See. Business Recognition.
"The finance committee Of the
chamber has assured the department
that it will make a liberal appropria-
ton to support its activities, and in
addition thereto it is proposed to in
crease the budget in the immediate
future through trade sources, to such
an extent that the department will
have abundant means with which to
press San Antonio's claims in its
present recognized trade territory and
in competitive localities which have
heretofore been more or less neglected.
Business conditions in Mexico are
steadily improving and the proposed
establishment of a national banking
system, il it accomplished, will in
evitably bring about an industrial
readjustment which will insure at least
the commercial if not the political
recognition of that country, by Amer
lean business men. Under the cir
cumstances San Antonio must be pre-
pared for renewed efforts to follow up
its trade prestige there"
