HORRIFIES HIM
Declares Honor of Mexico
Demands Immediate
Action
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, March 3.--Urg-
ing his government to completely
close up Tijuana and Mexicali bordcr
resorts, NJ. l.. Guzman. member of
the house of represent. n.atives from
Mexico City and editor of FL Mum
do, newspaper in that city, has
wired the Mexican secretary of the
interior, he announced here today.
Guzman expressed surprise at
vice conditions in these border
towns, and predicted they will be
closed up as soon as the situation is
fully known in the Mexican capital.
Affairs in the towns of Tijua
M and Mexieali are so disgraceful
they form harmful stains against
the honor of Mexico Guzman, who
is visiting here, messaged the seq
retary.
Every form of vice thrives in
both cities and there is no attempI
made to conceal the fact. Gambling,
drinking, dope trafficking and pros
titution arc openly pratieed.
Wants Towns Closed
The people of the United States
are under the impression that the
Mexican government realizes that
this conditions prevails and per-
mits it. The little financial con-
sideration which the government re-
ceives for concessions in Tijuana
and Mexicali is nothing. in compa-
rison to the great humiliation TO
which these degenerating communi-
ties subject our republic. L urge
that both twons be closed immediate
ly."
1T may seem strange to Ameri-
cans, but it is actually a fact that
no one in Mexico City dreamed
that conditions have reached such
state on our border Guzman de-
clared. From what / have heard
since coming to Los Angeles ] am
convinced that the stamping out of
these border towns is an urgent
matter and one that affects our
very honor.
