The resolutions adopted pointed out
among other things that the entire petro-

oil district Of Mexico Is now at stand
still that shipments from Tampico have
ceased that great oil zones now are IN
the hands OF either fighting forces or are
guarded only by unskilled native EN-
ployees: that great quantities OF petro-
leum are going to waste through constant
overflow. and that Mexicans by thousands
are out OF work and thousands OF dollars
OF revenue daily are lost 10 the Mexican
Government.
Finally. the resolutions declare that "a
genuine world catastrophe is threatened
II things are allowed 20 continue as they
are, with grave dangers of enormous
confiagrations and possibilities of des,ruc-
ton not only OF wells but OF human life"
