Copyright. 1927. bv the Press and Pulitzer Publishing Cos. (New York World and Post-Dispatch.) MEXICO CITY, March 4.—The latest Mexican note to Washington is said to be a_ vigorous de- fense of Ambassador Tellez and Consul-General Arturo Elias, half-brother of President Calles. Both were the objects gf a pro- test received from the State De- partment Monday, based on their nublic explanations of Mexican policies. The American note set forth spe- cific declarations and _ activities which the American Government holds are in contravention of the diplomatic and consular preroga- tives of the two officials. State Department Objects. The State Department took vig- orous exception to what it con- strued as organized propaganda within the United States against the policies of the Washington ad- ministration. Specific mention was made, not only of statements given to newspapers. but of pamphlets alleged to have been circulated at the expense of the Mexican Gov- ernment The American note ‘s considered as approximating an wltimatum., demanding that this_alleged OFEe cial propaganda cease. The Mex- ican Government’s reply, as far as is known here, yields nothing in this respect, Formal Denial That U. S. De- manded Recall. WASHINGTON, March 4. — A formal denial that the United Sta‘es had demanded the recall of Mexi- can Ambassador Tellez. who teft Washington last night for Mexico City. was issued today by Acting Secretary Grew of the State De- partment. Mr. Grew’'s statement follows: “The report that the Mexican Ambassador's recall has been de- manded by the United States is without foundation, and this Gov- ernment has no information *on- cerning the purpose of his visit to Mexico City.” ; The Mexican embassy later is- sued this statement: “On Feb. 25 Ambassador Manuel C. Tellez left Washington on a’ leave of absence because certain family matters required his person- al and urgent attention in Mexico City. On his way § information reached him to the effect that his | J i | brother’s health had improved. which moved him _ to return to} Washington, whence, however, he had to start again yesterday for Mexico because the cireumstances that prompted him to desist from his trip had disappeared.” Tellez left Washington after a day of bustling activity at the Em- Only his private secretary accompanied him to the train. and hi wife and two children were left here. The Ambassador slipped out of Washington early last night, and it was several hours before his de- parture became known. The statement of Grew deepened the mystery of the sudden de- parture of Tellez from Washington last night, and still further en- shrouded in secrecy the circum. stances surrounding the notes ex- changed recently between the two Governments. There were intimations, but no authorized statements, at the State Department that the notes did not concern alleged propaganda activ. ities of the Embassy, but there was no denial that such activities had been under discussion at some recent date SOVIET JAILS BUTTER CHIEF Rv the Associated Preas.
