PARIS, Feb. THE arrival in Paris
OF a Mexican delegation headed by
Alberto PAM, with the title Of Minister
Plenipotentiary. has given rise to much
speculation AZ to the purposes OF the
mission. which undoubtedly will try to
gain the ear Of the conference.
The silence OF the Mexicans and their
obvious attempts to avoid questioning
tend to increase the interest In their
possible motives. From French sources
it is learned that the Mexican delegates
desire TO place before the Peace Confer
ence a request that It approve the prin-
ciple embodied In the new Mexican con-
stltution empowering the Government to
conflscate or take possession OF the nat
ural resources OF the country. 1t is "a ID
that IL this proposition is rejected
President Carranza may annul all for
eiCn concessions.
Senior Pani when questioned by the
correspondent of THE Sun denied that
his Government intended to take any
such action. He added that he did not
see how such questions, which he con-
sidered purely domestic, could be brought
up before the conference. Besides which
Mexico is and has been neutral, he de-
clared. and did not contemplate any par
t!cipation in the conference, nor did he
believe that the conference could recog-
n.ze the right OF foreign capital and in .

THE modern type OF machine he

Whether the machine will have one or

drives it.
Doubtless the first voyage will he
made from west to east so as to get
full advantage of the prevailing winds.
Although four hours of daylight would

The War Trade Board announced that
applications would be approved for ex-
port of butter to all countries except
the allied countries where purchases
are made through Governmental pur-
,hasing agencies. These steps follow
c,osely the removal of other general ex-
port and import restrictions and are

PAY NOT Chief
Strike ISSUE
Carpenters Ask Contractors Use
Only Union Supplies, E. ].
Burns Says.

Wage grievances of the tri-city
carpenters are not the chief points
of issue in the present tieup. In
stead the chief stumbling block is
the matter of whether or not only
union manufactured material or
nOnunion as well is to be purchas-
ed by contractors for use on jobs.
E. J. Burns of the quad-city
builders said today that most of
the points for discussion between
builders and men could easily be
settled in a short time, except this
one. The men want inserted in
the agreement between their union
and the builders the specification
that only manufactured material
turned out from unionized shops
shall be used
The builders say this would be
absolutely unfair, in discriminat-
ing against open shops and taking
business away from all places
where every man employed was
not a member of organized labor.
