To Moderate
The Oil Tax

fiscatory, American and
British Operators Say.

Washington. D. c., March S.-The
United States has asked the Mexican
government to delay enforcement of
and reconsider its decree OF February
%, last, imposing heavier taxes on
oil producers and cenceling oil leases
made since April 80, 1917. American
and British operators protested the
tax Is practically confiscatory.
As q large part of the oil supply
for the British naval forces comes
from Mexico, any interruption Of the
output would be a serious obstacle in
the conduct Of the war against the
central powers. Consequently both
the United States and Great Britain
regard the new decree as a subject
ularly in view Of the report that
Mexican officials are determined to
enforce II Immediately.
Ambassador Fletcher at Mexico City
is understood TO have included this
subject in the list Of pending ques
lions recurring adjustment before
there can be agreement between the
Governments for a freer EXCHANGE Of
foodstuffs and other commodities
which Mexico needs.
