"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.

Special sound-proof rooms hare beeri built so
that you may coVer the first point. Not just'
glass partitions, but insulated walls that will
enable you t6 THOROUGHLY TEST any instru
ment, any record. These rooms are considered
by the Victor Company as being the best in this
part of the country. ,
A special FREE TRIAL or approval plan enables you to
try out any Victrola in your own home, the'place where it has
to make good.
