Fletcher. American ambassador to
Mexico. left Mexico City today for
Washington - to. discuss with the
American State Department questions
now pending between the United
States and Mexico. The ambassador
expects to be absent about six weeks.
The announcement of his departure
was accompanied by a revival of va
rious rumors in Mexico City. These
rumors said that the conference in
Washington would be connected with
the reported loan to Mexico by Ameri-
can bankers and with the decision of
American capitalists with interests in
Mexican oil and mineral lands to send
delegation to the peace conference.

FRED BARR CUTS

Despite the fact that we are
now compelled to pay a SO war
tax on automobile tires, Ford
parts and the numerous accessories
that We carry in our store, We are
going to continue cur cut-rate bust
ness on the same policies as here
tofore," said Fred J. Barr today
In other words, l am not going
to pass the buck to the consumer"
continued Mr. Barr. 81 have figured
out system whereby l can add the
war tax to my overhead expense,
and still give my patrons the same
cut rates they enjoyed before the
war tax became effective on March
LIST. This scheme, of course, cuts
my profits extensively, but I don't
believe in lacking the war tax onto
the price and then passing this ad-
dition1 expense on to the Gus
toner. 1 believe that the many
patrons of the Barr stores will
thoroughly appreciate this method
of doing business, and the addition
al trade that will come to us during
the coming year will doubtless
more than Offset the increased
overhead expense which the war
tax makes necessary.
You doubtless realize that it is
a most fragrant violation to charge
war tax to the customer when the
dealer himself has not paid it. Any
concerns that have followed this
method will find themselves COM
ing in conflict with the authorities
if they do not change their system.
In my case, we are paying the war
tax, charging it to overhead ex-
pense, and yet our customers are
getting the advantage of the same
cut rates that existed before the
war tax went into effect. ADV.
