OIL LAND BILL HELD UP
Mexican Faction Opposes Retro
active Clause In Naturalization

Mexico City. Sept. 25.-tBy A. P.)
The possibility that the Mexican Sen
ate would act quickly on oil legislation
became uncertain yesterday as result
of the session of the upper house of
Congress. Senator Juan Frias, one of
the authors of the bin being considered
by the Senate. began the discussion for
the measure, but Carlos Ietina offered Il
proposal for the amendment of Article
XNNlI Of the constitution, which ar
ticlc nationalzes oil lands The meas
ure backed by Scnor Frias and his fac
tion in the Senate makes Article NNNII
operative without being retroactive, thus
meeting the principal objection of for
eign interests.
The motion of Senor Zetina. it is
believed, will entail weeks of discus
sion. While the Senate has taken up
the oil question the Chamber of Dep
uties has thus far failed to touch upon
the oil proposals submitted by the cx-
cCutivc branch of the government last
November against provisions of which
foreign oil interests have made strcnu-
Gus objections.
