Almost Caused War
HEARST ALLEGATIONS United States and Mexico BLAME FOR NEWSPAPERS
By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Received 9.5 a.m. WASHINGTON, Sunday. MIGUEL AVILA, a Mexican half-breed gentleman, who fur--I*l nished the Hearst Press with spurious documents designed to show that President Calles was waging a Bolshevik war against the United States, was charged with forging these documents himself.
the Senate Investigating Committee completed its inquiry, it exonerated, as falsely charged, everyone named in the Hearst documents, and will present a finding apportioning the blame as among Mr. W. R. Hearst himself, his detective, and the editors who handled the story that in a few days brought the United States and Mexico unpleasantly near war. The crowning evidence that forgery
had been committed came when authentic State papers, written and signed by President Calles and other Mexicans credited with having written the Hearst documents, were produced before the committee.—Sun. The Hearst Press accused four United States senators of receiving money from Mexico, and President Calles, of Mexico, of attempting to wage a Bolshevik war against the United States. The Senate appointed a committee of investigation, whose finding is now announced.
