BORDER BUSINESS
HOUSES PROTEST
CLOSED BOUNDARY

According to reports received here
yesterday, the recent modification Of
the regulations regarding passports
has created no end Of trouble along
the Mexican border line.
AS result, the State Department
is to be appealed to, it is stated, by
the business men of Calexico and
Americans having large business in
terests in that part of the country, to
change the arrangements.
1t is declared that the business in
Calexico has fallen off so per cen
since the regulations went into effect;
that the Gotten crop in Lower Califor-
MIA is jeopardized by the scarcity OF
labor and that the cultivation of the
immense acreage south of the inter-
national line. which has heretofore
been large asset of the United
States, will be lost unless free inter-
communication :. restored. 1t is de-
clared further that so per cent Of the
industry and business south of the
line is American.
The associated busines sinterests OF
Calexico and that part of the Impe-
rial Valley have complained to ffds
eral officers in Los Angeles that the
provisions of the new passport regu-
lations, which permit the issuance of
Identification cards only for those liv-
ing within ten miles of the border for
use within ten miles of the border
| compels some $500 workers in South
/ ern California to secure passports.
1t has been estimated that up te
date only 500 permanent passports
have been issued since the responsi.
bility of handling them was placed
in the hands of the immigration De
partment of the government, having
been taken away from the custom.
