BANKING SYSTEM
NEED OF MEXICO
COMMISSION AT WORK
VIII Try to Arrange for Compre-
hensive Scheme to Restore
Nations Finances.


plan for a Mexican national bank
ing system to take the place of the
suspended national bank and the
Bank Of London and Mexico, in Mex
ico City, was outlined to the Ameri-
can members of the Joint Mexican
American commission here by Luis
Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican n
members.
Mr.. Cabrera explained that a mon
etary commission has been created
that will have supervision of chain
OF government banks ald it is hoped
to obtain financial backing, chiefly
from Mexican sources, to support the
scheme.
This explanation was given after
the american members had asked to
be enlightened on the order suspend
ing the two institutions. Mr.. Carera
said the two banks had issued bank
notes far in excess of their metallic
reserve. and recently had refused to
sell to the government exchange on
foreign banks at rates demanded by
the government. The institution had
been ordered to show a metallic re-
serve equivalent to their issue OF pa
per money. he said.
Mr.. Cabrera added that the stem
was largely retalitory as the banks
Of Mexico, chiefly the two in question.
were responsible for depreciation OF
Carranza currency.
Following is the official statement
issued by the commissions:
lon account of the publication this
morning of the fact that two of the
banks in Mexico City had been clos
ed, the Ameican commissioners ex-
pressed their desire for information
upon this matter. The information
was given by the Mexican commits
sioners that this was the result of a
policy which the Carranza govern
ment felt had been carried on by GER
tain of the Mexican banks to .depre-
ciate the government currency, that
these banks were, in fact, the money
trust of Mexico and the govern
ment was anxious to make these
banks more loyal to the purposes for
which they were instituted. These
banks, 1t was said, were the chief
agencies used for the depression of
the paper currency and this was hos
tile to the welfare OF the country.
The government of Mexico is just
contemplating, when these banks
close permanently the establishment
of national banking system SINH
lar to that in the United States. the
foundation for which already exists
i'm monetary commission"
The border situation was discussed
by the commissioners in a casual way,
but without much progress toward an
agreement.
William Phillips. assistant secre-
tary of state. conferred here today
with the American representatives
on his way back to Washington from
a vacation. Counselor Polk of the
state department is expected here to-
morrow.
American and Mexican members of
the commission made a trip this af-
ternoon in a X type United States
submarine. The craft was submerged
for several minutes during the brief
cruise. 1t was the first time the
Mexican commissioners had been in
a submarine.
