Arthur j. Braiff, Mexican
financier, personally interested in the
matter, reports that more than $4,000
japanese agriculturists with ample
means are ready to emigrate from
California, where they are residing,
because Of the prohibition against
leasing or buying lands in United
States. Braiffs representative has
been comforting with the japanese
ambassador in Washington who de-
sires to learn whether the Mexican
government objects TO the arrival of
these colonists in Mexico.
Various Latin-American govern
ments have made proposals along
similar lines. Because of the great
Importance of the matter the COVER
nors Of Colima, Nayarit, Sinaloa.
Sonora and Jalisco have been asked
TO give their opinion, since the
Japanese colonists prefer lands in
these regions.
"When the opinions are received
the interior department will formu-
late its conclusions for submission
to the ministry of agriculture and

IINOLEUM is floor that can be permanently
IL laid over cement or wood.
Tenants like linoleum floors because they are
quiet, easy on the feet, dignihed, sanitary, and
very good-looking.
If yours is an office building where janitor ser
vice is supplied to the tenants, you may already
know how easy the linoleum floor can be kept
clean-especially if waxed. Waxing preserves
linoleum, improves its looks, and protects it. A
good linoleum floor that is waxed and polished at
regular intervals should last for the average life
Of building.
When dust falls on this waxed surface, it
settles there. 1t is easily brushed up with hair
broom, but it does not stir into the air again.
Cleaning is quickly and easily done. Harsh
scrubbing and wet hopping are unnecessary.
