MEXICO PROTESTS
AGAINST EXCLUSION
FROM CONFERENCE
fBy Associated press,


MEXICO CITY, Dec. IA resolu-
ton protesting against the exclusion
of Mexico from the Central American
conference at Washington and declar-
ing Mexieo's opposition to the estab-
lishment of United States naval bases
on any Latin-American coast was with
held from the chamber of deputies
last night through the Intervention OF
the CoOperistas party leaders. The
latter induced the farmers of the res
olution who form a considerable group
in the chamber, to postpone their ac-
ton for few days.
As originally framed the resolution
points out that Mexico was in reality
the moving spirit in the conference of
1906 which eliminated in the treaty of
1907, to which Guatemala, SNicara qua,
San Salvador, Costa Rica and Hon
duras were signatories. In view of this
fact the protesting deputies assert that
Mexico as "the neighbor and brother
of all the Central American republics
is vitally interested in all questions
affecting their welfare" and should be
included in any congress in which
these nations participate.
Protest is also made against the
danger to Mexican independence in
the establishment by the United States
of naval bases on Latin-American
coasts, the creation of financial guar
dianships, the maintenance of armed
foreign forces in the Latina American
republics and in general, diplomatic,
financial, political or military inter
vention by the United States in any
Latin country which has as its object
the extension Of North American i'm
perialsm-all of which is not being
treated at the Washington conference" !"

A stone wall several feet in height
is being built alongside the bath houses
on the state reserve, to prevent the
high water in the river flooding the
property this year. For several years
past the river has encroached upon the
bath house property during the high
water stage to such an extent that the
bath houses would have to be aban-
doned for a week or two, and 1t is be-
lieved the new wall will serve to keep
future flood water in the river channel
where it belongs.
