SEEKS TRADE
THE national government is
reaching out for trade and does
not want anything to interfere
with that object. Where any
regulation needs a change, a
change will be made" Mr.. Bow
man said at the meeting.
The immigration department
is sincere in its wish TO relieve
the sluggish trade situationexist
ing on the border. Personalities
must be forgotten, friction must
be eliminated. Ooly in that man
DER can we find q way to bring
back business to Nogales," Bow

that no crossing restrictions ex
listed on the border prior to the
world war. Restrictions we're
placed as a war measure and the
