to his letter, whether or not he
would be able to exhibit his Arabian
horses, due to their present illness.

recovery and promises to exhibit

Aqua Prieta Unaffected
by Agitation For Law
Regarding Intermarriage

Aqua Prieta is not directly affect
ed by the present agitation in Mex
leo for the adoption Of a law pro-
hibiting the intermarriage of Mex
leans and Chinese, because we al
ready have such a law in this city,
Ernesto Boubion, presidente of Aqua
Prieta, stated Tuesday, when ques-
toned concerning the matter. How
ever, the situation as regards Chinese
having what amounts to a monopoly
on the merchandising trade is tho
same here as in other parts of Mex.
ico."
Agitation against the Chinese is
taxing definite form in several states
of Mexico, according to information
received in Aqua Prieta from Mexico
City. Several chambers of commerce.
and state governments are preparing
drafts of laws to be. submitted to
the state legislatures. 1t is consid-
cred probable that the present sesr
sion of the Mexican congress will b..
asked to consider the matter ma
tionally.
Reports indicate that the Chinese
question is arousing the keenest in
terest in the northern states, prin.
cipally in the vicinity of Torreon,
where a strong anti-Chinese senti-
ment has been prevalent for several
months. Such sentiment is not
prevalent in Aqua Prieta, although
there are many Chinese engaged in
business there.
There is no treaty of amity and
commerce existing between China and
Mexico at present. A, treaty signed
10 years ago was recently declared
void by the Mexican government. Ne
gotiations are now being carried oul
by the two powers with a view of
forming a new treaty similar to one
recently adopted by Mexico and Japan.
