Mexican Orchestra to Present Concert Thursday Afternoon
Typical American Jazz Music to Be on Varied Program of Foreigners
The Mexican Tipica Orchestra, which is to give a concert Thursday afternoon at Robinson gymnasium, was organized in 1924-25 and was chosen by Alvaro Ogregan, the official orchestra and was retained until President Callez did away with an orchestra as a part of his economy program.

The orchestra never heard jazz until shortly before their American tour. Their playing of typical American music was the result of a broken engagement by an American orchestra which was to play at a formal reception given by Ambassador Sheffield, the American diplomatic representative for the United States. The American orchestra failed to appear for the recount

Action on British Hands-Off Policy in China Postponed
Coolidge and Kellogg Fee That Data on Subject Is Insufficient for Reply
Washington, Jan. 4.—After several weeks delay in answering Great Britain's proposal for a new hands-off policy of the powers in China, because of military and political victories of the nationalist anti-foreign movement, the department decided today to postpone action on determination of policy.
