The negotiations were conducted by
Albert Turrettini, general manager OF the
Banque de Paris ct Des Pays Bias who
was assisted by the Mexican minister OF
finance, Adolfo De La Lama
Some curious points Of view developed
at the conferences Of the bankers here,
az to what might happen in the event Of
default In the interest on the Mexican
debt. One view which was strongly sup
ported by financiers who disapproved of
Washington's policy toward Huerta, was
that, as the loan of 1910 is secured by 81
per cent OF the Mexican customs and the
loan of 1913 by 80 per cent it would be
the duty and the privilege Of the Euro
pean governments. whose subjects hold
the bonds, to seize the custom house by
lect the interest themselves.
The bankers holding this opinion also
affirmed that 1.-The United States govern
ment could not blockade the ports of Mex
leo, without destroying the value Of the
customs receipts mortgaged to foreign
bond holders."
These arguments will be presented
