tMEX,' BANKING SYSTEM
F.. OFFERING FIRST TASK
Fear of Paper Money ( Makes
Financial Reform Hard 4
..-.,' for Oregon
BY Ralph H.; Turner r
UNITED Press Correspondent

Mexico City, Nov. 16.--Of all the
problems which will confront Presi-
|dent-elect Obregon when he. assumes
the leadership, of the Mexican nation
next December, none will demand
more urgent solution than the re-
lhabilitation of the country's banking
system. r. # ~ @s5s5>, ~ r
. Thus far Provisional President de
la Huerta has left the question al
most untouched, evidently believing
the problem to be so immense that a
short term Substitute" government
could not tackle it.
De la Huerta, however, has divided
the question into two salient angles:
First, a banking law must be enacted,
establishing rules for the guidance of
both native and foreign banks; Sec
ond, q national bank Of issue must be
founded. "'. ..'-s>:.
Around both features of the issue
revolves the necessity OF providing
some form of reimbursement for the
banks which suffered enormous
losses during the revolution. Little
progress has been made toward the
drafting Of a banking law. Several
NATIVE projects have been drawn
up, but none Of them has passed be-
y3nd the Eembryonic stage and it is
not ]ikelyEany definite action will be
taken until after, Obregon's installa-
ton. p ,$zzt,s {. =.
AS for the establishment Of ma
tional bank, the Treasury Depart
ments has at least prepared a project
on the subject. which may be pre-
sented to congress at an early date.
In this connection, it is recognized
first that the institution must be
bank of emission. Mexico today is
enc of the few countries of the world
perhaps the only one--which is on
so thoroughly gold basis that not
single piece Of paper is in circulation.
One issue. of paper after another. dur
ing the revolutionary period has Ell
ther depleted on has been repudiated
to such an extent that the public
will have nothing to do with any
money except that made of metal.
BY establishing a national bank Of
Issue the government hopes to restore
public confidence and return paper
money to circulation. This is one Of
the main features Of the plan for the
new bank. This institution, accord
Ting to the present proposal, is to be
known rs ''The Bank of the Mexican
Republic and is to be the sole bank
Of issue during y period of fifty years
The capitaT;of the bank will be $780,

SOS each. half Of which is to be. sub,
scribed bvs,the government and the
other half by individuals, local OF

project permits the institution to is

Naval architects and boat builders
declare that new laminated wooc

which will in all probability revolu.

boats in the future.
Tie new material is very light and
consists primary sheets Of veneer
fastened together with marine glue
until it is stronger than steel of equal
weight It can be steamed and bent
to apy desired shape and will retain
it's shape in water without shrinkage
or swelling for years.
Experiments which have been
made with the construction OF small
bulls out Of this new material indi-
cate that racing hull built of it will
be a great deal lighter than prdin-
airy wood, and will be many times
stronger, it being practically impos-
sible to hammer a mole thru the sur

pumpkins and squash was brought
into Calgary from Brooks, Alberta,
during the week and found ready

est of its kind ever made from a
country point in Alberta, and demon
strates the possibility of producing
this vegetable on a commercial scale.
These pumpkins were grown on the
demonstration farm of the Canadian

recently in "Aphrodite." the Partisan

Miss Dalton was in vaudeville.
Indeed. during sojourn in New York
