|l NNOUNCEMEKT appeared in
The Herald yesterday to the
■feet that a St. Louis real estate
■mgage company is extending the
Acilities of its real estate loan de-
partment to property located in the
city of Brownsville.
The announcement is significant.
It means that St. Louis and territory
capital is being attracted by possible
investment profks in the city of
Brownsville. *
So far as know^ this is the first
time that such an pnnouncement ha3
bpen made from so distant a city. It
means that the word has gone forth
that Brownsville property is in de-
mand. If it is in demand then it
U worth looking into from the loan
The announcement appeared only
in The Brownsville Herald and in
St. Louis papers.

Five hundred families of Mexican
citizens resident in Cameron and
Willacy counties are planning to re-
turn to Mexico to be located on gov-
ernment lands according to Mexican
Consul Vasquez of Brownsville.
Which they have a perfect right to
do. But more important to the coun-
ties concerned is the statement of
reason at least in part for the pro-
posed exodus. He charges discrim'
ination in law enforcement and un-
fair economic conditions. The lat-
ter perhaps cannot be remedied. The
former can and should be remedied.
If our farmers are to have a plen-
tiful supply of labor the source of
that labor must receive the proper
treatment else it cannot be expected
to remuin here.

A good way to chase nway trade
is td tie up all parking places in
Ac business districts of the various
Valley cities.
Time limits should be fixed. Con-
certed action by all the Valley
towns as suggested by the new Li»w-
^ er Rio Grande Valley Automobile
Club would'seem to be a good way to
go at it
sinessmen clerks office men
ig those who are most often
f taking up parking space
t of the day. Living out
some distance they bring their cars
in early in the morning park them
until lunch time or the close or
business—and there they remain.
In Brownsville alone if the busi-
ness men would leave their cars at
home or park them off the business
streets a large amount of space would
be available to the shoppers.

The first half of June promises
to be a busy period for the Lower
Rio Grande Valley in the matter of
entertainment of guests.
Harlingen has the greatest prob-
lem ahead of it«when it will enter-
tain the State Firemen’s Association
convention which may bring any-
where from 6000 to 10000 visitors.
Harlingen snnounces that it is not
a Harlingen convention. It is a Val-
ley convention declares Mayor Fin-
ley Ewing and all towns are asked
to join in helping to entertain the
visitors. The business sessions will
of course be held in Harlingen.
It is not expected that Harlingen
would be able to entertain all the
members of so large a convention
so the residents of the other Valley
cities should prepare to receive visi-
tors in rooms which they may have
available if hotels cannot handle the
overflow.
r/ www
Harlingen is to have a real hotel.
A trip over the Reese-Wilmond be-
ing erected by J. J. Burke will soon
convince anyone that a man who
knows something about hotel service
as well ns hotel construction is the
driving force behind the project.
J. J. Burke late of Decatur. Ala.
and Chattanooga Tenn. is that driv-
ing force.
Burke financed the job himself.
He will be the owner. Since he was
once in the hotel business it is sur-
mised he will also operate it. He is
superintending construction on his I
own job. If you don't believe it just j
go up and watch Burke in action.
He's all action.
Before locating in the Valley he j
sold automobiles. Up in North Ala-
bama he sold 7000 Fords in some- I
thing like five years. Then he came
to the Valley. Bought 30 acres and |
went into citrus growing. Found it j
didn't take all his time. The trees
could grow without his being on the
• spot to wstch them. So he set out |
for other fields. Saw a hotel op-
portunity and went to it.
Lots of energy in that slight frame
of Burke’s. He’s an elect.'ical engi-
neer by profession. Maybe that's
where the energy comes from.
• • •
He's a real asset to the commun- j
ity is Burke. Just the little fact
that he will give the Harlingen
Chamber of Commerce office space
I in a prominent place in his lobby at
barelv enough to nay for lights and
janitor service indicatea the type of
cltisen Burke is.

FRENCH DEBT
PACT IS JUST
SAYS MELLON
Secretary of Treasury
Defends Settlement
to House Ways and
Means Committee
(f!v Th« Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON D. May 20.—
The French debt settlement was de-
scribed today by Secretary Mellon to
the house ways and means committee
as “fair both to the American tax-
payer and to the French people.” It
represents France’s capacity to pay
Mr. Mellon said and he predicted
that when France has concluded debt
settlements with 'Fngland as well as
this country it will be able to slaoti-
ize its currency.
The appearance of the secretary of
the debt commission before the
committee today marked the first
step in the legislative consideration
of the French and Jugo-Slavian debt!
pacts which the administration
hopes to have approved by congress
at this session.
Mr. Mellon pointed out that the
settlement provides for total pay-
ment by France of $6847674102 over
a period of sixtv-two years on its
original loan from this country of
$3340000000. with payment starting
at $30000000 and graduating up to
$125.000 000 annually which will be
paid for the last 45 pears.
“To insist on too heavy payments
in the early years" the secretary de-
clared “might well jeopardize the ac-
complishment of those reforms es-
sential to France’s economic and fi-
nancial rehabilitation.
“France is at present not able to
set apart large sums to be trans-
ferred abroad as payments of her ex-
ternal debts. Despite great efforts
’she has not yet fully repaired the
losses in man power and pr. perty
caused by the war. Her domestic
debt has reached enormous propor-
tions her currency is inflated and »t

300 Houses Destroyed
In Effort to Get
Rebels is Report
( By The Associated Tress.)
LONDON May 20.—More than 600
civilians and about 100 rebels and
20 French have been killed in a
bombardment hj( the French forces
of the Midan quarter of the city of
Damascus says a dispatch to the
Daily Express. Three hundred houses
were destroyed.
While there has been no confirma-
tion of the dispatch which was dated
May 9 it has occasioned consider-
able surprise as it was thought that
the troubles in the city between the
French and the* Druse tribesmen had
calmed down under the civilian ad-
ministrations headed by M. Jouvcnel \
French high commissioner for Syria.
The latest bombardment is said to
have been announced May 11 as a
comparatively small aftair. involving
the deaths of about fifty Druse re-
bels.
The trouble began May 6 when the
Druse rebels attacked French mili-
tary posts killing or capturing 28
soldiers at Rob-Mousalla. The raid-!
ers took refuge in the Midan or
southern section of Damascus.
The French commander ordered a
bombardment of the quarter after
giving the inhabitants an hour to get
outside the range of his guns. Either
few people tok advantage of the op-
portunity or the time was insuffi-
cient shells bullets or falling houses
killing more than 600 persons includ-
ing women and children.
Before the bombardment S.OO'i
French troops surrounded the quarter
which had 80000 inhabitants. They
demanded that the inhabitants sur-
render the rebels.
The inhabitants said that they were
without arms and unable to comply
but invited the French to come in
and capture the rebels.
Because the rebels were barricaded
the French commander thought that
entry into the quarter would mean
serious sacrifice to his soldiers.
When the time wa;< up the French
opened upon Midan with twelve three
inch four howitzers and a dozen air-
planes. The bombardment lasted 15
hours.
(Icneral panic followed women and
children ran aimlessly through the
streets falling victims to bursting
shells or collapsing houses.
The male inhabitants of the quar-
ter joined the rebels in combatting
the French. During the bombard-
ment 110 rebels escaped through the
French lines into the open country
and were joined by several hundred
persons of the bombard section who
desired revenge against the French.

within the industry without inter-

PARIS. May 20/—The government
nnounccd through Finance Minister
Peret at the conclusion of a cabinet
council today that it had decided to
use ever resource to support the
franc w^hich has been steadily de-
clining.
The cabinet examined all aspects
of the exchange situation in the two
hours and a hilf of its sitting. M.
Peret said. The necessity for acting
firmly and energetically wa3 recog-
nized and it was unanimously decided
that there should be no hesitation in
employing all the resources of the
public credit to defend the franc.
The cabinet agreed fliat the pres-
ent decline of the franc was not
justified by the internal situation. It
was necessary above all to take
technical measures among which M.
Peret mentioned the creation of a
clearing house for exchange trans-
I actions to cooperate with brokers.
In other words France has decided
to taka the offensive as the most ef-
fective defense against further col-
lapse of the franc.
It is aasserted in reliable financial
I centers though not officially cor-
| roberated that the ministers discus-
sed advisability of throwing the
remaining $39000.000 of the Morgan
loan of Mdrch 1924. into the breach.
