 Government officials said the Mexicon Secret Police have un- covered evidence of the activity of these agents but are con- fident the conspiracy can be frustrated before there is any armed arising.

 Also, should the United States become involved, the agents planned to use Mexico as a base for submarine operations.
 The German Legation spokes- man in Mexico City made a flat denial this afternoon that Ger many is participating in any such plot.
