Mexico Ready To Join Allies
Congress Assent Certain; Acts Against Aliens

U.S. Money
Mexico City, May 23 (AP)
—Mexico, lacked only the formality
of apparently certain
congressional approval today
to become a full-fledged ally
in the war against the Axis.
Mexico's decision was
made rapidly last night as a
wave of public fury swept the
country over the news that
Axis submarines had sunk
the second Mexican merchant
ship within eight days.
Even while awaiting President
Manuel Avila Camacho's formal
proclamation of war, the first in
Mexico's history, the republic put
precautionary measures against Axis
aliens quietly into force and took
its first military steps.

German Field Marshal Fedor von Bock was reported
throwing masses of air-borne troops into the bloody 12-day
battle of Kharkov today, and for the first time the Russians
acknowledged reverses on the southern flank despite a toll
of 15,000 Germans killed there in three days.
