MEXICO TO RESUME
PAYMENTS ON DEBT
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 2.-Interest pay
ments on Mexico's external debt,
which have been suspended tempo
rarily, will be resumed when equi-
1ibrium of the federal treasury is
restored by applying funds intended
for the debt service or the proceeds
of a new loan, says u decree issued
by President Obregon of Mexico and
Secretary of the. Treasury A. J. Pani,
made public by the Mexican financial
agency here yesterday.
Suspension of payments was an
nounced Monday night by the inter
national committee of bankers in
Mexico which negotiated the debt
agreement with the Mexican govern
ment in 1922.
Mexico's failure to provide between
S8,000,000 and 100000 for the first
1924 semi-annual interest install
ment was attributed by the govern
ment officials to misapprehension
over obtaining another foreign loan
and to depletion of treasury re-
sources as result of the recent
revolution.
