Attorney General William LANCER
the charges of Attorney James Mana
han that the jury in the Hagen trial
was unduly influenced. The League
is kept busy making excuses for loss
es in court. Townley was convicted
under the espionage act in Minnesota
through an overriding of his consti-
tutional rights; Mckaig lost his po-
litical $4,000 damage suit against
Governor Gooding of Idaho because of
perjury; and Hagen was convicted Of
violating banking laws because of the
presence of Independent Voters in the
court room-which was under the con-
troll Of a hand-picked League judge.
1t is strange that every one of So men
on the three juries have agreed, when
SO many juries on minor cases find it
impossible to agree.

ME|xCANS IN
DEBATE ON OIL
Secretary of Treasury viii Voice
Views of Government
me Assoclated press.

By me Associated ETe9S.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2S.-Louis
Cabrera, secretary of the treasury 1t
was stated authoritatively today, will
voice the views Of the executive de-
partment of the government, during
the coming debate on petroleum legis-
lation in the Mexican congress. Sena-
tor Cabrera was quoted today as de-
claring that the authors of the oil law,
presented yesterday in a report to the
senate. were representatives OF all IN
terests. This law eliminates the retro
active features which have been the
chief points objected to as confiscatory
by foreign oil interests.
A statement was furnished the AS
ISOLATED Press tonight by Leon Falinas
acting secretary of industry N COM
merce, which department has charge
of petroleum matters, declaring that
judging from press dispatches recent
statements by his department OF the
governments stand, In regard to the
legal aspect of Article 81 of the Con-
stitution, and President Carranza's
proposals of last November, have been
misinterpreted by the Oil Producers
Association.
I have never said that the pro-
jected law would be retroactive in
effect" he said, "but I have said, and
still maintain, hat I understand the
meaning of the word 'retroactivity'
to be very different from the con-
struction placed upon 1t by the OH
Producers Association. The associa-
ton, under the meaning it gives this
word. claims that laws are innutable
and that we have no right to change
them even If the changes are In the
general interest. Since I believe a
free people have the absolute right
to enact laws which give the great
est aid to its development. I cannot
agree with the oil association, which
only defends its own privileged situa-
ton, nor can I agree to its interpre-
of words"
