LA PRENSA. Spanish language

Herald with printing the first cor
rect version of the new regula-
tions concerning Mexican nationals,
coming into the United States be-
fore July first. 192l-in the story
telegraphed by II. L. Sexton. spe-
cial representative Of The Herald
in Washington, May ?. saying that
such Mexicans need only apply for
proper registration TO the nearest
immigration office. and pay
twenty dollars. TO legalize their
residence in the United States.
The doubt thrown on this by Sr.

eral in San Antonio. that the ar
rangement was only for MexicanS
applying for citizenship in this
country. has finally been cleared
by a telegram from Hon. John ".
Garner to the Laredo Chamber OF
Commerce. confirming Mr. Sexton's
ntory and stating definitely that all
Mexicans arriving before the date
named may have the benefit OF
this arrangement.
