verse to placing money in Mexico if
assurance of some sort could be had
from the state department, that their

given has not been revealed, but it is
understood that if the Mexican loan
is fioated in this country, President Car,
rama will agree to receive advice as
to its expenditure and to a degree of
supervision. Mexico will try to obtain
at least $250,000,000. The Mexican
congress authorized the floating of a
$3.50, 100000 loan and in addition to that
$l00.000,000 will be asked for the re
