MEXICO CITY, January 4 (N.A.
MAJ Mexico today is the ideal tour
list land of this continent, accessible by
rail, sea, air and, as far as Monterey,
by motor car.
The City of Mexico may be reached
in 48 hours by train from the border; it
is a daylight flight from Laredo and
Vera Cruz is two or three days by boat
from Galveston, depending upon the
speed of the boat. One may land at
Tampico and fly to the city of Mexico
in two hours, journey of SO hours by
rail.
In another year, the government
promises, the City of Mexico will be
connected by an excellent highway with
Laredo. Hotels will be built along the
beautiful trail through mesa and noun
tains; new tourist hotel already is
under construction at Monterrey This
highway to relieve the fears of timid
ones, will be patrolled by motor cycle
patrolmen and garrisoned at intervals
very likely, by federal soldiers.
But it is now that Mexico is the ideal
tourist land. The country Is still virgin
The rural communities, many of them
are still primitive. Three-fourths of the
City Of Mexico remains labyrinth OF
mystery.
The visitor is received not as tour
list, to be overcharged and fooled in
the bargain, as he is on European trails
for the innocent.
In the tourist paths Of the City of
Mexico, of course, the uninitiated
probably will be overcharged as in any
other tourist land, but the overcharge
does not exceed the ordinary charge in
the United States.
A few years hence, with the govern
ment educational program in effect,
with highways unWinding, communica-
tons strung, aviation developing

ment of a mass meeting in Faneuil Hal
called in protest of the killing by Coast
Guardsmen of three rum runners off
Newport, r. l., last Sunday. The pos
ters were ripped from their standards
and trampled under foot Their iron
frames were bent and kicked about the
sidewalk. The attending officer was
powerless to resist.
Posters at the South Station were
found torn down when Coast Guards
reported there for recruiting duty yes
terday morning. The signs were re-
stored in both places and the guards
returned to duty under instructions to
indulge in no violence, but to protect
Government property as far as possible.
Shortly afterward the guards left their
posts.

ARMS CONFERENCE
SITE IS HISTORICAL
St. James Palace First Be-
came Royal Residence of
Queen Anne in 1893.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 4.-Quiet old st.
James Palace, which will be the meet
ing place for the coming naval disarma-
ment conference, Is one of the best
loved buildings in old London.
The. history of st. James Palace is
one OF peace. For all its cancellations
and the relocated guards that all day
long pace up and down before 1t, 1t
has never know shot and shell.
1t first became the official royal resi-
dence in 1898, after the burning down
of the Palace of Whitehall. Queen
Anne and all the Georges lived in It,
and 1t was the principal home of VIII
liam ~. Since then the official resi-
dence Of the royal family has been
Buckingham Palace, but the British
court is still oficialy "the Court of st.
James," and the royal levees are still
held in the older building.
The sixteenth century gate house (the
portion of the palace which is seen
looking down st. James street, is its
finest architectural feature, and the
range of rooms to the west of it form
York House, the London home of the
Prince of Wales, which is now regarded
as forming separate building.
Inside the palace is a fine range of
state apartments.
The banqueting room or state room,
in which the plenary sessions of the
conference will be held, is long, low
chamber of dignified appearance, the
walls of which are lined with royal
portraits. It is none too large for its
intended purpose, and the activities of
the conference will certainly overflow
into the drawing room. Queen Anne's
drawing room and the throne room
the last of which is a particularly
sumptuous apartment, with a great
white marble chimney piece and cary
ings by England's greatest wood carver,
Grinling Gibbons.
At least three big international con-
ferences, including the meeting of the
Council of the League of Nations in
1920, have been held at the palace, and
many gatherings of lesser Importance
have met within its walls.

entire plan for financial retrenchment

Henry Seidemann, member Of the

the Dominicans apply the ak to all
government departments, modernize
methods and prevent the graft which
formerly cost thousands of dollars and
which will now be impossible. due to
the simplihed accounting system and

This system, which. observers state,
Mr.. Dawes considered a model even
