Mexico Ceases as Result
of ,Carranza DEGREES
By associated Press

Washington, Dec. 0.-Production
of oil in Mexico practically has
ceased as the result of DEGREES pro-
mulgated by President Carranza
and the general attitude of the
Mexican government toward for
eign oil companies, Chairman
Payne, of the Shipping Board, was
told to-day by delegation of
American oil men, headed by f. r.
Kellogg. of New York.
Drilling of new wells in the Tam
pico district, from which comes
much of the worlds oil supply has
been prohibited by the Mexican
government, the oil men said, and
there have been difficulties with
transportation to seaports for ship
ment and other handicaps.
Shipping board officials conceded
that situation as outlined by the
oil men would have serious effects
for the American merchant marine
as the boards suoply comes largely
from the Mexican fields. The board
now is operating some 500 oil
burning ships and the stores now
on hand will not last more than
two months.
