The state departments action to-

ed out to some other foreign nation
without paying u. S. customs. The
goods may be proceSsed while at
the Brownsville port. and IL is con-
sidered likely this will result In the
establishment Of processing plants
here 10 process Mexican raw ma
terials for shipment to foreign ma
tons.
The board which has the power 10
create such a zone consists OF the
Secretary Of Commerce, who Is
chairman; the Secretary Of the
Treasury: and the Secretary Of War.
The Brownsville Navigation dis
trict would be required to stand
the expense OF customs men at the
port to check such shipments.
A copy OF the act has been receiv-
ed here by Captain Brulay, who has
been interested in the matter for
some time, and has communicated
with various officials regarding IL.
Once In Past
Once in the past. during the Diaz
regime, a free zone was created
along the northern border OF Next
CO by that nation. However, 1t did
not work out satisfactorily because
Of smuggling.
The proposed free zone here would
be operated differently. with the
merchandise concentrated at one
place, and kept under bond.
The application was sent TO Con-
gresham Milton II. West, who Is
handling the matter with the board
at Washington.
Belief that early favorable action
will be taken was expressed here.
The bill was drawn with a view
OF expediting and increasing for
eign commerce." Mr.. Brulay said.
1T will permit all foreign mer-
chandise OF whatever description,
excepting that which is prohibited
by law. to enter free Of duty,
without being subject to the Gus
toms laws OF the United States.
The merchandise may be kept
within the confines Of the zone for
a period Of two years. During these
two years the owner OF the mer-
chandise viii be permitted to re-
pack, mix with foreign or domestic
goods all or any part Of his mer-
chandise and will be required to pay
duty only when the goods enters
customs territory Of the United
States"
The Brownsville Navigation dis
trict would be permitted to allow
persons Dr. firms to erect buildings
and other facilities to meet their re-
quirements.
The zone would be operated as a
utility subject to such treaties
commercial conventions now in
force. or hereafter to be made by
the United States with foreign gov
ernmentS.
This is the most important phase
of the bill as the location Of the
Brownsville port. which almost
touches the Mexican boundary, will
make possible treaties embodying
terms that will insure maximum
cooperation from Mexico which is
the aim of the navigation board"
concluded Mr.. Brulay.

PARIS, June 26.-A challenge to
clash on the field Of honor was flung
today at Jean Borotra, Bounding
Basque" of French tennis fame.
Didier Poulain, sports writer for the
newspaper Auto, issued the call to
arms to Paris favorite tennis player
just as the capitals favorite politi-
clan, Jean Chiappe, prepared peaceful
settlement of another projected duel.
The proposed encounter between
Chiappe, president of the Paris mu-
nicipal council, and his predecessor,
Pierre Godin, was expected to be
called of because of insufficient
grounds" representative for one of
them indicated.
Chiappe. former Paris police pre-
feet, challenged Godin because of
criticism of his police administration.
The def against Borotra rose almost
simultaneously with the apparent set
tlement of the previous dispute.
Poulain, who has been engaged in a
war of words with Borotra in Paris
newspapers, accused the tennis star
of insulting him in the columns of
the writer's own newspaper.
Poulain charged Borotra with "let-
ting down France" by declining to
play singles in the Davis Cup compe-
tition, and sent his seconds to VIM
bledon, where the Bounding Basque"
is playing in the all-England tennis
championships.
A decision in the dispute was not
expected until the Wimbledon cham
pionships are ended and Borotra re-
turns to Paris.

TRADE CHIEFS ASK
MONEY STABILITY
Sibley and Filene Lead World
Chambers Farm Dis.
eussi0n.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 26.-Leaders Of the
American delegation to the World
Congress Of the International Cham
bers of Commerce took the stand to-
day that stabil:zatIon of world cur
rencies must pe the first step toward
international trade recovery.
Thomas j. Watson. president Cf the
International Business Machine Corp,
replying to an assertion by British
cotton industry representatives that
sterilization is Of secondary import
ance to a wholesale rise in commodity
prices. declared:
"Stabilization is not a cure-all. but
we must begin somewhere, aad the
breaking down Of currency walls
brings necessary relief tc world a ade."
Harper Sibley, president of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
and Edward A. Filene, Boston dele
gate, led discussions of the inter-
national congress On agricultural pro-
duction and distribution methods
Filene, Boston merchant, told the
congress that the world must adopt
a system of distribution capable of
supplying an outlet for mass produc-
ton.
The Bostonian's plea for world
adoption of a voluntary chain system
of Independent stores for distribution
and purchase created a stir at the
congress and brought approval from
many leading European merchants.
Filene cited as an example the
United States, where, he said, "un-
sound radicalism until recently failed
to get hearing and the recent success
Of radicals is basically due to bad
distribution"
He said that unless production found
an adequate distribution, the standards
of living would drop, and "the masses
would not only listen to agitators, but
would tend to become agitators them
selves"
Sibley, speaking on agricultural
production, said: Other nations may
not find it practicable or wise to follow
a curtailment program similar to that
Of the United States, but so long as
surpluses continue, prosperity cannot
return without some form Of produc-
ton control"
