CABRERA BACK FROM A ;

EormeN Mexican Minister of Finance
Insists shat Mexico Is Strictly
Neutral.

mile tour of South America whittier
he went last December to attend a
conference OF. Latin-Amtrican neu-
trail nations at Buenos Aires. declar-
ed here that his trip would. in an
indirect way, contribute to a better
understanding and more cordial re-
lationship between Mexico and the
United States"
Mr.. Cabrera expressed the belief
that the recent naturalization of the
oil and mineral lands of Mexico
would not interfere with production
and that the allied fleets would still
be abe to obtain all the fuel they re-
quire at Tampico and Tuxpam At
the present time, he said, the allied
countries did not have ship bottoms
enough to carry Mexico's entire out
put OF oil and under the new plan
the production would be greatly in
creased
Mexico were denounced by Mr.. Ca
brera who insisted a strict neutrality
was being maintained. In proof of
his friendship for the United StaSe-
he intimated that his attitude toward
the 0fr was such in South America
that. in certain quarters. he was the
victim OF hostile criticism and even
insult. Although the Buenos Aires
conference was never held. the Mex
lean envoy declared his visit to Ar
gentina. Brazil, Chile, Peru, Bolivia
and other countries convinced him
that the United States governments
entrance into the war and her pur-
poses were regarded there as unset
fish and praiseworthy
Mr.. Cabrera said he regretted the
conditions that contributed to mis-
understandings between the Mexican
and American people. He laid them
largely to foreign intrigue and said
there was no warrant for any but
the most cordial feeling on both
sides. The Zimmerman note. he de-
nounced as "a most stupid piece OF
diplomacy" which created amuse-
ment rather than rancor in Mexico.
So fas as taking over Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and California were
concerned he said the very idea was
absurd" that no Mexican desires
such white elephant"
Mr.. Cabrera expects 70 return to
Washington for a short visit TO paw
his respects to the Mexican ambas-
sador before returning to Mexico
city.
