AMERICAN OIL
 MEN REPLY TO
 MEXICAN HEAD
State Department Gets Let ter From Association Of
 Oil Producers.

Washington, Aug 2S. - Reply to recent statements by members of President Carranza's official family in Mexico City to the effect that the Mexican government had a right to enact laws that would result in the conf1scatiOn of property owned by foreigners, and that retroactive laws were tustifiable in international law, was made by the American Associa- tion of Producers of Petroleum in Mexico in a letter presented today to the State Department.
 Cabrera, Schilino, and the others p the letter declares. now plant them selves on the theory that property rights such as the oil companies have acquired are subordinate to the well fare of the Mexican republic and can therefore be wiped out.
 They started out by citing Amer ican law, but it was shown that American law is precisely the reverse of their contention, and now they cite the French authority, Francois Laurent. He is quoted as follows:
 Laws may have retroactive effect when public interests are at stake. The actual statement by Laurent (Droit Civil, Vol. l, Chap. ", Sec. SD. was:
 "'It is commonly argued that laws have retroactive effect when general interest so demands, because no right may be acquired against public inter- est. According to our view, this is too absolute. If private parties may invoke against the application of a retroactive law, only their interest impaired by that retroactive effect the impaired interest should cede be- fore general interest. But when private parties have a right impaired d by the law, the court may not in the name of general interest destroy or modify the rights of citizens. The maintenance of rights is the greatest of all interests
 ''Sc again it transpires that the au- thorfty relied on is squarely opposed to their theory.
 Their argument that to seize the oil lands from their rightful owners and turn them over to the Mexican government to develop would re- dound to the public benefit is answered by the record made in the management of railways, express companies, G1l other industries So seized
 All arguments have been carefully weighed by the State Department and the decision of this government was stated in the note of April 2 1918, which protested against the spe- cific article of the Mexican constitu- ton (Article 27) as confiscatory. The same conclusion was reached by the governments of France, England and Holland. It is stated by officials that Mexico will not be allowed tC confscate the oil properties.

STOECKEL IS
 TO GIVE TABLE
 OF SUSPENSION

Hartford. Aug. 29-Commi ission of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Sto- eckel in his forthcoming annual re- port. will give a table of suspensions for the year ended September 30, 1919. During the previous fiscal year S51 licenses were suspended be- cause of the operation of motor ve- hicles while the driver was drunk. Of this Der, fifty of the licenses have been returned. There were 3O2 cases of reckless driving where li- censes were suspended, and out Of this number III had their licenses returned. Officials of the depart ment say that it was not altogether licuo~, however. that caused the reckless driving.
