GIL PROPOSES CUT
|NARMY EXPENSES
Mexico Will Give Attention to
Education and Public
Works, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, August S1-Presi-
dent Emilio Portes Gil tonight, in a
statement to the press outlining the
recommendations which he will sub
NIT to Congress tomorrow in his annual
message, said 1t would be possible next
year to begin gradual reduction of ap-
preparations for the army, which would
Itrmit extension of educational and
public work.
He believes that such recommended
lions are capable of realization, since
peace has been restored in Mexico and
since the government has guaranteed
impartial and legal presidential cleo
tions on November II, thus assuring
peaceful transmission OF power next
February"
A gradual reduction in the per cent
of the government budget assigned to
military purposes would be following
the universal tendency and satisfying
the wishes Of the public"
The President said he hesitated to
fix the lines Of the financial program
for next year, since his terms ends in
February, but that he considered 1t his
duty at least to make general recon-
mendationS.
He will advocate continuance of the
program of strict economy which has
enabled his government to maintain
public services at the usual efficiency
while reducing the domestic debt. At
the same time the government has
been able to confront the costs Of the
revolution last Spring and other ex-
traordinary circumstances without in
creasing taxation.
He would have democratic mod
esty" in all public expenses, and said
that money saved through reduction
of the war department appropriations
and in other fields should be devoted
In great part to expansion of the edu-
cational program, particularly in rural
communities. Adequate sums should
also be devoted to fostering national
industry, in order to reduce imports
and solve the unemployment problem.
The President recommends continual
ton of the development of air trans
port lines and the construction Of roads,
and urged necessary funds be set aside
to carry on the agrarian and irrigation
program.

10 De educated Ill HOW W ave, anu
I believe the greatest demand for this
education will come from our millions
of workers.
Today the largest increase in college
enrolment comes from the ranks of
the workers. It is the sons and daugh-
tiers of our carpenters, maSons, pud-
dies and mechanics who most want TO
go to college. Today we pride ourselves
on giving the great majority OF our
children a grammar school training:
Tomorrow we shall not be content until
all of our children will have higner
education. I believe we will have TO
build more trade schools, and then
more colleges for the thousands who
want to go on.
1t is the workers today who are con-
| tributing the largest number OF college,
| trained men and women to our popu-
! lation. AS people we rank today as
among the most intelligent of all; SO
years from now we shall be not only
| the most intelligent but the most highly
educated.
Not only will the interests Of the
| mind be better ministered to, but so
will those of the body and the heart.
! With the use of the automobile, the
| aeroplane and the zeppelin, believe we
shall see our great cities become fac
| tories, stores, banks and theaters, while
| the home is taken out into the country.
| The man or woman employed in factory,
| store or Office will so easily and swiftly
| move to the place of employment that
I believe no one will have to complain
as President Hoover did when he said:
1.-The enormous losses in human happi-
| ness and in money which have resulted
| from lack of city plans which take into
account the condition of modern life
need little proof. The lack OF adequate
open spaces, of playground and parks,
the congestion of streets, the misery OF
tenement life and its repercussions upon
each new generation are an untold
charge against American life. Our cities
do not produce their full contribution
to the sinews of American life and ma:
tional character. The moral and social
issues can only be solved by a new con-
ception of city building" z
Cities Are Waking UP.
Our cities are beginning to wake UP
to this backward situation, and be-
lieve these new and swift means OF
transportation will. enter into their
plans. look for the day when those
who work in the city will live next to
the wonders of nature, away from the
factory fumes and smoke and the herd
ing of tenements. They will know what
it is to enjoy quiet and beauty instead
of noise and dust. -.
All of this is within reach If W.
wisely handle the job we have at pres
emit. Some Of our toughest problems
I believe we are solving now. 1t was
but Yesterday we were alarmed at the
number of workers displaced by these
newer labor-saving machines. Employ
