Mexican administration were defended
President Coregon in an address be-
fore New Orleans business men who
were at he National Palace yesterday.
He declared that Mexico offers the
lest opportunities and advantages to
North American business men who are
investing capital" and that the gov

Although it is true that we have

hat the friendly relations between the
Mexican and American people have
been growing every day. As the head

last revolution, | must speak the truth
with the utmost sincerity. Time will
convince those living near us OF the
falsehood of slanderous charges made
by our enemies. Once We are well
known. you will see many reasons for
apnreciating us.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

tBy Associated Press)
INDIANAPOLIS, March Sore
organization of the state highway com
mission by Governor McCray includ
ing his appointment of new members
of the commission and his selection OF
successor to l.. H. Wright as direc.
tor, was forecast today by state Off
Gals. There was no official an.
nouncement of the governors plans
however, and the commission which
has been in session two days declined
to state what had been done or dis.
close it's plans.
Efforts of commissioners and Mr.
Wright to hold conference with the
governor were unavailing, he being en-
to be absent from the state house
part of the time. 1t was learned that
the commission has reviewed part OF
its past work, and it is said that
plans for new construction had been
discussed
There has been no official intima-
tion of what the governors plans will
be except his general declaration of
roads generally, rather than any big
construction program. Funds avail.
able for construction work, including,
that given by the federal government,
has been said by the state board of
accounts to be larger than is likely
to be expended this year.
