WASHINGTON Behind the scenes, Henry Wallace played quite a part in the Mexican-U. S. agreement to work out joint plans for national defense. It was Henry's job, during his trip to Mexico as vice-presidentelect, to put across some quiet diplomacy with new President Avila Ca macho aimed to smooth out all U. S.-Mexican problems. This he did, and became completely complete-ly "simpatico" with high Mexican officials. However, Henry also brought back a very worrisome picture of Nazi activity in Mexico. Being a farm boy from Iowa, and skeptical about the Zimmer-mann Zimmer-mann affair during World War I when the German foreign office invited Mexico into an alliance against the United States, Henry went down to Mexico as an unbeliever unbe-liever as far as Nazi propaganda was concerned. But he came back, his skepticism gone.
