecute Foes.
The government, he says, does no
want to be put in position Of per
scouting" those who differ with it
and he explained that much Of tht
activity is subterranean and canno'
be traced to the source, even though
the source is known.
The Germans have . strong hol<
on the coffee industry in Mexico; il

Girl Scouts Hold Program at Camp
 On Visitors Day
Varied Activities Shown at Eagle River Setting
 Yesterday

Many friends and relatives visited the Girl Scout camp at Eagle River yesterday, attending the informal program presenting representative activities at the camp.
 Arriving by boat as well as by cars. visitors observed handicraft work and inspected the girls tents, decorated for the occasion.
 First demonstration on the pro- gram was that of archery, in which Shirley Davis and Grace Berg led their respective teams to tie at three points each. Following this was girls baseball game; active songs. which incidentally caused a great deal of comment; folk dances and swimming. Main event of the evening was a "heavy opera, en- titled Angela of Patagonia which was presented by one of the girls troops.
 Mrs. Vena Crone served cake and coffee to the camp guests, and Ire vor Davis, local photographer, took several rare" snaps of camp life" both in stills and movies.
 Yesterdays "open house" was pro- claimed a huge success. and much credit is due Miss Dorothy Lou Mac Milan and her assistants, Mrs Will liam Swanson, Miss Mary Wildes, Miss Kathleen Carlson, Miss Betty Wilms, and last but not least, the most important person in camp, Mrs. Vena Crone.
 Miss MacMillan regrets that a more varied program couldn't have been presented yesterday. but due to the fact that her luggage, con- sisting of all her camp apparel and equipment has not yet been located, and that everything to date has been more or less impromptu.

Though two contests yet official ly remain to be played off before the first half of the Gastineau Channel Baseball League race is completed, no game has been SC, for this evening; giving the dia- mond artists a needed rest after their sustained work since the sun began to shine.
 Today, League President William A. Holzheimer officially proclaim ed the placing of Red Gray, utii.ty man, with the Elks' team and Wa lace Rogers and a second basem n, Wood, with the first-half cham pion Douglas Islanders.
 Rogers performed for the Island CTS in yesterdays game against the Moose. and even though not yet worked into top form, turned ill a very creditable job both in the field and at bat.
 Woods, the other new Islander. is an unknown quantity, having not yet put in in an appearance on the field
 Red Gray, also has one game under his belt in a new Elks uni form Gray's all-around abilities are well known to Juneau fans, follow ing two years of play in the leagu }, with the Elks and with the Island CTS.
 President Holzheimer also today stressed the fact that strict adher- ence to the rule allowing no one but team members on the players benches is to be required. So many strangers have found their way to the benches during the last several games that at times there have been no place for players. With plenty of other places in the park for spectators, there is no reason why they should be on the benches, and. We are going to keep every one but players and managers off, ' President Holzheimer stated.
