Nazi Army's 0nrush
Stirs Mexico Toward
Alignment With U. 5.
Settlement Of Oil FIGHT
And Supplying Fuel
To Allies Also Seen
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, June 1.-THE
German sweep across France has
caused the Mexican government to
move closer to seeing eye-to-eye
with Washington on the interna-
tional situation, toward settlement
OF the petroleum fight with Great
Britain. and toward supplying Mex
lcan oil to the Allies.
The gravity of the European con-
flict and its implications for the
democracies Of the Western Hemis-
phere are reflected in the campaign
for the presidential election July 7,
IN the foreign policy and in the
Mexican economic outlook.
Outstanding of the wars effects
are:
l. Growing belief that close COL
laboratlon with the United States
on military, economic and political
questions is necessary.
2. The three presidential candi-
dates have departed from internal
questions to some extent to de-
velop the thesis that Mexico must
choose between democracy and to-
talitarianism.
Fifth Column" Drive Pressed,
3. The loss of world markets, par
ticularly for petroleum, has put
heavy strain on the national econ
omy and increased sentiment for
a settlement of the oil controversy
with Great Britain. (Unoff1cially
the government already Is said to
have out diplomatic feelers through
Washington)
4. The cost of living has increased
causing tension, uncertainty and
unrest.
S. A campaign against fifth COL
umn" elements has been intensified
particularly in the last several days
as the Nazi armies swept across
France.
During the early months of the
war the idea of isolation was domi-
nant in official quarters and in pub
lie discussion. But the German
sweep changed that.
The desire for closer co-operatio
with the United States was given
expression few days ago by Gen
Rafael Sanchez Tapia, one of the
presidential candidates. He pro-
posed a mutual military-economic-
political pact with the United States
Democracy Emphasized.
The other two candidates, Gen
Manuel Avila Camacho and Gen
Juan Andrea Almazan, have tended
more and more to emphasize de-
mocracy as way Of life to be
maintained against Naziism, Ease
ism or Communism in Mexico.
Avila Camacho is the official gov
ernment candidate and Almazan is
the principal independent.
The entrance of Italy into the
war cut off Mexicos remaining ma
jor European oil outlet.
The loss of markets made it nee
essary for President Cardenas tt
curtail part of his revolutionary
program. Among the steps indi-
Gated are reorganization Of the oil
industry and the national railways

A price-control program has been
partly effective in stabilizing the
cost of living currently.
When the war first broke out the
British. French and German propa-
ganda machines went into feverish
action in Mexico and their nation
ais in the republic were urged to
give financial support abroad.
Foreign Program Curbed.
For many weeks the Mexican gov
ernment appeared unconcerned by
the propaganda efforts.
Finally, the publicity became so
great and alarm over the activities
OF foreign agents in Mexico so wide
IN the United States that the Mexi-
can government stepped in.
Developments were swift. Regis
tration Of foreigners was started
Frontier and port surveillance was
intensified. Secret agents were as
signed to counter Espionage.
Arthur Dietrich. press attache of
the German Legation and director
of Nazi propaganda in Mexico. was
notified that he was no longer per
soma grata' with the Mexican gov
ernment. He was requested to leave
as soon as possible.
Tlmon. a propaganda magazine

suspended. 1t was reported the Ger
man newspaper Diario Aleman also

The Mexican press and radio were
requested by President Cardenas to
report as little pro-totalitarian news
as possible

sentative Barry, Democrat, of New
York.
He asserted today that events in
Europe had proved beyond doubt
that large air force is as necessary
and as important in modern war
fare as strong Army and Navy"
An early administration proposal
for building separate Atlantic fleet
was forecast in congressional quar-
tiers, while Senators were discussing
the wisdom of doubling the Army
to total 100000 men.
Inaspuch as the main feet is
being kept in the Pacific, well-in-
formed sources explained that talk
of developing Atlantic defenses
arose from the possibility of Allied
defeat in the European war.
Fast Cruisers Contemplated.
The basis of a second fleet, these
sources said, would be a new type
of fast cruiser of 10000 to $4,000
tons. Representative Mas. Repub-
lican, of Minnesota predicted it
would be heavily-armored, would
have 11-inch guns, and would be
designed especially to withstand
aerial bombing.
Congress has authorized broad
expansion of the fleet. There was
discussion for a time of changing
the program to make possible a
larger number of smaller and faster
ships than first planned, but authori-
tative quarters said the idea had
been given up.
AS for the Army, the suggestion
for increasing it to 100000 men was
voiced by Senator Lodge, Republi-
can, of Massachusetts,. A measure
now before Congress would place the
authorized strength at 375,O00, and
Senator Lodge explained he had
not yet decided whether to press
his larger figure Immediately.
"1t has become apparent" he said,
"that the German victories have
not yet been due to any secret
weapons but to the coordination
of men and machines. Ample man.
power is the fundamental necessity
of an adequate military machine"
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont said he thought 100000
would be good top limit" for the
standing Army, but that Congress
should follow general staff recon-
mendations.
