» DEBTS OF MEXICO PUTATSAT4411.909 Statement Made Public as| Secretary Prepares for Conference on Payment. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, June 23.—With con- ferences between Secretary of Finances Montes de Oca and the international committee of bankers on Mexico open- ing at New York on Wednesday, the department of finances yesterday gave out a statement listing Mexico's indebt- | edness, ‘The country’s total capital indebted- ness and unpaid interest amounted to 946,958,898 pesos and 33 centavos (about $474.477,949). Of this sum, the capital indebtedness is 550,549,422 pesos and 25 centavos, the rest is interest. This represents debts contracted. up to 1914 and recognized by succeeding governments, plus the unpaid interest on those debts. Several attempts have been made to arrange for payment of the indebted- ness, culminating in a plan by which at the beginning of 1928 Mexico was to have paid 63,939,350 pesos ennually, but the government contended this was entirely beyond the country's ability to pay. The visit of Senor Montes de Oca to | the bankers' committee is being made with the object of reaching a basis for | the payment of the foreign debt. and it | is hoped here that a practicable ar- rangement will be found.
