lll'IH V 14 THE BEE: "OMAHA; SATURDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1920. "free Ports" for Mexico Arc Urged Before Congress K Proposed Law Provides for V Establishing Ports Where Goods Would Be , v Duly Free. Mexico City, Oct. 15. One of the bit, now More the Mexican cot gress, intended to encourage foreign capital to come here, provide for the opening of three ".free ports." One is tq, be at Puerto dc Mexico, f.n the Gulf of Mexico, below Veri Cruz; another at .Salina Cruz, on the west coast, and the third at Guay mas, in the state of Sonora, this being the home town of President de la Huerta. It is proposed to make these .three towns industrial and warehouse cen ters. Foreign merchants and manu facturers will be permitted to kliip into these dMrcts all sorts of ma terials, duty free. If the raw mate rials are manufactured into mer chantable goods in the free district? the goods may be shipped abroad wifliout the payment of duty. If .hipped into other parts of Mexico, the usual duty u to be paid. W1iil tlms wliflN are sunnortin? the bill believe that it will do much. toward adding to Mexico s indus tries, there is slrong opposition to the measure. Vera Cruz interests are fighting the bill because hey see in the pro posed "free port" of Puerto de Mex ico a blow to the prestige and im portance of Vera Cruz. Whisky Interests. ' i Other opposcr say that whisky peculators are hack of the "free oort" idea. i At present large quantities of whisky are stored at points along the border. Owners of this whisky are nermitted to store the liquor on the Mexican aide by paying one-half cf the usual duty, with the under standing that the remainder must be paid after a period of six months. If the owners are able to smuggle their whisky hack into the United States before the end of six mouths they escape the payment of full duty. At the "free "ports" owners of whisky could keep their liquor in storage for year without the pay ment of a cent. It would also be possible to build distilleries and operate them without any cost above that of labor and material. Other objectors assert that the 'irec ports" would encourage graft and smuggling. They say that the "free ports" would offer opportunity to all of the rascals in Mexico and throughout the world. About Powder Plant. , Guaymas, like Salina Cruz, 'is On the west coast, but is further north, pn the Gulf of California. That it was included among the proposed "free norts" is attributed to the in- , f lucnce of President de la Huerta, J Wlio is oeuevea lO ne oesiruus iu something to add to the prosperity of his home town. But that there is deeper policy . ? baktf the "free port" idea is mai cated by the hint that the Mexican government' would like to see the du Pouts build a great powder plant at one of the three ports, where powder could be manufactured for Mexico, f outh America and the Orient. Such an , industry would provide Mexico with a war plant to be seiz ed and operated by the government at any time of crisis. It is also hinted that in case of another revolution the warehouses of "free ports" would offer irre sistible temptation to looters. , 1 Boy Minus Clothes Dodges Picnickers o ,, V Youth Robbed of.
