Farr lasted the Is rounds. Farr
was practically stronger at the end
Of the Is rounds than when he

MEXICO IN MIDST
OF 0FSPEND|NCDR|VE
Budget of 418,555,OOO Pc.
sos Largest in History
of Republic.
BY JACK STARR-HUNT.

New York Herald d-Tribune Correspondent.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 25-simul-
taneously with sending the 1923 budget
to the Congress for approval, Presi-
dent Lazaro Cardenas has asked for
special appropriation to cover a deficit
OF 34,066,874 pesos in this years ex-
penditures. The figures released on
expenditures for 1887 and on the
budget for 1888 reveal Mexico to be
in the midst of her biggest spending
program in the history of the country.
Although large sums have been spent
in development here in the past they
were usually foreign capital devoted
to the establishment of new industries
such as oil, mining, railroads, etc.
The significance of the present
spending program is that it is all in
the hands of the federal government
and is principally devoted to public
works such as highways, dams, i'm
provement of ports, to improving the
living conditions of the people through
sanitation and education, and to
financing domestic industry and agri-
culture.
Budget Under 81 Spending.
Although the budget for 1898, of
1885, 900 pesos. is the largest in the
history OF Mexico, it is less than the
amount actually spent for the current
year. This years budget Of $50, ,O0O, 900
pesos was expanded to the amount
Of 457,900,343 pesos, which is the
largest sum ever spent by the federal
government in single year.
The largest increase made in any
budget was given to the Department
of Indian Affairs, which had its ap-
preparation jumped from 100000 pesos
to 2,500,00 pesos. This increase re-
fleets the intense interest of President
Cardenas in the improvement of the
lot of the Indian through education
and sanitation.
The newly erected Department of
Infant Welfare also received an in
creased budget and next year will
spend 5,530,000 pesos. Chief work Of
this department will be to decrease
infant morality through education
and hygiene. since underpopulation
is one of Mexico's gravest problems.
3,eoo,oee Pesos for Bank,
Appropriation Of 70, 900 900 pesos for
the National Bank of Ejidal Credit will
finance this independently Of the Ma
tional Bank of Mexico which has for
merly sponsored it. Three million

opment Bank.
Only the most pressing obligations
will be covered in the budget Of 81
