INVESTORS IN MEXICO
Their Status Reviewed m Statement
Issued by Department


ASSOCIATED Press C~orrcspondence.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24:-The
status of American investment in
Mexico Is an object Of concern to the
United States. Future commercial
relations. not only with Mexico. but
with the whole of Latin America,
may be affected by the outcome of
the dispute over the possession of
land and mineral rights In the Tam
pico oil district. says q review of the
oil situation just issued by the De-
.partment of Commerce.
The government, as well as oil in
terests, is watching carefully the pro-
gress of suits instituted in the Mexi-
can courts by the American. British,
French and Dutch oil companies. for
relief from the program of the Car
provision of the Mexican constitution
of 1917 which attempts to vest in the
nation only the right to minerals and
oils under the soil OF the republic.
I'm its bearing on our future COM
mercial relations with Latin Ameri-
ca" declares the review, 1.-The status
of our Investments in Mexico involves
far-reaching possibilities. II all our
foreign investments were to be trans
ferred from the state of property.
duly acquired with guarantees of per-
manence (such as occur in the Mexi-
can mining laws Of 1884, 1892 and
1909) to the state of temporary con-
cessions. requiring renewal from time
to time by contracts, in the wording
of which we have no share, we should
face an unprecedented situation. Our
commercial relations. not oply with
Mexico but with all of Latin America
depends upon mutual confidence. The
liberal supplies which the United
States has granted to Mexico. fogeth-
err with Ambassador Fletcher's note
of April 2, constitute our side of the
present case. A signal factor, how
ever. will be the decision Of the Mex
lean courts upon the suits now IN

the smoking satisfactorily. 1t is also
suggested that in order to handle the
