Mr. President. a few days after this matter was made public. with the names of these parties ld how they were helpless. I went tO the Secretary of State myself. for the purpose of presenting to him a concrete case which occurred il the town of Cananea. where an American citizen was threatened with deportation by the socalled authorities of that Mexican State. During that conversation tjle same subject was brought tip with me. and it was stated that the Americans who were in Mexico were not Americans who were seeking to make hotnes there and help the country. but they were solely representatives of corporations there for the purpose of exploiting the people. obtaining possessions. getting hold of dollars. and coming back to this country. and that they had no right to demand protection for their property. I declined to discuss the matter. but I returned to my office and wrote the Secretary a letter in which I referred to the conversation.
