SENT MEXICO
BY SECRETARY LANSING
Objections to Certain Articles of
New Constitution Transmitted
Through Charge d'Affaires Parker.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. January 26.-Secre-
tary of State Lansing has sent to Gen.
Carranza, through Charles B. Parker.
American charge d'affaifes here, COM
munication in regard to certain pro-
visions which it has been proposed to
include in the new Mexican. constitu-
ton. The communication directs at
tention to the article without judicial
recourse, and also the article providing
that civil commercial companies can
not OWN properties of a greater area
than is necessary to accomplish the pur-
pose for which they are formed. and
placing the power to determine what
area is necessary in the hands OF the
executive.
The Communication says that il the
latter provision were made retroactive
it might be confiscatory. as no pro-
vision is made for compensation.
Attention is called to the article pro-
viding that there be no exemption from
taxation. If this were given a retro
active effect, says Secretary Lansing's
communication. it would impair con-
tracts of many foreign corporations
now operating under agreements pro-
viding periods of exemption by the
federal or state governments.
Expulsion Article Too Drastic.
Regarding article 80. dealing with
the expulsion of obnoxious foreigners.
objection is made because the proposed
article permits the executive to expel
any one. without recourse to appeal.
whose presence is deemed inadvisable
by him. The letter states that this is
not in accord with the usual practice
Of nations that cause be clearly shown.
Mr.. Parker also has sent to Gen.
Carranza statement from Secretary
Lansing protesting against the pro-
posed article in the new constitution
which stipulates that special conces-
sions must be obtained by expioiters of
ou.-iands, and allows companies now
owning such lands one year in which
to secure new concessions in order to
protect the rights they already have
acquired. The statement says this
article apparently means virtual ma
tionalization of Mexican oil lands and
that it might prove confscatory of
foreign-owned property.
