GALES HAS TASK
AS MEX|C(rS HEAD
Huge Problems of Finance
and Labor Face New
Chief Executive.
BY HARRY NICHOLS.

Special Cable to The Star and the Chicago
Daily News.
MEXICO CITY, December AL
though Mexico has accomplished the
feat OF transferring peaceably the
presidential mower from Gen. Obregon
to Gen. Gales. all thinking Mexicans
realize that the new President, de-
spite such an auspicious entry into
power, is faced with many difficult
problems. 1t is generally recognised
that President Obregon made super
human efforts to hand over the reins
of Office to his friend and successor
in as good shape as possible after
The republic had been drained OF
ready funds by the de La Huerta
revolt, and il is recognized that his
placing Gen. Gales In the presiden-
tial chair without spilling a drop of
blood was. indeed, an accomplishment.
Since suppressing the last revoiu
zion 1t can be said that the govern
mont has been occupied mainly In an
effort to obtain foreign capital to
balance the critical Mexican finan-
cial situation. The first public ad-
mission of this critical situation was
the temporary suspension at the end
of last June of interest payments
under the Lamont-de la Huerta
agreement. Another six months in
terest, or a total roughly of $1,000,
600, will be payable at the end of
December.
Attempt to Float Loan.
That formidable barrier constitutes
President Gales first financial and
most important hurdle. For the
past two months Mexican financiers
have been on their toes regarding
the floating OF $4,000, 900 OF bonds
for loan to Mexico TO be secured by
petroleum export taxes 20 cover the
Evening star., 1924-12-05

proposed loan from J. L. Arlitt &
Co. OF Austin, Tex, and New
York. The general view held In
financial circles hero Is that this loan
Is not likely to materialise, at least
in the near future, despite statements
repeatedly made by Arlitt that most
Of the bonds had been disposed of.
That would mean that President
Gales now has a treasury that Is al
NEST as bare as Mother Hubbards
cupboard" There are further con-
siderable obligations to Mexico City
merchants for goods supplied and the
federal government employees wages
are considerably in arrears.
In connection with the financial
situation it must not be overlooked
that the eet croncnferences of repre-
sentatives of big American oil in
terests in Mexico with the minister Of
finance have not, so far Is any official
announcement goes, brought prac-.
tical results. Although 1t was claim
ed by the mini ter OF finance that the
basic difficulties preventing a fuller
development of American capital In
vestment in Mexico had been cleared
away. In some quarters ii is assert
ed that Alberto PAM. Obregon's
finance minister. and now holding the
same portfolio under Gales. Is wait

conferences and especially from the
Arlitt loan before making any an
nouncement.
ASrarinn Question PerpIexing.
Perhaps the next biggest hurdle
for President Gales Is the agrarian
question. The new chief executive
has consistently asserted. mindful
that he was elected largely by the
labor vote, that his efforts will be
largely devoted to raising up the
status Of the laboring people, socially,
morally and in every other, respect.
Tho cry OF "the land for the work
ers," which was considerably used as
a platform plank, probably will place
a heavy impediment in his way.
There are no working funds for
carrying out any such plan.
In the absence OF a public state
ment regarding the new govern
ments program 1t Is difficult to ex-
press any opinion regarding that all
important body, "Mexico's army"
and what its attitude is toward
Gales. The republic Is peaceful ex-
cept that there are small bands of
marauders which Will always exist
in such an immense but sparsely
populated territory. Gen. Obregon
claims that he has handed over a
loyal and efficient body of troops.

Gales in the presidential race and
who SO often has been reported as
having rebelled, has lately denied
such reports. On the face Of things
1t appears that President Gales has
peace assured 80 that he can begin
his campaign for the social reform
and the betterment of the conditions
of the working people.
Perhaps the least said regarding
the attitude of the Catholic Church
the better, for he never will be for

Because no has a tremendous in

tieved that he will be able to do
much to remedy the strike disease
which was becoming chronic.

the country Is definitely paciffed.

strikes In Mexico, mainly among oil

helped to accentuate the present

the President will be able to improve
that situation by his appointment OF
