DOOR OPENED TO

SAYS CARRANzA
immigration Will Not be
Barred, Says Mexican-Ac-
cuses Petroleum Interests.
(BY Associated PreSSl

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1.-Mexico will
hold open the door to nationals of
all countries who can show that they
possess wholesome ideas Of citizenship
and will not prove a disturbing ele-
ment in the nation, President Venua-
tiano Carranza told the correspondent
of the Associated Press today in an
interview during which the chief exc
cutive commented at length on vari-
GUS phases of Mexicos problems
The presidents statement of the
governments attitude toward immi-
grafton was in response to an inquiry
concerning declarations in the press
OF Mexico City that large numbers Of
colonists were leaving their European
or Asiatic homes because of disrupted
conditions due to the world war.
President CarranZa gave assurances
that Mexico would place no barriers
against proper immigration and in fact
would extend all possible aid to such
prospective colonists. That such ma
terial aid is in contemplation is evil
denced by the fact that the president
recently appointed a commission to
investigate all phases of the colonial
ton problems. Senor Luis Lubert Y.
announced that communications have
been received from England, France,
Canada, Germany and Russia in re-
gard to the feasibility of colonies in
the republic and in each instance the
answer has been that Mexico well
comes all dependable colonists.
No Union Considered
Senor CarranZa was asked whether
Icy concerning Latin America which
might be construed as indicating that
the solidarity of such countries was
more to be desired by Mexico than al
liances with any foreign nation. He
replied that to date the Mexican
government was considering no such
project of union and until such a pro-
position presents itself he refused to
define a possible governmental policy.
Touching on the petroleum question
| President CarranZa asserted that the
initiative he presented to Congress
last November which was in effect
! an amendment to article 81 of the con-
stitution, probably will be considered
| by that body soon. He was emphatic
in the declaration that the public press
Of the United States is being grossly
Influenced by the petroleum interests
who he said. are distorting the facts.
The president continued:
| The petroleum companies have set
out to engender ill-feeling between
Mexico and the United States. They
are doing this through the medium
| of some sections of the American
press which are distorting facts to
suit their own ends.
Friendly to Investors
Mexico is not opposed to the petro
leum companies or to any other for
eign investors. We merely require
that if such companies are to operate

TR0TzKY TO REMAIN
(By Associated Press)


STOCKHOLM, Aug 1.-The Eve
ming Dagbladt is informed by persons
closely connected with the Russian
Soviet government that Nikolai Le-
nine, the premier, intends to begin
drastic change Of policy and then re-
tire. One condition of his retirement
will be that Leon Trotzky, the minis
ter of war, be left in command of the
red army.
At recently held meetings of the
Soviet commissaries, the newspaper
informants say the question Of giving
power in to the hands Of other social
istic parties was earnestly discussed
but Lepine declared that the best way
to check reaction as represented by
Admiral Kolchak, head of the All-Rus-
sian government at Omsk would be
to drop power for a time in order to
prove that no other party was able to
reorganize Russia. This, Lenine con-
tended, would strengthen the Bolshe-
wiki and enable them to resume power.
Lenines views were shared by George
Tchitcherin, the commissary for for
eign affairs, M. Stouchka, commissary
Of Justice and Professor Podrovski,
commisSary Of the Interior.

President Seitz, of Austria, said to-

that Hungarian soldiers were incitine
to disorder and that acquisitions OF
private houses in cities and villages
were going on near Vienna.

The Hungarian soldiers are obeyine
