TO QUIZ MEXICO
(ron<;nuad frono Dana Ona\

When Diaz was deposed the American
settlers were driven from the land by
revolutionists. Livestock was stolen
n several settlers were killed. For
two years the land was uncared tor and
then the company found that Japanese
settlers were willing to take up farms
and cultivate Them. The Japanese were
protected by the Mexicans. whichever
party of revolu.ionists was in power
in that section. short time leases are
said to have been granted to Japanese
farmers. but the American owners re-
fused to sell any OF the land to the Jap
anese or to grant long term leases.
On April II. 1917. the Mexican govern
ment declared the tract c~onfiscated. ac-
cordjng TO the statements of Genera
Aguirre and then. apparently. the Mex
lean government opened negotiations
with a japanese syndicate.
Acting Secretary of State Phillips said
today that the Los Angeles company
proposed about two lears ago to grant
a Japanese corporation long term leases
on a large portion if not all of the tract.
At that time the company still was I'M
able to maintain American settlers
there, but when the state department
objected to the proposed leases. the
company dropped it's negotiations with
the Japanese. When Senator Phelan OF
California recently informed the de-
partment that negotiations had been
renewed, the company's attention was
directed to the American governments
attitude

Land Owners Adhere to
Declaration Made in 1917

Los Angeles, Cal. March S1.-The
owners of the California Mexico
Land and Cattle Company's proper
ty in lower California, still adhere to
| a declaration made to the State De-
partment in 1917. that they will not
under any circumstances make any
lease of any kind to Japanese where
colonization is probable. until we are
first authoritatively informed that
such an arrangement would be en-
tirely agreeable to the government Of
our W country"
This was announced here today ~
Harry Chandler, president Of the
company. Mr.. Chandler, who is al
so principal owner of the Los An
geles Times, issued a statement set
ting forth the position of the COM
pany.
He asserted that there was an cr-
ror in the statement made by Gen.
Amado Aguirrc, Mexican undcr-sec-
! rotary of development and agricul-
ture, as reported in the Associated
Press dispatches dated March 90, to
the effect that the California Mexico
Land and Cattle Company's titles
came through a concession from Re
former Mexican government.
NE: her the California Mexico
Land and Cattle Company nor it's
g%rantors," said Mr.. Chambers state
ment. "ever asked for or received any
concessions for any portion of the
lands now held by our company frC.n
the government of Mexico.
1.-The lands u company owns and
controls were acquired by rect pur-
chase, and at the full price asked,
from the Mexican government and
no Ions of any kind were ever
asked for or received in connection
with the purchase of our landed prop
erty. After our company took an
option on the land and before the
purchase was finally consummated, a
most exhaustive research of the rec
ords Of the title, as shown by the
public records, was made by trained
title searchers and the condition of
our title, after this investigation, was
shown as above stated. to wit:
what we believe to be the most per-
feet title in Mexico.
1.-The reference by the Mexican Of
ficials to support concession ; made in
connection with the sale Of these
lands, must refer to the lands adj
joining ours. which were secured by
an American syndicate headed by 7.
=. Morgan at about the time our
lands were purchased from the Mex
lean government. Their titles were
secured by a concession which pro-
vides for special colonization efforts
on the part of the purchasing synd.-
