10 * U. S, AND MEXICO TOHALTSHUEGLING Plans Under Way-for Treaty Similar to That Effected With Canada. Plans are under way looking toward &n anti-smuggling conference May 15 Tex.. between Mexican and American officials, with a view to negotiating a treaty. Secretary of State Kellogg has requested heads of the Treasury, Justice and Labor De- partments to designate officials who will represent this Government.

The sole object of the conference will be the negotiation of a treaty similar in scope to the pact arranged with Canada Treasury officlals have by instructed to_prepare at once all data bearing on border prob- lems, chief of which, from this depart ment’s viewpoint, is the smuggling of merchandise, liquor and narcotics. Increases in Smuggling Noted. Private advices received here indicate to officials that there have been im-| portant increases in the smuggling of merchandise and narcotics, while the liquor smuggling problem has been considerable ever since prohibi- tion went into effect The American Government is hope- ful of bringing about the fullest co operation with Mexico on the border, not only in preventing smuggling into the United States from the southern republic but from this country into Mexico. Smuggling into Mexico has increased during the last few years, due to changes in certain Mexican laws, and customs offic s believe an arrangement can be made by which o-operation along the border can pro- duce results desired by both govern- ments. Labor Department Problem. The Labor Department’s big prob- fem along the border has grown out of the tightened immigration restrictions In view of what is regarded here as the ease with which aliens may enter Mexico. Reports to officials frequently have shown that foreigners barred from the United States under quota ther restrictions, have sought en- v into the United States by way of A traffic in this sort of smug- 2 o have been set up with the aliens being sent from there to Mexican ports near the border and thence into the United States. Officials believe it will be pos- sible to check, if not entirely destroy, that sort of smuggling.
