Mexico has no desire to curtail
her expectations Of oil to the United
States the provisional president con

relative to the oil question is moth
ing but so.caled North American
bluff by enemies of the Mexican
government"
Asked if Mexico could exist without
recognition Of her government from
the United States, de la Huerta de-
clared:
I'VE are still existing. Mexico has
expressed her willingness to be or
friendly terms with the world, at
large, and now it is up to the world
to decide whether it wants Mexico as
friend"
The federal zones, the provisional
president declared, would not be KEPT
as national reserves, but would bt
given out under concessions. under
an agreement to pay a royalty of il
per cent of the oil produced, which
would be sufficient to meet the gov
| ernments needs. He denied the gov
ernment intended to confiscate tbs
vested rights of companies operating
| wells in these zones. and asserted the
petroleum question could be settled /
the Mexican governments rights wer'
recognized He intimated foreign cor
porations did not desire a settlement
Of the session, saying.
This would force them to exhibi
their titles to oil lands, and man!
of them are defective"

PLAN FORMED TO
INCREASE THRIFT

Following the lines that made the
Ninth Federal Reserve district the
best organized section during the war
period plan for systematized thrift
effort has been prepared according to
M. E. Harrison, director in this district
of the War Savings division of the
United States treasury
Our PLAN explains Mr.. Harrison,
provides for thrift organization from
national headquarters down to the in
savings committees.
Two Big Objects In Sight.
There are two impeling motives be-
hind the savings movement: first, to
strengthen our national financial situa-
ton, and second, to promote individual
prosperity. To win the first objective
we might make work and save the
national anthem. And individuals
everywhere must hold their govern
ment securities and buy more, they
must strive to produce more and to in
vest In doing his part to gain this ma
tional aim, the individual will gain the
second objective.
1.-THE National, district and county
organizations is the same as that
which made the Ninth district the best
organized district In the United States
during the War period.
The county chairman is an i'm
portant cog in the organization ma
chinery and these chairmer are now
being selected for the 1920 work.
Local Committees important.
''The local thrift committee is the
most important element in the entire
Savings organization. Upon this COM
mittee rests the responsibility of
establishing the study and practice of
thrift. To transform an extravagant
nation into nation OF savers, into a
nation whose people think before they
spend: spend intelligently and invest
wisely-that is the mission of the local
thrift committee.
Banks, natural financial agents of
the Treasury; postoffices, where thrift
stamps and war savings stamps and
general information may be obtained,
schools, training camps of tomorrow's
citizens; women, who spend three
fourths of the nations income; the
press, whose cooperation is so essen
tia1 to the onward sweep of the saw
ings movement, fraternal societies, Ia
Dor unicns-all these agencies and
more. will. the governments hopes, be
amalgamated into powerful army which
will inspire economy, encourage produc-
ton, strengthen loyalty and smite the
nigh cost OF living.
