that the Mexican government does

The following article on the pro-
posal to establish a free zone or
port at MeXicah. has been sent 10
The Press by one Of CaleXico S
lsading businessmen, requesting
publication that readers may be in
formed On the free zone matter.
1T is staicd by Manuel San
taella. secretary OF the MeXicali
Chamber of Commerce. that the
federal decree establishing a free
zone or port at MexicaH probably
will be published about May l.
This will be the second free port
TO be established on the American
border by MeXico-the first being
at Tijuana. It is definitely report
ed that the federal commission
which recommended Mexicali be
made a Tree port has or will rec
ommend free ports at FL PaSo,
probably Nogales and other ports Of
entry on the American border.
The Mexican government states
the policy IS 10 benefit settlers IL
these territories but American COM
mercial interests point cut that
free ports are contemplated only
at American ports OF entry and that
the one ut Tijuana is limited to
the city Of Tijuana. so that it must
be accepted that the Mexican pol
icy is aimed at American merchants
aid manufacturers.
Up TO this time little ASiatic
CT European merchandise has come
into the territory adjacent to the
United STATES. Two reasons are
given for this. First, the foreign
manufacturer was compelled to put
UP heavy duties to enter the terri
tory. On the average for every
dollar of Ms manufacturing cost he
would have to advance one to Two
dollars for duty. If the duties were
reduced he lost. The second reason
vas that the territory was small

Of free ports against the American

asts also believe that they will
suffer loss not only in the Mexican
territory adjacent but also in the
United States since they expect a
considerable volume Of foreign goods
will find its way into the United
States at these points They point
out that the Mexican policy has
the effect Of establishing ware
