Professor Schmidt then offered
this suggestion: Put dropping

This will leave the entire floor-spacc

Mexican OH Companies
 Appeal To US. Senate

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Island Oil and Transport Corporation, the Texas Co.,, the Panuco-Boston oil Co.,, the New England Fuel Oil Co.,, the Mexican Sinclair Corporation, the Mexican Gulf Oil Co.,, and other American concerns interested in the production of petroleum in Mexico have sent to Senator sherman a pe- tttion asking for he protection of the United States Government in the op- eraton of their properties in Mexico.
 The petition was presented in the Senate yesterday and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. The petition says that within the last 30 days the Mexican Government, em- ploying it's armed soldiers, has stop ped Amertcan-owned companies from drilling oil wells in Mexico and has locked up their tools under govern ment seal. The companies are thus deprived of the use and enjoyment of their own properties. And the pe- tition asserts there exists no justi- flcation for these high-handed acts. All of the facts have been communt- cated to the State Department. The statement of the companies shows in detail the physical acts of confsca- ton that have occurred and the pc tition says the companies, being in no position to meet force with force, are at the end of their row.
 ''The avowed purpose of the Mexi- can Government the statement con tinues, 'is to nationalize petroleum and this is the latest move to that end
 ''NationaIization means confsca- ton in this instance. There is no pretense of compensation, Just or otherwise, and there is also lacking the element of national necessity
 The companies recognize, their statement says, the propriety in or dinary circumstances of the Mexican Government requiring them to ob- tain drilling permits but that prac- tise is warranted only as a police regulation. Here the purpose was ulterior. The permits were issued, but with them was coupled an inn possible condition. The fact of is suance shows that all police require ments had been met, and the condi- tion stands out as conclusive proof of the ulterior purpose. It meant that if the petroleum law, when enacted, should follow the decrees, the companies would have surrender ed their title to the Government.
 True, the statement goes on, the petroleum law might give the com panies a preference right to prospect for and produce oil in their confs- cated properties, but in order to do this according to the pending bill, they would have to pay royalties to the Government and take a mere mining license, subject to the will and future regulations of the Gov ernment. That is all they would get

failure in the twenty-one months that began in 1918.
 The farm loan banks, which also were founded and fostered by the Democratic party, have proved the sagacity of Dem financial ad- ministration. These banks have lifted the burden of farm financing so thar the farmer can now enter industry on a decent business footing. In a re- cent report of the Farm Loan Board the popularity of these banks is shown on the net earnings for the six m month period ending November l. These earnings were s858,O33, a gain of more than $25O,OOO over previous half-year earnings, and an increase of approximately $650,0O0 over the profits of these banks for the same period a year ago. Since November l, 1919, these banks have refunded S572, ,569 to the Government, reducing the Governments holding of stock to $7.632,240.
