ny GEN. CANDIDA AGUILAR,
Special Ambassador from Mexico TO the
United States and France
Specially Written for the Ldtin Amert-
CON Section Of THE SUN.
I am shout to sail for France on a
special diplomatic mission after having
discussed with acting Secretary OF State
Polt the settlement Of the controversy
arising from the ownership In Mexico OF
oil fields by American citizens. The prin-
cipal object OF nlx mission is the preser-
walton Of friendly relations with this
coup<ry.
This Mexican Government never had a
desire to conhscate the property OF
American mine owners The same taxes
apply to American owners as to Next
cans. The legal rights OF the private
owner will be protected. The Govern
ment of Mexico cannot, however. over
look the people Of our country. who must
have the benefit Of Mexico's great nat
ural resources.
The Congress Of Mexico will consider
all disputes and claims by American in
vestors and give careful consideration
where the laws conflict with foreign in
terests Foreigners shall have the same
rights as granted to Mexicans The
State Department and the Mexican For
eisn Office are in a position to give out
any information desired by litigants.
1t is up TO the financial interests to
promote a better moral and spiritual
feeling Of Justice. Why cloud the favor
able prospects Tor profitable investments
with politics? Mexico offers, at this
time, a splendid field for development.
No privileges are necessary for the
American investor. The Carranza Gov
eminent wishes for everything that is
fair and Just.
Mexico wants investors and not poll
ticians. We have plenty Of the latter
and many undes rable ones. The Next
can Government and the Mexican people
have nothing but friendship for the
United States President Venustfsno
Carranza is a friend Of America He is
i a firm believer in American progressive
ness and his children were educated In
American colleges. Our Ambassador at
Washington, DR.. 1snacio Bonillas. re-
ceived his education at the Boston In
: stituts Of Technology and Is married to
> an American lady. Mexico has not only
illiterate bandits and revolut'onis but
also educated and good people. the same
as any other country.
It was my privilege during my short
soJourn in the United States to meet a
number of Americans who have interests
in Mexico I heartily appreciate the
cordiality with which I have been re-
ceived in this country and found abun-
dant good will for Mexico among the
American people. A frank exchange OF
ideas VIII facilitate my efforts and rem
edy the lack Of understanding the pre-
vailing condition in Mexico.
The Mexican Government expects to
handle the border troubles to the salts
faction OF the American people. The
troops along the border line are in
charge OF an able and honest soldier
Gen. Manuel DiegueZ.
Do. not magnify and give credence to
every tale OF violence that purports TO
come out of Mexico. Rumors when
printed in American newspapers are
often capitalized for political purposes
The object OF the organization of the
Mexican Society. in which I was instru-
mental. Is to further closer and better
relations and understanding between
Mexico and the United States.
