French Lose Heavily
in Mexico and Blame
the United States

Paris. France. June 22-Events in Mexico
are followed with an almost painful interest
by French investors. because hundreds OF
million Of dollars in French money have
been sent to Mexico. Some indication OF
the enormous losses suffered by French
finance on account OF the troubles in Mex
leo may be found in comparing the present
values Of shares in Mexican banks. which
are largely held in France Thus:
National Bank Of MeXico-Nay. 1910, 1245
francs; May, 1914. 499 francs.
Bank Of London and MeXicO-AIay 1910.
107 francs; May. 1914. 26l
Central Mexican bank-Iay 1910 517
francs May. 1914. 9.5O.
The principal cause for the criticisms OF
the French press Of the policy followed by
the American government toward Gen. HUI
erta is in the enormous losses which French
investors have had on account Of the dis
order in Mexico. The idea was accepted
more than year ago that II the United
states should recognize Huerta he would
be able 10 pacify the country The United
states Is therefore held responsible indirectly
for the disappearance from the French point

dollars In values belonging to the French
