Mexico Reused
Over Fight TO
Take Oil Lands
Senate in Sharp Conflict in
Effort to Settle Plan Of
Naturalization; Cour,
Decision Is d e a " d

MEXICO CITY. Oct by The Asso-
ciated Presa) "A sharp conflict is be
ing waged in the Mexican Senate over
the naturalization Of oil lands as pro
vided in the d5cress of President Car
rama, which were intended to put into
effect Article 27 of the Mexican Con
sttutlon.
These decress have been the object
Of bitter attack by the foreign oil in
terests, which declare that the DEGREES,
as well as Article 81 of the Constitu-
pointed over the inactivity of the
Chamber Of Deputies, which has de-
layed action on the decentralization
question, the Senate brought up as a
new oil Initiative based on that of the
President, but differing from 1t in the
vital point that it should not be re
troactive. II adopted, this law would
not nationalze oil lands to which title
was perfected before the present con-
stltutlon became operative, which was
on May Il, 1917.
Debate on this measure. however
soon became complicated as a result
Of attempts to include in it complete
redrafting of the 9th Article. In the
Senate discussions. Luis Cabrera, Sec
retary OF the Treasury, and Leon Sal
lnas, Sub-Secretary OF Industry and
Commerce, have presented the govern
ment's side in support of nationaliza,
ton.
Secretary CABRERA also quoted il,
newspapers as asserting that the Sen
ate IS only wasting time III discussing
the oil question since the oil interests
would not be satisfied with the Senate s
decision.
The foreign oil companies have
brought suits in the Mexican courts tc
prevent the Presidential decress from
! taking effect, and these have been ap,
pealed to the Supreme Court. Secre.
tary Cabrera has opposed action of the
Supre me Court in these cases seemingly
to delay action until the executive de
partment Of the Mexican government
and representatives of the oil interests
can reach an understanding. What, il
any, progress has been made towarc
reaching such an agreement is un
known.

Work on Specifications.

Piles of the class specifications were
placed on tables in the room il3d 1or
the hearings. and each clerk SelZed a
cover sheet and started the rounds OF
the tables. picking up sheet after sheet,
from table after table, until the thick
pack of specifications for tny one
service was completed.
The chase from table to table proved
lively work. and windows were raised
to allow the participants plenty OF air
to breathe.
Everybody in the federal service has
heard of the Glass specifications by
this time. but there are probably few
who realize just what it means to get
them all together.
The rainy day proved a good work
ing day for the reclaSsification COM
missioners. who put in some good
lcks at their desks. The official jan
itor seized the opportunity 20 clean
the outside while he applied rag Wig
orously.
Staff workers put the finishing
touches on class specifications for the
Office appliance service and the Gus
todian and jantor service this after
noon. When finished. these specifica-
tions will be submitted to the COM
missioners for approval and setting of
hearing dates for these two services
AS there is plenty of time between
the three hearings already scheduled
1t is regarded as likely that the two
services just mentioned will be heard
by the commission shortly.
