CONFERENCE To

Ell Pasoan Says Mexican
Peace Commission to Ask
Withdrawal Of Troops.

The proposed conference between
representatives Of the United States
and Mexico is sure TO fail because the

mentally and temperamentally unfit
10 deal with the problems that will be
presented
This was the emphatic opinion ex-
-~essed Saturday by an IL Pasoan who.
FOR many years. has been = close stu
dent OF trans Rio Grande politics.
The conference. according to the e
Fasoan. is going TO strike the same
sncg that broke up the Scott-ObreEon
pariey. the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico before the de facto
government has shown itself able 20
cope with the bandit problem
Alberto PAM Is boy. and has little

Cabrera Visionary
Luis Cabrera is a Cientifico with So
cialistic tendencies Since he has been
identified with the Carranza faction, il
seems that he has tried TO discredit his
party through the wild and visionary
character Of his ideas.
"lgancio Bonillas is without any eX-
perience whatsoever. He possesses
superficial education that would com
pare with that Of the average seventh
Grade school boy Of FL Paso."
Reports Exaggerated
All the reports that are emanatin-
from Mexican sources regarding the
Carrancistas' victories over the outlaws
are exagEera ted" he asserted When
single poor -pelado is shot the re-
ports have IL that an entire division
OF outlaws have been wiped out. But
the United States government is too
well informed to be fooled by sucn
stories"
The matter Of an American loan for
the Mexican railroads is likewise i'm
possible Of solution by the commission.
