Asked for the opinion of the govern
ment of Mexico regarding the new Ma
atlonal Ass ssociation, for which E. H.
Doheny, president of the Mexican Pc
troleum Corporation, is understood to be
planning to make plea before the peace
conference, if permitted, Mr.. Nieto indi-
Gated that it was the association that
was hostile and not the Mexican gov
ernment. He also gave the impression
that be believed the National Associa-
tlon had been presenting their case un-
talrly, asserting that two representa-
tlves Of the American oil interests had
reached an agreement with the MeXi-
can government, which now, he said,
seemed likely to be ignored by the men
higher up.
Mr.. Nieto said that the Mexican man
on the street was coming to feel more
kindly toward the United States. and
that the Mexican government would
new welcome the inflow of foreign
capital if the "old-fashioned conces-
sions" were not demanded. He added
that much capital had been coming IN
IN recent months since the signing of
the.armistice, and expressed the belief
that Mexican mines, oil fields and agri-
culture offered rich opportunities for
development with the aid of foreign
money. He declared further that for
eigners had failed in the past to de-
velop. Mexican mines adequately, say
ing that they are worked on the same
basis practically as 100 years ago
Asked what the probable tariff policy
Of Mexico would be Mr.. Nieto answer.
ed: "That depends on the tariff deci-
sions of other countries"
In reply to a query as to the atti-
tude of the Caranzsta Administration
toward the league of nations idea, he
said: "We are not in that now. We
are neutrals." To this Dr. ALFRED
Caturgeli, financial agent of the Mexi
can government, in whose office a.

viewed. added that Mexico would prob
ably act with all other neutral nations
IN regard to the league of nations.
