Justice Dept Reports On Arms Smuggling At Border
The Department of Justice says reporting to Congress on arms smuggling across the border to Mexican belligerents would be incompatible with public interest. Representative Kahn of California pressed resolutions seeking details on evasion of the October 19 1915 proclamation banning arms shipments. He criticizes withholding of information and asserts smugglers and gun runners operate at the border with Villista forces and others, including de facto government troops, obtaining arms through illegitimate channels.
