atmosphere Of mutual understanding
Of the difficulties which will have
to be overcome and appreciation OF
the necessity that any agreement
which may be signed must be Just
for the bondholders and subject to
Mexico's capacity to pay, while TAX
ing into consideration the necessity
that Mexico shall regain her credit
abroad"
The bankers representatives in the
Anderson, J.. T.. Sterrett and Graham
Mexico City conference were Mr..
Ashmead. Mexico's representative
was Luis Monies de oca, finance
minister.
The agreement on Mexico's foreign
debt, which amounts to about $1,000
600, was negotiated in 1925. This
superseded a previous agreement,
and under IL Mexico made remit
tances 10 the bankers committee
throughout 1926 and 1927. The com
mittee, in turn, distributed il among
the bondholders.
The modified agreement provides
that full service on the debt should
90 into effect in 1928, but Mexico
has announced itself unable to COM
ply with the schedule of payments
and has made no remittances for this
year, although back payments have
been taken care of.

NEW YORK. Nov. IA new
agreement on the Mexican foreign
debt is being negotiated, and pre-

and the Mexican government. accord

Thomas W. Lamont. chairman of the
international committee of bankers
on Mexico.
Mr.. Lamont said that Arthur NJ.

These representatives are return

Mexican government and the holders
OF the Mexican external debt.

Contrasting the new game Of Con-

Lack Of news from Point Barrow,

here as an indication that he was
going ahead with plans for . flight

Spitzbergen, 2,100 miles away, be.
ginning at 6 o'clock this morning
$3.50 q. m. Pacific time). So far
as was known here, only. adverse
weather would prevent the take.off.
In a wooden monoplane piloted BY
Lieut.. Carl Ben Eielson, his COM
panion on two previous arctic ex-
plorations, wilkins expects to chart
the upper air currents and take
soundings Of the Arctic ocean. He
hopes to find the tabled lost con-
tinent which most arctic explorers
have reported sighting but which
has never been reached.
Has Trouble With Radio
wilkins planned to radio his take
off and report the progress Of his
flight with q 33.1 meter radio set.
During his 17-day stay at Barrow,
the explorer has had much difficult
ty communicating with the outside
because Of his unfamiliarity with
radio, motor generator trouble and
frequent interference Of amateur
stations sending on his wave length.
For these reasons II was admitted
~ conceivable that word Of his take
off might not be received until the
slow arctic communications systems
carry out the word. News from
Barrow, under favorable conditions,
will reach the outside in about .
month.
The plane in which the aviatora
hope to fly over the top Of the world
is equipped with skis for making
landings on the arctic ice. In the
event the pair are forced to aban-
don their plane they are equipped
to live off the country indefinitely.
