further delay from the Mexican side
of the Atlantic City conference. Its
patience is at the breaking point and
the next few days may bring import
ant developments. The Mexicans will
be told emphatically. in language
stripped OF all diplomacy, that the

are continued.
BY such means, the administrators
hopes to force a peaceful agreement
on vexatious problems between the
two nations. The border patrol plan
is but part Of what this government
hopes to accomplish. Primarily, how
