SAYS MEXICAN WAR BOOMERS ’ GOT $20,000 YEAR Border Probe Witness Tells cf American Rights Associa tion’s Work. SENTIMENT AT ODDS By CHEBTEB M. WRIGHT, NEW YORK. .Tan. 30.—1 t costs SIOO per year, and whatever else you want to jrire, to be an active member of the Na tional Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico, according to the testimony of Executive Director Charles Hudson Boynton, before the Fall committee, which is investigating the Mexican situation for the senate. Boynton is paid $20,000 a year for his work. There are "between 130 and 140 active members. Associate members bring the total up to about 2,000. As sociate members pay $1 per year. It is this association that conducts the propaganda in the United States for American owners of oil wells, mines and other property In Mexico. Boynton says that expenses are met by dues and as sessments. He made public no record of assessment levied. DISAVOWS DESIRE FOR INTERVENTION. This association disavows any desire for American intervention in Mexico. When I asked one of its representatives in Washington what the association had in mind as a proper means of “protect ing American rights” In Mexico, he said he didn’t know. I asked why they didn’t come out plainly and openly for inter vention, and he said the members “couldn't agree” on such a proposal. It may be accepted as a fact that some members of the association oppose inter vention unequlvocably." I got in the Washington office another brilliant bit of comment. I had asked for news stories furnished to the press by the association during the senate com mittee hearings. I was given a bundle •f "copy." “Have you got any copies of feature •y liman interest stories that I can t*ttr I asked. "No,” was the answer. “We started to put some color Into the stories, but as the hearings went along we cut out the color.” In the New York office the working methods were explained carefully. Use of the word “intervention” 13 avoided. Little press matter is issued from the New York office. Some thirty-four pieces In a year. I was told. “HAND-OUT COPY” PASSED TO PRESS. But issuing prepared “hand-out” copy Is the method of second-rate publicity men. And Boynton’s office is no second rate office. This office sees to It that the newspapers learn about things that happen—atrocities, for example. It sees that the state department is informed. It sees that the press is informed. In formed, that is, of what th eassociatlon. wants published. “Digging it out of the state department” has constituted much of the association's publicity work. “The murder map” and the “disorier map” were Issued by this association to show how bad conditions are in Mexico. The "murder map” shows in regular "X marks the spot” fashion how many American lives have tbeen lost in Mexico since 1910, a period of ten years. “Map shows 65 1 American lives sacrificed to Mexican lawlessness,” says the caption. Examination of the tabulation shows that all kinds of killings, including ci vilian murders of the ordinary criminal Character, are included in the list I was assured that this story was pub lished widely by newspapers. This map and tabulation was released for publica tion on Dec. 14. t For Nov. 16 the “disorder map” released. The caption over this map was, “Map proves unrestrained reign oj rebellion and outlawry throughout Mex ico.” A sub-caption refers to the “out rages” shown on the map. PROPAGANDA OF PROVOCATIVE KIND. This map and tabulation constitute a piece of provocative propaganda, for the reason that while the heading declares positively that rebellion and outlawry are “unrestrained," the tabulation con tains a large number of “outrages” which consist of clashes between Carranzis f u troops with rebels in the Mexican gov ernment’s campaign to suppress and wipe out banditry, rebellion and outlawry. A count of the "outrages” shows that in forty-six of the cases listed the “out rage” consisted of aggressive action of federal troops against bandits, rebels and outlaws. How these instances of restraint got into a tabulation of “un restrained rebellion” is unexplained. “Rebels in vicinity” and “rebel raid” characterize many of the “outrages.” The tabulation is made up from reports U Mexican newspapers. MnJ. John G. McDonnell, retired, repre senting the association on the Pacific coast, made this statement in an inter view real into the Fall committee record: “Mexico is a haven of refuge to which the I. W. TV., which is an alias for an archists, were sent to be tutored by Ger man propagandists. The product of this Joint labor of anarchy and wultur was bolshevism, which was first put into ef fect in Mexico in ail its details, even to public ownership of women and corrup tion of children. Bolshevism was trans planted from Mexico to Russia, where it Is now bearing Its perfect fruit. From Its original source in Mexico its evan gelists of anarchy hope to introduce it In the United States. They have made no little progress.” HaVe All The Ned ' PLMROI/S All The Time Here’s Your Order Blank Twelve Best Sellers From January List I Left My Door Open and My Daddy Walked Out (Fox Trot) SI.OO There’s a Lot of Blue-Eyed Marys Down In Maryland (Fox Trot) j*. . .SI.OO Old Fashioned Garden (From Hitchy Koo— 1919) (One Step) $1.25 Royal Garden Blues (Fox Trot) SI.OO 80-La-Bo (Oriental Fox Trot) $1 25 I'm So Sympathetic (Fox Trot) !.!! .! .. sl*2s The Yellow Dog Blues (Fox Trot) .!!!!!!!si’oo Bless MySuwanee River Home (Fox Trot) i'ok You Are Free (Waltz) ] 2“ That Naughty Waltz (Waltz) Sl’2^ DARDANELLA (Fox Trot) !*.!!!!'.! $125 Dreamy Amazon (Waltz) !!!!.!!!' $1!25 The Starr Piano Cos. manufacturers PIANOS-PLAYER PI AMOS -PHONOGRAPHS GENNETT RECORDS PENN.ST vf^ TWO MEN HELD AS STILL MAKERS South Bend Tinsrdths Ar rested by Federal Officials.
