"Will some one tell me when and where mexico has ever."

Don't forget that little letter the chancellor of Germany sent to the Mexican president offering to "share the spoils" of the United States if Mexico would attack from the South during WWI.

This little bit of history is almost as hidden as the soviet cables.

I think it was the Zimmerman(sp?) letter.

FROM 2nd from London # 5747.

"We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States of America neutral. In the event of this not succeeding, we make Mexico a proposal or alliance on the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous financial support and an understanding on our part that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of the above most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain and add the suggestion that he should, on his own initiative, invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate between Japan and ourselves. Please call the President's attention to the fact that the ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace." Signed, ZIMMERMANN.

I don't think Mexico waited a single minute in turning that information over to Washington.
