PLAN TO BLOCK
MEXICAN loan
Representative Tinkham, of
Boston, Introduces Pro-
hibitive Resolution.

A determined effort to block any
loan to Mexico was begun yesterday
In the House Of Representatives.
Reused by repeated rumors that the
administration is planning to extend
\ substantial credit to the Carranza
government, Representative Tink-
nam, Of Boston, introduced reso-
luton designed to forestall such
move.
I'VE can not forswear our tradi-
tiohs by sealing the closest possible
bond with a government deliberately
dedicated to a program that is wholly
repugnant to the principles and m
situations OF the American people,
Representative Tinkham declared. "A
great government loan to the gov
eminent of Mexico. as now consu-
tuted, or official assistance, however
Informal, to the Mexican government
In securing such a loan from United
States bankers would simply mean
that the United States had at last
reconciled itself to indorse pro-
gram of social. religious and eco
nornic persecution forced on neigh
boring people, which IL Is unthinkable
would be proposed or tolerated at
home"
Text of Resolution
The resolution says, in part:
whereas the loan of money or
extension of credit by the govern
meht of the United States or private
persons acting under guaranty OF the
government Of the United States 10

sion of approval of the government

ed to the maintenance of such pol
ices. therefore. be it
Resolved, That no loan be made OF
financial assistance of any character

rnent o the United States TO the
existing government Of Mexico.
The resolution goes on to proNlue
that no encoura cement be gwen pS

cording to the statement, and It is "im-
possible to give the exact cause" The

exploded contained 100000 pounds Of
powder.
Plans for rebuilding have been made,
the company asserted, and the work
