Plan of San Diego and Carranza cited as war threat
Saturday's testimony before a senate subcommittee alleges that high Mexican officials from Carranza downward knew of the Plan of San Diego to restore territories and incite a Negro insurrection, with evidence of active involvement. It argues the Carranza government remained unfriendly or hostile to the United States and that incursions into U.S. territory were ordered by Carranza, constituting acts of war. The piece notes denials by Carranza allies and questions U.S. government response if hostility is proven.
