CANNOT ACCEPT
THE ONE-TRIP
PASSP OR 7 s

The one-trip border permits, thous-
ands of which have been issued in the
past few months TO tourists and sight
seerss visiting the various border
points, will no longer be accepted by
the Mexican immigration authorities.
Orders to this effect were received by
the Mexican immigration men at Mat
amoros the first of the week, their
orders defining that nothing but the
regular border permits, bearing the
photograph of the holder and proper
ly visaed by the Mexican consul can
be accepted. The American immigra-
tion officials are still empowered to
issue the one trip permits. but they
are useless to the holder.
Mexican authorities at Laredo have
stated that the withdrawal Of these
permits was due TO the fact that sew
eral Americans had caused disturb
ances at border towns and they had
no means of identifying them. hence
the Mexican authorities are obliged
to demand the regulation border per-
mits or passports containing the pho
tograph of the holder. Mexican Off
cials here are making an effort to
have the order rescinded. ~

OIL PROBLEMS
OF MEXICO TO
COME UP SOON
tBy The Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Ang. 6.-Oil legis
lation will be taken up by the middle
of August by the extraordinary ses-
sion of the Mexican congress. accord
ing to report made today to the
Associated Press by Leon Salinas, act
ing head of the Mexican department
of industry and commerce. Salinas
declared that so far as his department
is concerned the question Of new oil
legislation is closed, stating that his
department in issuing provisional per-
mits for oil companies to sink wells
turned the entire question over to the
Mexican congress for final dispos:-
ton.
Discussing the report that Japan
ese interests are securing oil lands
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of
Mexico. Senior Salinas declared that
his department had no official record
of such transaction and that Japan
ese oil men had made Inquiries at the
department. He admitted, however.
thta it would be possible for them to
obtain holdings from private individ
uals and that his department would
not be advised as to these deals since
most Of the oil territory along the
Atlantic coast as held by American,
British or other interests. Senior
Salinas said it seemed hardly prob
able that any new comers could nc
quire important holdings by purchas
ing small tracts from Mexicans. He
said that in addition to the message
sent to congress last November g.
the president there were special re
ports for consideration by the com
mittee of congress which will deal
with the subject. There is in addi-
tion special report from the senate
commission which visited the petrol
cum wells few months ago, which
combined with other data was, he
said. amply sufficient for framing
new legislation Nothing il available
regarding the attitude which oil com
paines will take with regard to Circu
lar Number which was given out TO
meet the objection made by oil com
panies which declared that compli
ance with recent DEGREES would resul
in the loss of rights for which they
have been fighting.
II is understood they have contend
ed that IL they accepted the condi
tions contained in the decree prior to
the issuance of Circular Number 3
they would in effect accept the ma
tionalization Of their property. The
DEGREES have provided for the pay
ment Of royalties on production and
such payments would be, il il held,
in substance a recognition Of nation
alization.
Senior Salinas declared that during
his recent visit in New York Alberto
PAM, present Mexican minister to
France, was informed by an officia
Of an oil company that the oil com
panies had not a cent for Mexico but
millions to oppose Mexico. Senior
Salinas said the Mexican Government
had full knowledge concerning oil
companies which were leading cam
paign against the Mexican Govern
ment but that despite this fact the
Mexican Government is not using this
knowledge to hamper the companies
operations. although this could be
easily done.
