CARRANzA WARNED
 ID CUT OIL RATES
us. A|ay Pllcs Embargo on
 Food to MelicO

M washington, June 26.-The state department has indicated to General Carranza that the action of the Mexcian government in imposing aM almost prohibitive tax on tho expor- tation of oil will operate as an unfair hardship on the allied governments and n . beneft to Germany.
 The statsment of this governments position h not m ultimatt1m and does not imply the United States purposes to take any drastic nneaursA
 It has been suggestsd to oflicials here that the United States place an embargo on all foodstuffs to Mexico at once in order to force Carransa to remove the. tax. In the event Car ranza does not show a disposition toward fairness. such action probably will be considered.
 While realizing that Mexico is in dire need sof money. the administra- tion feels Carranxa would never have singled out the oil field to make up the delicit if 1t had not besn for the activities of German agents. who have been extremely anxious to cut off the British Navys principal oil supply.
 Washington officials have sufficient evidence to establish the fact that
 
 influenced a number of Carranxa's s lieutenants to do everything In their power to assist the kaiser's govern ment in controlling the present Mex ican regime.
 For more than two years the Tam pico oil fields have been controlled by a local bandit leader. Palaez. Car ranza could never drive him out of . Y~ A. S czar who collects tribute from the oil operators under threat of destroy ing their properties. When the prod uct is shipped from the fields to Tux pam or Tampico for transportation from the country, the Carransa gov- ernment levies the national tax
 At present about 100. 1000 barrels arc being shipped daily. The new tax represents from 30 to 50 per cent. of the value of the oils at the wells.
 Secretary Lansing today denied published reports that the United States, in conjunction with the Allied Governments about $26O. 900 . month. iemptory demand that the ievy be can- celled. He said this Government has not changed it's policy of dealing dis rectly with Carranxa. He denied also a proposal to land marines on the coast was under consideration.
 The State Department looks upon Carranza's latest action as a hold-up scheme which will cost the Allied Governments bout $250,000 a month.
 In the event that the Government should be forced to tako action to set the oil out at some future date the Navy Department has complete plans of the section and Is prepared to take such steps as might have been in ex- istence for several months.
