MEXICO WILL

MEXICO CITY, Sept.

 In a recent interview, Gilberta Val enzuela, sub-secretary of the interior, declared that these 500 prisoners were sent to the islands to satisfy the personal vengeance of certain in- dividuals influential during the ad- ministration of President Carranza.
 Thereafter, persons actually con- victed of felony will be sent to the islands, but not those whose cases have not been heard in the courts" Senor Valenzuela said. Furthermore more attention will be paid to the prosecution of thieves on a large scale-such as paymasters who have absconded with funds entrusted to their care and other dishonest public employees"

 Exports show an increase of B. 096,000,00O francs, compared with the same period last year. Imports also show an increase, over 2,061 millions, but this increase is almost entirely due to materials for manufacture, which amounted to over 1,845 mil lions
 The excess of imports over exports during the first half of last year was 11,037 millions, while for this year this excess has fallen to 7,S49 mil lions, an improvement welcomed in the financial world as likely to af- feet French exchange favorably.
