Terms of Payment
For New Liberty Loan
Are Extremely Liberal

Terms of payment for the Victory
Loan are made unusually easy upon
the investor, according to an an
nouncement just made by Carter
Glass, secretary of the treasury.
The required schedule of pay
ments, which probably will be adopt
ed by all banks, follows:
Ten per cent with application or
by May 10.
Ten per cent on or before July Is.
Twenty per cent on or before Au-
gust II.
Twenty per cent on or before Sep
TENDER g.
Twenty per cent on or before Oc-
tober z.
Twenty per cent on or before No
vember II, with accrued interest on
deferred installments.
Plans for pushing the Victory
Loan campaign to success are we'll
advanced. Details are much nearer
and it is expected that many coun-
ties and even a whole state or two
will go over the top in the first two
or three days
The adoption of the individual
quota system in a large proportion of
counties is expected to speed up the
campaign. By this method, each citi
zen is to be notified that he is eX-
pected to invest a certain definite
sum in Victory Bonds, and is urged
to do so on the first day. The quota
is based on his income and property
holdings, and is made as fairly as
possible. The plan is provided to
insure that everybody carries his
own share of the loan, instead of I'M
loading it upon some more patriotic
neighbOr.

Mexican Constitution
Prohibits Acquisition
OfLand, Aguirre Says

MEXICO CITY, Wednesday, April
2.-(By the Associated Press. )-"ln
Lower California there are various
foreign enterprises, among which are
been given concessions for the eX-
ploitation of certain natural re-
sources in various places, but none Of
! them has been permitted, nor will be
permitted, to acquire tracts of land,
because the constitution prohibits
made today by General Amado
Aguirre, under-secretary of agricul-
ture and development.
Naturally there has been a re-
spect for those companies holding
concessions which have always COM
piled with the stipulations of their
contracts, but some companies.
among them the Mexico Land compa-
ny, have had their contracts multi
fed for not having complied with all
their provisions. These concessions
will be duly and legally liquidated,
holdings will be obliged to divide
them and nobody will be given more
than $500 acres"
General Aguirre declared the gov
eminent had not and would not allow
foreign interests to obtain land in
Lower California, and pointed out
that Article XVII of the constitu-
ton prohibits foreigners from hold
ing lands within sixty miles of
frontier and thirty miles of a sea-
coast. He said that under these pro-
visions, because of the geographical
situation of Lower California, it
would be virtually impossible for for
eign interests to secure any consid-
cradle tract, even in the interior, be-
cause of the narrowness of the
peninsula.
Regarding concessions held by for
eigners, the under-secretary stated
that among those holding fishing
rights were both Japanese and Nor
Wegians, but he made it plain that no
foreign interests held rights to land
along the coasts.
