The new volume of the Ameri-
can Jewish Year Book again pre-
sents the complex picture of Jew
ish life against the background of
world events. Basically factual,
the YEAR BOOK still manages
to indicate the dramatic high
lights of 1928, the year under
review. One naturally turns to
the YEAR BOOK for the latest
estimates of the populations of
various Jewish communities in

MEXICO CITY R - Mexico, q
chief critic Of u. S. efforts to fight
communism in the Americas stood
ready today to join in a hemi-
spheric study Of charges that the
Reds boss neighboring Guatemala.
Acting Foreign Minister Jose
Gorostiza announced last night his
government would 60 along with
the general sentiment" among
the American republics for such q
review.
Since Mexico has been one Of
Guatemala's staunchest defenders
in this hemisphere, her consent
virtually assured the holding of an
inter-American conference to find
out what is going on in the banana.
producing republic 1000 miles
northwest of the Panama Canal.
Gorostiza's statement recalled

tense pact any country is entitled
to ask for a meeting to discuss de.
tense matters. Thus, he said, Mex
leo sis in accord" with recent in.
formal proposals for session.
There was no indication yet who
would call the conference. The
United States would like to see one
of the Latin republics take the

co was one Of three countries which
did not support a U.S..sponsored
resolution condemning Red infiltra-
ton in the Americas. She abstained
along with Argentina. Guatemala
voted against it.
The United States argued that
establishment Of Communist gov
eminent in the Americas was in
Prevention from abroad, to be COM
bated under the terms of the Rio
defense pact.
Mexico's Foreign Minister Luis
Padillo Nervo argued that it was a
country's own affair If it wanted
to set up a Red government.
The apparent reversal of this
policy by last nights announce

3. Does the borrower have adequate land
adapted or potentially adapted to the in
tended use? If potential, does his plan con-
template its development? Many livestock
operations have been started with too little
land to permit adequate feed production or
sound grazing practices. Also land varies in
its capabilities.
4. Are anticipated returns soundly based
or do they overlook inflated markets and
abnormal weather cycles?
5. Does the borrowers financial plan in

The present sugar act expires in the fis-

the new law will commence early in 1855.
Domestic beet sugar manufacturers and
beetgrower organizations are preparing to
insist on return to the percentage basis of
determining sugar quotas in the new law.
But they are going to meet strong opposition
from consumer groups, manufacturers who
use sugar, and other interests which would
like to see sugar prices on world market
level.
The final outcome may depend largely
upon the position taken by the Department
of Agriculture. Secretary Benson has said
to Congress on the revision of the sugar act.
But he has not indicated what his views are
on the subject.
Since the secretary grew up in sugar
beet producing state and is thoroughly IA
miliar with the Importance of sugar beets to
irrigation farming and western agricultural
development, growers are hopeful that he
will take position that will be helpful to
their cause.
