PROBE ORDERED
IN LAND GRANT
Tract Developed by Americans 10 In
voived, Holdings Being conAseatsd
by Revolutiontsts-Japs Have
Long Sought Foothold.

Washington, April 1.-The Ameri-
can embassy at Mexico City has been
instructed by the state department to
make inquiries regarding the report
that the Mexican government has
granted agricultural concessions to
Japanese in Lower California and to
report the facts as quickly as possible.
No official information has reached
the department about concessions, and
surprise was o%ccasioned by the dis
patch from Mexico City quoting Gen
eral Aado Aguirre, undersecretary Of
development and agriculture, as saying
they had been granted.
Claimed by Americans.
The American government is inter
ested both because of the apparent
success of Japanese in obtaining a
long sought foothold in Lower Cali
fornia, and because the tract Of land
involved was developed and is claimed
by an American company whose rights
were declared forfeited by the Next
can government in 1917. {.
The department was unable to de-
termine as yet whether the land was
the same as that to be sold two weeks
ago by the California and Mexican
Land company to Japanese interests,
whether the concession had actually
been made or report Of 1t merely sent
out as a "feeler."
Mexican Envoy Asks Word.
Mexican Ambassador Bonillas has
no advices regarding reported negotia-
tons, but has asked Mexico City for
information. 1t is known here that
the Mexican view is that the transfer
Of the property to Japanese citizens
or companies is not in violation Of the
Monroe doctrine. The Mexicans point
to the increasing Japanese interest in
all South American and Central Amer
lean coats and particularly the recent
announced Brazilian concession to
Japan-as grounds for such action.
Ambassador Ishii declined to dis
cuss the reported deal. The japanese,
it is learned in diplomatic quarters,
hold that the Japanese transactions in
Latin America are purely commercial
and can be given no political signif.
canoe.
The state department declared to-
day it has heard nothing from the Cali.
fornia and Mexican Land company OF
Los Angeles, since it virtually warned
that company against selling Lower
California land to the Japanese two
weeks ago.
