MEXICAN MINISTER
 DISCUSSES RAILROADS
President Diaz Admits That American Trusts Are Too
 Strong For Him.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. .9.-There ha.
 been plenty of discussion in cfiicia
 and commercial circles of the franl speech in which Minister of Finance Limantour explained to congress the governments action in buying the Mexican Central railway. Fear of what he styled the great railroad trusts of the United States was the principal reason for the purchase the minister declaring that the govern ment had been forced to enter the railroad field on a gigantic scale. He intimated that the merging of the Ma tional and Central is but the begin ming of the plan, although the repub- lie now owns all the big operating lines in the country
 The minister said: "Gentlemen- You are familiar wit hthe aspect of fered in the transportation question in the neighboring nation. The prob lem there is only phase of the trust question which may be characterized as peril. Those great corporations are being extended every day and ex- pansion has been so pronounced in recent years that it may be said that the question of controlling the trans portation systems of the United States is to absorb as many other lines as possible.
 "The United States, alarmed by the tendency and desirous of initiating a reaction against 1t, has taken action which aims at restraining these or ganizations and checking their con tinued expansion. Under the circum- stances it was natural that we should endeayor to prevent the powerful cor porations in question attacked as they are by all legal means in their own country, as well as harrassed by the pressure of public opinion from com ing hither and seeking to absorb those Mexican railroads which are not al- ready under the direct control of the government"
 The minister summed up his argu- ment as follows:
 Thus, gentlemen. there are three main arguments for the merger: First to avoid friction between the differ ent corporations when tiie two are competing ..nes, or when one of them fears being antagonized by a contest, the government holding controlling interest. Secondly, to avoid the ab- sorption of properties not controlled by the government by one of the great railway systems of the United States thirdly, the prospect of realizing eco
