LAMONT GIVES VIEWS
AT HIS SUMNER HOME

North Haven, Maine, Aug. 81
The resumption of regular relations
between the governments of the
United States and Mexico, announced
today by the State Department at
Washington should in the long run
go far toward restoring the financial
stability and credit of the Mexican
government, Thomas w. Lamont,
mont, chairman of the international
commission of bankers on Mexico,
said tonight. Mr.. Lamont is at his
summer home here.
1.-THE international commission
which since October, 1921, has been
carrying on active discussion with
the Mexican government, resulting in
the firm debt agreement of June,
1922, is naturally gratified that the
situation has developed so as to per-
nit the resumption of diplomatic in
tercourse between the two countries"
Mr.. Lamont said in a formal state
ment.
1.-THE chief duty of the international
commission has been to safeguard
the interests of the Mexican govern
ment's foreign bondholders in
amount approximately $500,0e0,000
principal and to safeguard such in
terestS in a manner to conduce to
the financial stability and the. credit
of the Mexican government. In both
such ends it is natural that the re-
sumption of regular relations be-
tween the two governments should
in the long run be a strong contri-
buting factor.
II should like to add the express
sion of my personal satisfaction in
the pleasing announcement from
Washington"
