to need the tutelage of a foreign office

the United States as cffecting a new
tic by which the problem OF preventing
Chinese immigration from Mexico into
this country can be regulated.
The Bureau Of immigration has TO
keep agents constantly on the alert on
the border to see that Cinnamon do not
slip into this country from Mexico.
where large numbers OF them are en-
ployed, but with Sir Chentung holding
a diplomatic post at Washington as well
as having official influence at the seat
OF Mexican government the situation
will be improved
Sir Chentung viii be accompanied by

legation. He viii remain in Mexico a
