Mexico City. Feb. Rl-Effor.s by the United States to limit immi- grafton from Mexico have dove-tail- ed with the Mexican governments own vigorous campaign to stem the northward flow of citizens. The re- cent wholesale exodus of Mexican citizens has created grave prob lem.
 In calling the matter to the at tention of his cabinet, Presden. Portes Gil pointed out that emi- grafton of Mexicans is no more de- sirable to Mexico than it is to the country of their destination. He outlined a plan for stemming the outflow and various of the govern ment departments have set to work on the project.
 The president penetrated direct ly to the roots of the problem and found that lack of employment on this side of the Rio Grande is its principal cause. lie gave orders that the cause be combatted.
 It is hoped that by creating new industries and rearranging the tar ifs so as to give Mexico produc- ton a maximum protection the field for employment yill be greatly eX- banded.
 By redoubling it's program of ir- rigation works the government plans to open up vast tracts of land for agriculture. giving occu- patton to many thousands, and it's announcement that 40,000,000 pe- sos will be spent in the next four years in road construction dis closes its endeavors to better the system of communications and thus improve the situation by providing the farmer with a means of getting his products to the market.
