This is one of the recommendations
adopted by the 1000 delegates of the

the report had 20 men on II, represent

President James A. Farrell of the

adopted, said:
"Reallzing the unquestionsd advan-
tage Of having the speeNest possible
mail and express service in enabling
American enterprise to compete sue
cessfully in securing the specifications
and requirement of BUR foreign con-
tracts, this convention urges congress
sional consideration of suitable plans
for developing aerial navigation.
THE establishment of the necessary
aids to such navigation, the investiga.
ton and development of the funda-
mental principles Of commercial ae-

service to overseas countries, are mur-
ters which demand the present estab-

the government. One of its chief du-
ties should be to provide the neces
sary information which will make
possible the use of aerial navigation
as an aid to foreign trade. Until the
necessary legislation can be passed.
II is our belief that the Department of
Commerce should make every effort
to promote in all possible ways the
progress of aerial aids to both foreign
and domestic markets.

MEXICO CITY, May 14-Mextoo,
with developed and unde-
keloped) of probably $50, 100000
IL snaggd on the trifing foreign debt
OF less than half a billion dollars.
Propaganda, graft and revolt have
tlogged the wheels OF progress.
A good share of both propaganda
And revolt must be charged to foreign
frs-mostly Americana; The graft
Mexico must reckon with at home.
The propaganda emanates largely
from American investors as a result
pf taxes and New lays. II makes some
of Thorn want to force the Stars n
Btripes south of the Rio Grande. to
confirm faulty titles n reduce taxes.
The Mexican propaganda comes from
feactionaries, Felix Diax parlor rev.
~piutionists. and Viilista sympathizers.
Both the Mexican n American
brand are largely manufactured in the
United States.
To combat Diaz who hopes to curry
capitalistic program; to fight villa
who is kept going by American and
Mexican smugglers, and to battle
felaez kept up by oil mems tribute
tfaise or genuine1, C~arranZa's govern
ment has appropriated almost $780,
boo. 900 OF its $4,000 900 total 1919
budget for the army. This leaves Mex
leo but s15.o00.0 900 dollars to run the
government and pay interest on the
national debt.
1t ought to be the other way round.
The wedding out of grating generals
will aid.
Carranza is retiring them from
proximity to army pay rolls as fast as
he can. To bodily kick them out
would mean plunging the country into
revolt again.
This is Carranza's answer to state
ments that Porgrio Diaz ran the oun

per cent of what 1t needs today.
Under normal condition Mexico could
get a loan as quickly as n country
on the face OF the earth. Her credit is
good though blurred. Try to purchase
securities and find out.
The foreign debt and interest Is
about $3.50, 900 900, mostly owed In
Europe. The railway debt, mostly
owed through American concerns to
European stockholders is about $780,
O00, 1000, plus $12, 900. 900 defaulted in
terest. To correct the impression that
the railway debt is owed Americans, 1
will say that American stock of the
National lines ranks third or fourth.
Also II should be said that the Mex
lean government owns 81 per cent OF
the stock. but for this control has
guaranteed bonds and interest. Pres
fdent Carranza has just announced

way debt.
The railway merger of 1908 was not

but a move to solve a financial d.
lemma. The Mexican Central, one of
The largest lines under foreign con-
rrol, was almost ready to collapse.
