POLITICS IN MEXICO.
With the presidential election leis
than six months away, the political
situation in Mexico is so obscure
that it is impossible to state defi
nitely whether there are three or
six candidates, says an Associated
Press correspondent, writing from
Mexico City.
President Carranza has been em
phatic in his statements that he in
tends to retire when his term of
office expires next December. He
has declared for honest elections
and a peaceful transfer of power.
A recent conference of seventeen
Mexican governors held in the na
tional capital took cognizance of
their chief’s attitude by issuing a
manifesto to the people in which
they pledged their support to the
legally elected president. The gov
ernors’ conference was declared by
the local press to have deep po
litical significance, inasmuch as
elaborate plans were made by the
executives for holding elections, each
governor to exercise complete con
trol over the voting in his state.
One significant part of their pro
gram was the elimination of the
federal army from politics. Thi
was in accord with a recent ordei
from the war department, made al
the direction of President Carran
za, to the effect that army mer
must not meddle in politics.
Generals Obregon and Gonzales
are conducting vigorous campaigns
each beinp aided by an official news
paper. Ignacio Ponillas is an avow
ed candidate, although as yet he
has not forsaken his ambassadorial
duties in Washington.
If the present administration fa
vors one of the three announced
candidates—Obregon. Gonzales, or
Ponillas—it has kept the fact care
fully concealed. Obregon and Presi
dent Carranza appear to have brok
en after a friendship of many years'
standing, and El Monitor Repubi
cano, the Obregon organ, is vehe
ment in its attacks upon the presi
dent.
CANADIAN FISHERIES.
Formation of an international
fisheries council to direct the chart
ing of the great fishing beds, ex
tending from the Arctic to the Ba
hamas and from Bering sea to the
fortieth parallel on the Pacific
coast, is the aim of the convention
to be held at Vancouver June 3. 4,
and 5 of the Canadian Fishers as
sociation.
Experts from the United States.
England, Newfoundland, and Can
ada have been invited to attend.
The international council, accord
ing to present plans, will chart the
depth of the fishing beds and ac
cumulate data on the breeding and
migration of fish.
In addition, the convention will
suggest changes in regulations gov
erning the catching and marketing
of fish with a view to enlargement
of the Canadian export trade.
Captain F. W. Wallace, secretary
of the association, said the United
States secretary of commerce and
the head of the fisheries bureau will
be invited to be present.
LONDON OUTGROWING
BUSY TRADE CENTER
LONDON’. — Lord Montagu of
Beaulieu predicts that within a few
years the congestion of traffic in
central London will compel the
building of overhead railways and
;of higher buildings. Neither street
j railways nor tubes, as they exist
. today, he says, will be adequate to
convey the daily traffic,
i The skyscrapers of New York, he
;adds, are magnificent and strikingly
; beautiful. The atmosphere above
the streets is far purer than lower
I down, and the more or less perma
[nent smoky layer over London is
seldom higher than 150 feet in nor
|mal weather.
j Mike Cooney, who left a week
;ago today for the coast end of the
(Broad Pass trail, reported from
j Moreno’s, on the return trip, today
land will spend the night there. He
| reports- that' he has a big load ol
1 freight and experienced no difficuttj
, on the .trip, the trail being in fin<
j condition. Harry Davis was a pass
ienger on the trip to the coast.
Nick Mandle, one of the most ac
tive of the contractors on the Gov
emment railroad project in Alaska
who went out for the winter Iasi
fall, has landed a contract for some
construction work on the Skagil
river project. The contract calls foi
a construction price of $67,000.
