GU NB0AT NOT
SUITABLE FOR
MERCHANT SHIP
tBy United Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. %. - Jose
Dellallave, hailing from across the
Rio Grande,, is, like more famous
compatriot, 'son the horns of dilema," ;"
only this time it isn't bull, but a
gunboat.
Dellallave arrived in this city with
a large unearned increment which he
did not know what to d . with. Being
youth Of romantic ideas he decided
10 buy something big and worth
While. Wandering along the San
Francisco water front he saw the
Marblehead, a broken-down American
gunboat. All, that was what he want
ed This should be the nucleus of a
merchant marine for Mexico. He
soon made arrangements with a ship
broker and purchased the ship, re-
ceiving bonefide bill of sale.
With the remainder Of his money
ne bought paint, provisions and hired
crew. remaining the ship Aqua Prize
ia. Then he started for Mexico, but
local federal officials stepped in then
and resurrected a law which says
that certain things must have license
from the state department before
they may be exported to Mexico. In
this list are gunboats. Dellallave pro-
tested that he bought it for a mer-
chant marine and therefore it became
merchant ship, but the local Gus
toms officials failed to see the point,
so Dellaliave sits on the horns of di-
lena while Washington works out
some solution of giving him its Off
clal stamp in his efforts for starting
MeXico's merchant marine.

STATE DEPT. IN
WIRE SQUABBLE
(By Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
state department to-day interviewed in
what threatened to be controversy
between the British embassy and the
senate committee, investigating cable
communications, over the question
whether there is a British censorship
of cable messages to the United
States originating on the British Isles.
The departments action is regarded
as a rebuke to the embassy for send
ing Chairman Kellogg of the commit
tee letter denying the testimony Of
President Carlton of the Western Un-
ion that "cables to the United States
are subject to delay and examination
by the British naval intelligence au-
thorities."
The department will take up the
subject matter of the controversy
with the embassy, but whether it will
ask for an explanation of the action of
the embassy in writing directly to the
senator has not yet been indicated.

FORONEY BILL TO
Be VALLEY ASSET

Passage of the Fordney bill by the
house and probable passage by the
senate is Of interest to valley cotton
growers.
The bill carries a proviso that all
long staple cotton shall carry an i'm
port tax Of cents a pound This, it
is hoped, will stabilize the Pima cot
ton market to some extent and per-
haps bring better prices. LEGAL Pima
growers are of the opinion that the
7 cents a pound should be made 20
or 80.
There has been some apprehension
about cotton grown below the line,
but it is believed that if it does af-
feet short staple, as most of MexicoA
cotton is sold in Europe, it will merely
mean passing through this country in
bond. This would not work particu-
lar hardship on the Mexican cotton
growers.
