TENCD PREPRRES | - TOHAT BXODIS Government - Officials Study eans to End Migration of Peons to U. S. | —_— | | BriCable to The Star. { MEXICO CITY, January 17.—While, the United States is considering meas- ures to restrict immigration from Mex- | jod the Mexican government is studying theé question of keeping its citizens at hotne. Acting Secretary of the Intetiof Felipe | Canales announced today that Mexico | coésidered the problem of the utmost | importance and that President Portes Gil is determined to reach a practical solution soon. The President has instructed the socretaries of foreign affairs, treasury. | interior and industry, commerce and iahor to work jointly fo stem the exodus..( During 1928 100,000 Mexican workers | emigrated to the United States, accord- ing to an estimate by Secretary Canales. The secretary said that government records showed that since 1910—World War vears excepted—Mexican emigrants to ‘the United Statss have steadily in- creased. In 1910, there were 25,000, in 1920, there were 50,000 and in 1827 the tolal was 74,000. Senor CTanales | estimated that most of last year's emi- grants left the country secretly. He/ said both ccnntries maintained insufi- cient border ;atrols. One reason for the Jlabor. exodus, which increas2s during the cotton-pick- ing seasons in the South, is the higher | wages paid north of the Rio Grande. Most laborers are satisfled to _remlm‘ away only three or four months, and upon their return are idle as long as| their American earnings last Acting Foreign Secretary Genaro Estrada said that the Mexican govern- ment sympathized with the American efforts to reduce immigration, but added that relief could not be found in legis- lation because the Mexican workers were forced by economic conditions to seek occupation elsewhersy He said the | only solution was_establishment of vast | public works in Mexico and that this| was being carried out as far-as the limited budget permitted.
