MEXICO CITY, January 12.—Coin- cident with the publication here of dis- patches from Washington that five bills are awaiting congressional action to-de- termine if the quota law shall be applied to Mexico and the Central and South American countries, the department of the interior announced yesterday that a conference will be callea to draw up a simplified system of controlling immi- gration between the Untted States and Mexico. The conference, the announcement states, will be made up of representa~ tives of the interior department and the foreign affairs secretariat and will seek to formulate a plan acceptable to both countries for their mutual benefit. Mexico’s official viewpoint, as under- stood here, is that any measure to re- strain the exodus of 1aborers to the United States would be welcomed, but at the same time Mexico cannot see without protest legislation passed in Washington which would discriminate between Mexico and the other Latin countries. The existing laws are a failure, in the opinion of the department of the in- terior, which now recommends that the regulations should be so remodeled as to make them workable and effective. The regulations should be amended to elim- inate “the obstacles now found to inter- fere continually with the smooth func- tioning of the existing legislation.” Sim- plification of the laws now is being urged.
