S. correspondents excitedly suggested that the Roosevelt "good neighbor" policy may have convinced Mexican workers that they can take U.S.property with President Roosevelt's tacit approval, replied: "Neither President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Cordell Hull nor I knew about the expropriation in advance. . . .
