Stimson whether he was agreeable to
such action. Stimson replied af-

his proposal to the Russian and
Chinese ambassadors in Paris.

MEXICO PLANS
GRADUAL DRIVE
FOR PROHIBITION

MEXICO CITY, Nay 10. W.H) i
Prohibition in Mexico will be insti-
tuted gradually "and in a prudent
manner,o President Emilio Portes
Gil assured the public in his first
statement on the methods he VIII
use to make Mexico dry.
Since first announcing he would
begin a campaign against alcohol in
Mexico, Portes Gil has insisted he
was opposed to "represslVe me as
ures.'' and the proposals before the
public today outlined a steadily
tightening anti-wet drive, accom-
panied by intensive propaganda IN
every available field.
The success of the drive will de-
pend chiefly on the attitude of the
next administration, since Portes
CLIPS term of office ends Feb. .,
1880.
Portes Gil said national COM
mittee will direct the movement.
Assisted by subcommittee of varl-
Gus state departments including the
national health sections. Civilians
and technicians will be included IN
the national committees member
ship. -
In its first form, the drive Will
limit the sale of hard liquors, such
as gin, whiskey and absinthe, and
later will prohibit their manufac-
ture.
At the outset, whiskies and gins
would be sold only in sealed bottles
but fermented drinks and certain
distillates with low alcoholic per-
centages could be sold in bulk.
The Mexican presidents 8 prohibi-
tion drive will be a new departure
in that it will provide for numerous
social and health measures to be ap-
piled in conjunction with the anti
liquor laws. Among those are the
establishment of hospitals for al
coholics, better homes for workers,
and improved sanitation.
