WANTS TO GET MONEY
OUT OF FOREIGNERS

Atlantic City. N. J.. Nov. 1s-Car-
rama is blocking the border agree
ment to obtain q large money settle
ment from the United States This
fact became known today following
the week end adjournment OF the
Mexican peace commission.
The purpose OF Luis Cabrera's meet
ings with Rafael Nieto at Philadel-
phia this week was also revealed for
the fret time. The story as told by
an insider runs as follows
Luis Cabrera. Mexican secretary of
finance and chairman OF the Carran-
Zista ENJOYS of the Mexican peace
conference. unfolded a scheme of tax
alton TO the American delegates that
astounded them. Cabrera admitted
that the first chiefs motto was Mex
leo for Mexicans.' and that foreign
Interests were TO be taxed to the
point Of confscation. :.
Ca brera was told by the Amert-
can delegates that unless he cut his
tax schedules to an equitable basis,
OF the border problem. 1t was ex-
planned that Americans had invested
many millions in Mexico according to
agreements with the Mexican govern
ment under Madero. Diax and earlier
presidents. Should Carranza attempt
to bleed these interests to death by
tax schemes ostensibly legal and con-
stitutional, the first chief would vio-
late the International obligations of
Mexico just as much as IL he seized
them by physical and obviously
criminal means.
Senior Cabrera. you must realize
that with the recognition of Carranza
by the United States and other gov
ernments, Mexico is again entitled to
full membership in the society Of ma
tons, said one OF the American en-
voys. accordingly Mexico must real
ize her international responsibilities
or forfeit her international privileges.
Would Be Rank Folly.
This Will mean that Carranxa
will force the United States and tho
other governments who. recognized
him to withdraw recognition. Such
an act would be the rankest folly not
only for Carranza but for all Mexico
After prolonged debate Cabrera
promised to submit new taxation
system to Carranza and seek to OBJ
tain his approval. Cabrera, accord
inEly had a series OF conferences with
William Loeb. Of Guggenheim In
terests; former Judge D. ]. Half,
counsel for the Phelps-Dodge prop
critics: Julian u. Beatty and Henry
Bruers. VINO represented other AmEr-
ican-ownsd mines south of the Rio
Grando
These mining men told Cabrera
they would willingly pay larger taxes
TO aid in tho re-establishing or Mex
leo, but they could not and would not
consent to tmposts that were plainly
connscatory.
"A compromise tax scheduled was
worked out by Cabrera and submit
