TO PLAN
Southern Nation Waits
Only Approval Of
Washington to Act.

Mexico hopes to follow the lead Of
the United States in establishing an
American Mexican air mail route re-
gardless of expense.
Mexico will favor San Antonio as
the logical connecting point between
the two republics.
These assurances were given Satur.
day night by Cosme Hinojoss, post
master general of Mexico, who was in
San Antonio for a few hours en- route
to Houston to attend the postmasters'
convention. He has held his post in
Mexico for eleven years, through four
administrations.
Mr. Hinojosa was in conference with
Postmaster P. G. Lucas, Saturday
night prior to his departure for Hous-
ton and discussed with him the plans
for the new mail route. He also will
bring the subject up for discussion az
Houston if opportunity offers, he de-
clared.
MET BY CONSUL
Mr.. Hinojosa was accompanied by
Rodolfo B. Soto and was met in San
Antonio by Consul General A. z.
GARLIC.
Mexico is disposed to follow the
lead of the United States in the pro-
posed mail route, even if the propo-
sition be an expensive one" Mr.. Hino-
josa said upon his arrival here. I'm
fact the Mexican government is very
anxious to follow in the footsteps
of the United States in connecting
important centers by air. And in my
opinion San Antonio is the logical
connecting link between the two coun-
tries
Two companies of American finan-
ciers, Mr.. Hinojosa stated, already
have submitted to the Mexican gov
eminent a proposal for the establish
ment of an air mail route between
Tampico and Mexico City.
LINE is CONSIDERED
1T is planned to operate two planes
daily between the two Mexican cities"
Mr.. Hinojosa said. "And at present
the chancellories of the two govern
ments, America and Mexico, are con.
sidering a line between San Antonio
and Mexico City,
There are two routes which would
be feasible for the proposed air mail
service, Mr.. Hinojosa explained.
Zone would be via San Antonio,
Laredo, Monterey. Tampico and Mex
leo City, TO connect at Tampico with
the proposed line" Mr.. Hinojosa said.
The second would be from San An
tonic to Laredo, Monterey, San LUIS
Potosi, Queretero, Guadalajara and
Mexico City. With these established
1 believe New York and Washington
would connect up to San Antonio.
This, of course, would be left to the
American government. But ! do be-
lieye that San Antonio should be the
connecting link"
STRONG FOR PLAN
So strongly is he in favor OF tho
proposed air mail route, Mr.. Hinojosa
saws, that he will bring the matter
up for discussion at Houston, in order
to stimulate interest, If given the OPP
portunity.
Since the establishment of c. o. d
service between Mexico and the United
States, Mr.. Hinojoss said, japan has
taken up the same proposition with
his government.
Mr.. Hinojosa was particularly I'M
pressed with the present friendly re-
lations between his government ana
that Of America.
San Antonio is particularly strate-
gic point for the dispatch Of mails,
Mexican officials point out, as the
new Ford and Vanderbilt lines viii
