PORTO RICANS
WANT CHANCE
TO SHIP FRUITS
SAN JUAN, June 27 (Correspond
ence of Associated Press).—Fruit
growers of Porto Rico have asked the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to equip
one hundred steamships as refrigera
tor vessels to carry fruit not only be
tween Porto Rico and the mainland
but between the United States, South
America and European countries.
The fruit growers have submitted
to the corporation a memorandum say
ing that each ship should have from
100,000 to 200,000 cubic feet of re
frigerator space. They assert that
last year they lost money on their
products because of insufficient ton
nage and because none of it was
equipped with even partial refrigera
tion facilities. The statement declares
that, aside from the lines engaged in
the banana-carrying trade, the United
States has not more than a dozen
partly-equipped insulated refrigerator
ships.
These proposed refrigerator ships,
it is urged by the fruit growers,
should have a speed of from twelve
to fourteen knots. It is pointed out
that few freighters of such speed now
are afloat. The Porto Ricans argue
that shipping from the United States
to South America must pass through
the tropics, and that in doing so per
ishable products carried in the holds :
of ordinary ships are delivered in
variably in a partly-damaged condi- <
tion. They say also that refrigerator
ships are needed to carry apples from
North Atlantic ports, such as New <
York, Philadelphia and Boston, to Eng- ]
land and Scotland, and that for lack
of such ships apples now suffer loss i
in transit. 1
They estimate that the crops of or- i
binges, grapefruit and pineapples for 1
the coming season probably will J
iouble that of last year, and foresee <
i heavy loss unless adequate ships of
in insulated type are provided to ]
;arry these crops. ]

ELECTION IN
MEXICO GROWS
IN INTEREST
MEXICO CITY, July 1 (Correspond
ence of Associated Press).—Although
the presidential election in Mexico ts
not scheduled to be held until July of
next year, political alignments are
taking form.
The newspaper Excelsior, in a re
cent issue, reviewing the political sit
uation, declared that a canvass of the
governors of the various states showed
these chiefs to have the following
preferences: Ten for General Alvaro
Obregon, five for General Pablo Gon
zales, one for Luis Cabrera, secretary
of the treasury; one for Aguirre Ber
langa, secretary of the interior; one
for a civilian candidate as yet un
named and undecided. These varied
selections give some hint, at least, as
to what men are being considered for
the honor.
General Obregon at present is not
in active army service, being engaged
in private business in Sonora. Gen.
Gonzales is at the head of the govern
ment forces of Oaxaca, following his
pacification of the state of Morelos,
culminating in the death of Zapata.
He has not openly pronounced him
self a candidate, but has issued sev
eral letters in which he challenges
statements credited to General Obre
;on, and in one asks the latter to sign
i pact with him that, in any event,
he decision at the polls will be final.
General Obregon as yet has not re
plied.
It is rumored in the capital that sev
eral generals now in the field have
residential ambitions.
El Heraldo de Mexico, a newcomer
n the journalistic field here, is at
empting to unite the various factions
n Mexico into one political party
vhich, agreeing in matters of govern
nental policy, shall determine upon a
landidate and elect him.
To date none of the leading news
>apers of the capital has publicly
dedged its support to any avowed or j
>otential candidate.
