MEXICO MAY RESTRICT
CHINESE IMMIGRATION
MEXICO CITY-July 2— As a re
sult of reports that large numbers of
Chinese are arriving in Mexico- most
of them in a bad state of health and
without money, it is said that a bill
will be presented in congress soon
urging that such Asiatic immigration
be restricted. It is feared the Chinese
will enter into direct competition with
Mexican labor and eventually force
d6wn the wage scale.
A treaty exists between Mexico and
China whereby mutual immigration is
unrestricted but. according to the
jiewspaper Excelsior* the situation is
so “alarming” that legislative action
is probable.
