 APPENDIX C

A STATEMENT REGARDING THE MEXICAN RAILWAYS

The Mexican News Bureau in Washington recently sent to the newspapers of the United States propaganda notes attempting to disprove statements made in articles of mine which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post.

Copies of these "News Notes" follow:

NEWS NOTES FROM MEXICAN NEWS BUREAU, 613 RIGGS BLDG., WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1917

Railroad Repairs and Recognition

Those who are acquainted with the condition in Mexico and who have followed the steady march of events in that country during the past six or seven years, have been surprised at some recent statements appearing in the Saturday Evening Post of October 6, by Carl W. Ackerman, regarding that country. One is to the effect that: "For seven years practically no repairs have been made on any of the railway lines—either those owned by the Government or those owned abroad and operated by the authorities."
