Matamoros and Brownsville
Bodies Will Make
Representations

Matamoros and Brownsville
chambers of commerce will join IN
a request to President PorteS Gil
and the secretary of state that the
new immigration regulations, which
are limiting travel between the two
cities, be modified, Ernesto Urtus-
astegui, president Of the Mata-
moros chamber said in a statement
to the press Saturday.
He expressed the belief that the
regulations were being misinter-
preted and that the desired modifi-
cations would be granted.
THE MatamoroS and Brownsville
chambers of commerce" says the
statement, have been studying the
new immigration DEGREES, and both
institutions, convinced of the in
jury the ruling is causing to the
commerce Of both cities, have
agreed to make representations to
the president Of the republic and
the secretary Of state asking modi-
fications that the damage to bus

AT this time, when the federal
government is doing so much to

BORAH BALKS
STIMSON ACT
Senator Declares Protests
Had Originated In
United States

WASHINGTON, July 13.-(P)-A
denial by Secretary Stimson of pub
lished reports that Canada had
protested against provisions Of the
house tariff bill prompted Chair
man Borah Of the senate foreign
relations committee to declare to-
day he had thought all along
that these supposed protests from
Canada originated in the United
States"
The Stimson statement had ref
erence to reports that Canadian
Minister Massey had made oral
representations to the secretary re-
garding the proposed duties on
shingles, lumber and feeder cattle,
and rumors that Great Britain had
threatened to impose a tariff on
American wheat.
The reports pictured the admin
iStration as being much concerned
over the protests and threats.
II wish to deny unequivocally, .
said Mr.. Stimson, that any such
statement a made by the Cana
dian minister or any representative
Of the Canadian government to me
or any representative of this gov
eminent.
Further tariff activity was de-
voted to continuation of public
hearings on the house bill. Four
senate finance subcommittee vir-
tually completed hearings on the
free list. Only one witness from
Illinois who could not come here
until Monday and some independ-

tourist traffic il created. These
rulings will seriously hamper the
traffic which had been so pleas
antly initiated.
THE Brownsville and MatamorcS
chambers Of commerce believe that
the application Of these regulations
is being made under n fales inter-
probation Of their meaning, as they
do not conform to the general poll
cies Of the government in this re-
Spect.
"The directors OF the Matamoros
Chamber Of Commerce have been
holding a series Of meetings to de-
eide the best form of protest to be
made and how best to present it to
the authorities in Mexico City.
According to information fur
nished by well informed authorities,
we understand that the protests to
be entered will be well received BY
the government.
"AS this matter Is of vital i'm
portance to both Brownsville and
Matamoros we have decided to
continue to inform the public Of
progress Of the negotiations"
