because In condition and appearance
they range above what Is ordinarily
thought of In connection with used

which they are purchased by their

the buyers of exchange cars as in all

at is alleged by Carranza that the
properties have been operated to the
detriment of the nation and to the
exclusive benefit Of the owners, and
that the government hass been de-
frauded out Of benefits which should
accrue to it.
General CarranZa states that as
most of the properties are operated
by foreigners, the privilege they pos
sess of appealing to their govern
ments for purposes of protection gives
occasion for danger of complications
OF an International character which
would prove embarrassing to the gov

cree has been promulgated is assumed
