TRUTH ABOUT JAPS IN MEXICO NOW DEMANDED

WASHINGTON, Saturday, April 27. -- The attention of the House again was called today to alleged encroachments of Japanese interests in Mexican territory in the vicinity of Magdalena Bay.

Representative Raker of California introduced a resolution calling on the President to transmit to the House all information in possession of the government relative to the purchases of land at Magdalena Bay by Japanese and the granting of lumber concessions and fishing rights in the vicinity of Salina Cruz to a Japanese company.

The Lodge resolution never has been answered by President Taft. It calls for substantially the same information as that sought by the Californian.
