previous Zoning regulations. Atten-
ton was directed in particular to the

reZoned as a "B" area, which permits
the erection of an apartment.

improvement for the distractions and
sewers on the Seventeenth street hill

FRENCHMEN HATE US.
Resolution Adopted Is Sent to
Convention of World War Men
at Philadelphia.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 9.-The Paris post
of the American Legion has adopted
resolution denouncing attempts to
depict the French people as anti
American. The resolution has been
forwarded to American Legion head
quarters on the eve of the Philadel-
phia convention, where plans for hold
ing the 1927 convention in Paris will
come under discussion.
The resolution criticizes ''propagan|
da which, by taking advantage of and
exaggerating a few sporadic actions
of irresponsible persons against for
eigners in general and not against
Americans in particular, is seeking to
create an impression in the United
States that there is a feeling of ami
mostly against Americans"
The resolution. however, does not
recommend that the plans to hold the
1927 convention of the Legion in Paris
be carried out or postponed. 1t merely

ing held up0he appointment of a sue
cessor to Finance Minister Alberto j.
PAM. Blair & Co. Of New York also
are stated to have backed up the New

Pani is under pressure to reconsider
his resignation. At Mr.. Lamont's re-
quest he will now stay in office. it is
stated unofficially, until January /.

An International bankers commit
tee, of which Mr.. Lamont IS chairman.
is understood to have suggested that
retention of the present finance min
lister was deemed vital for carrying
out the foreign debt agreement now
in force 1t was Senor PAM who ar
ranged with the committee for re-
sumption of interest payments.
The responsibility of obtaining the
whereMithal to meet these payments
also fell upon his shoulders. This
he has successfully achieved, not
withstan nding the difficult economic
situation which has prevailed in Mex
leo for the past year. He has even ac-
cumulated a treasury surplus said to
total O0,O00, 900 pesos. Although it
is generally known that Pants resig-
nation has been offered. official an
nouncement to that effect is still
withheld. Luis Monies de Oca, con-
troller general, was at first slated to
succeed him. Now it Is extra Off
cially stated that Senor Monies de
Oco will shortly hold a commission
to study the accounting systems used
in the United States Treasury. His
exit from the picture is understood to
be'the result of Mr.. Lamonts sugges-
tions that If PAM were determined to
quit, a financier of experience should
be chosen to succeed him.
