British Visa Required.

A MEXICAN travellers intending to proceed to the
~ United Kingdom advised by the state de-
parmcnt TO remember that it is necessary TO
British visa their passports. This visa
can be made at any of the British consulates.
Without this visa, permission land at British
ports may be refused under the aliens ORDER 1920,
and the steamship company may be required to take
the passenger back to the port OF departure
1t stated that the attention OF the state de-
partmcn had been drawn several times unofTcialy
the fact that various occasions recently conSdera
bic trouble has been caused travellers from America
who lacked the visa their passports.
The statement made in the house OF commons
April 7, that the British government does at
present propose to abolish the regulation by which all
aliens required to obtain British visas before
tering the United Kingdom.
Attention is further drawn to the fact that all
European countries require travellers possess pass
ports properly vsed with the exception of Belgium,
which requires passports but does not require visa.

Alaskan DEVELOPMENT

Opposition to the creation of any new govern

managed through the different departments was voiced
last week by Secretary Hoover
The secretary stated that in the Alaskan problem
ne believed it would be better to gradually gather all
the details under head, and not disturb the in
terests which the various departments had in any
sudden manner.
he favored developing the territory by allowing
the revenues from Alaska, which turned into
the general fund at the treasury to be segregated and
put into development fund the use of which would
be restricted to Alaska

Meyer on European Trade

A MEXICAN bankers must educate themselves and
~ their communities in matters OF International
finance and the nation must develop policy
towards conditions Of foreign trade confronting
us, Eugene Meyer, jr, managing director OF the War
Finance corporation, told members Of the Pennsylya-
MIA Bankers association their convention at Atlantic
City
Though we should not initiate European models in
formulating such policy, said Mr.. Meyer, the pTewar
financial structures of the old world offer least
valuable suggestion, namely "the establishment in
American financial centers Of properly safeguarded
broad public markets for sound internal securities OF
foreign countries. either industrial governmental in
foreign currency terms"
"A broad investment market" he declared, lis great
than any banking hrm syndicate of bankers, And
the foreign borrowers, matter what the quantity
may be, will make an American international Sc
curity market
Il make bold TO say that the European hnancers
in cooperation with American bankers, had taken
mental obligations, as we'll as the Obligations Of mu-
inequalities and of industrial companes exchange fuc-
tuatons would have been very much less violent I
also believe to be that the entire eveof the
international exchanges would now be quite different
and much favorable 10 the European nations il
such steps had been taken. Even now seems to me-
action along this line would be decidedly helpful"
Mr.. Myer also discussed the question of savings
and stated that the rate of national progress from
the point OF view of foreign commerce is dependent
upon the aggregate volume Of national savings be-
cause in the long foreign trade must be financed
with the funds which the country can save for the
purpose and above the sums required for our
internal needs

standpoint made possible by figures
put out by the bureau. According to
the figures given last week Washington is due to
improve before rank the heahest city of its
size in the country.
A partial list of the cities included in the
bureaus report shows that Washington, for the week
ending May 81, with estimated population of
454,ooo, had deaths, and infant mortality rate
OF 81.
San Francisco, with population of $4,000, est-
mated, had I34 deaths, and infant mortality rate
of 75 Seattle with $4,000 people, lost only 81 people,
and the infant rate 67. Buffalo, with $4,000
people, had II9 deaths, and infant mortality rate
of 70.
Cincinnati had los deaths out of 100000 popula-
ton and the low rate of So for the infant mortality
Los Angeles, with 6II,ooo people, had only 100 Deaths
and a of 81 for infant mortality
The figures given out, the bureau explains, give
for each city the total number of deaths reported
(stlbrths excuded), the death rate, the number of
deaths under year of age, and the infant mortality
rate based on deaths under year for the week and
estimated births for the previous calendar year.
Where the data obtainable for the previous
FIVE years, averages for the corresponding weeks

Interpretation. However these totals and rates per-
