COMMODITIES RATIONED IN
US. MAY BE PURCHASED BY
MEXICANS IN NEAR FUTURE
Announcement Of New Shopping Plan Scheduled To
Be Made By OPA Within Next Ten Days,
Says Washington Dispatch

Certain commodities ratiOned
in the United States may be
purchased by Mexicans living
near the American border, un-
der plans now being worked out
by representatives of the Ameri-
can state department and the
Mexican government, according
to press dispatches from Wash
ingtOn yesterday.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton said announcement of the plans
would be made within the next 10
days.
Congressman from districts along
the border have learned that ration
ing coupons will be issued only to
Mexicans living within 20 kilomet-
ers of the boundary Plans are to
issue no such coupons for sugar or
coffee, and to allow meat purchases
only in a limited number of cases.
Provision is expected to be made
for Mexicans to purchase commodi-
ties they normally buy in American
communities, such as flour, lard and
beans.
Congressman explained that the
plans still are in tentative stage.
From Nogales, Ariz., it was re-
ported in Washington that the plan
would affect more than $4,000 per-
sons living in the Nogales district of
Sonora. Nogales, Arizona, long has
been a shopping center for persons
living just south of the border, and
stores carry stocks based on the
needs of the entire trading area.

Mexico City is the only major
metropolis left in the hemi-
sphere without rationing of any
kind. Prices have climbed but
there is more money in circula-
ton and the capital has a carni-
val air.
People are coming here to forget
or escape-the war, not to feel it..
The normal tourist traffic of school,
teachers. the once-ubiquitous Amer
ican motorist and the like, have
dropped off nearly to zero, but a
new kind of wartime travel has
taken it's place in boom proportions.
International Set
Scores of Americans, alone and
with their families, have been pour
ing into Mexico City to stay for the
duration. They include many peo-
gle who in prewar days were known
as the international set on the
Riviera, in Shanghai and Singapore.
They include also a sprinkling of
would-be draft dodgers, but their
number is being gradually reduced
as result of a Washington
agreement on mutual checkup of
"eli~ibles" for army service.
Mexico installed its own draft
after declaring war on the Axis 10
months ago and draft-age foreign
ers may find themselves caught in
| it.
You see more and more American

they are United States Air Forces
men on their way to or from Carib-

attempting to iron out priorities for
