Eastern Cleans Up
GEORGETOWN Preps

Eastern High School made it
two victories in two days by de-
feating Georgetown Prep, 3 to 3.
The day before Eastern whipped
Dewitt Prep, 3 to 2. Quinn and

GALES BOYCOTT
ORDER M|N|M|zED
Mexican Embassy Says De-
cree Was Not Actually En-
barge Against This Country.

The Mexi.an embassy, in formal
statement issued last night, contends
that the decree of the Gales govern
ment prohibiting purchase of certain
goods in the United States is not actu-
ally a boycott directed against this
country but is designed to avoid the
possibility of the American Govern
ment holding up such shipments.
Private commercial houses in Mexico
may purchase freely within the United
States, the embassy holds, so the de-
cree cannot be construed as an en-
barge.
Why Decree Was Issued.
President Gales was prompted TO
issue the decree, it was said, as re.
suit of the American embargo on ship
mentG of arms to Mexico, which has
caused long delays of all government
purchases at American custom. houses
and in some instances shipments have
been prevented. The embassy men
toned in this connection purchase OF
several airplanes in California. which
the United States Government held up
at the border.
In the future, the embassy explains,
such material as may be required by
the Mexican government will be pur-
chased abroad instead of in the United
States.
United States Manufacturers Protest.
In this connection, it was learned
that a protest has been lodged with
the State Department by American
manufacturers of airplanes on the
ground that the embargo does not pre-
vent the Mexican government securing
planes, but compels that government
to buy them in Europe. American
business is suffering in consequence,
the complaint stated.
The State Department has taken
the position in the past that the arms
embargo has helped stabilize the Cal
les government by preventing revo-
lutionists from securing arms in the
United States.
