NUEVA YORK, agosto 22.--El IL
cenciado Luis Cabrera concedio hoy
una entrevista en- ella hizo decla-
raciones respecto Ia question petro-
lifera a su viaje por Sud America.
Con respecto al asunto del petroleo,
Cabrera expres6:
Mexico jamas ha pretendido poner
trabas al abastecimiento de petroleo
para los aliados, nj ha pretendido
tampoco perjudicar los intereses de
esos paises. Por el contrario, el pro-
p6sito del gobierno de Mexico no ha
sido otro que el de aumentar la pro-
ducci6n del petroleo Y ponerla al
alcance de todos los intereses baJo Ia
base de una perfecta igualdad, preci-
samente para que no haya quejas de
ningun lado nj motive alguno de pro-
tesla.
Mexico. Ell la actual!dad, esta abas-
teciendo a los aliados con mucha ma
yor cantidad de petr6leo del que esos
paises pueden transporter. Fl tone
laje de que disponen ahora los ALA
dos no basta sino para abastecerse de
un pequeno porcentaje de la enorme
production de petr6leo que Sc obt;ene
en- Mexico. Este solo dato baStara
para demostrar que Mexico no ha pre-
tendido jamas poner dificultades al
abastecimiento de los aliados, como Sc
ha creido por algunos con motive de
los decretos expedidos ultimamente.
Las medidas adoptadas por el go
bierno-continu6 el icenciado Cabre-
ra. estan de acuerdo con Ia nueva

a nacionalizar los recursos minera-
