spondents together that they might

respective governments" A war, they

government. and for that reason would
be disastrous to Mexican labor.

man for the delegation, expressed the

world. Mr.. McGregor said that IN
this period five new copper-smelting
nlants had been constructed and put
into operation. The monthly output
from these lants, he said, averages
