the worlds greatest war.
Although technical termination OF 'he

credited peace commissioners OF the
allied and associated powers and OF
Germany, aiiix their signatures to the
treaty. Likewise will be brought to

Extraordinary Session of Mexican Congress to
 Act on Oil Legislation
SENATOR SALINAS DECLARES THERE IS NO RECORD OF JAPANESE INTERESTS
 SECURING OIL LANDS.

Mexico City Wednesday, Aug. G. Oil legislation will be taken up about the middle of this month by the ex- traordinary session of the Mexican congress, which will base its consid- eratton of the subject on the message last November by President Car ranza, according to a statement made today to the Associated Press by Leon Salinas, acting head of the depart ment of industry and commerce and also chief of the oil bureau of that department Senior Salinas declared that in so far as his department was , concerned the question of new oil leg tslation was closed, saying that the department. Senor Salinas declared permits for oil interests to sink wells had turned the whole question over to congress for final disposition.
 Discussing the reports that Japan csc interests are securing oil lands on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico, Senor Salinas declared that his department had no official record of such transactions and that Japan ese oil men had made no inquiries at the department. He admitted how ever that it would be possible for them to secure holdings from private Individuals and that his department
  deals. Since most of the oil territory along the Atlantic coast Is held by American, British or other interests, Senor Salinas said it seemed hardly probable that any new corners could acquire important holdings by pur- chasing small tracts from MeXcans-
 Referring to circular number nine" giving permission for the sink ing of oil wells, which was issued under date of August first by the di- rection of President Carranza, the acting head of the department said:
 This circular Is intended to be a temporary solution of the fuel prob- lem. oil companies have complained that their supplies were running low and that they could not fill their contract because they were not per- mitted to drill wells as result of the compliance with the pro- visions of the decree of July 31, 1918. The Mexican government, for the purpose of showing its helpful dis position, gives permission for com panies to drill wells, providing they subject themselves to the law which will be enacted by the Mexican con- gress.

The government has always been disposed to listen to their appeals when such appeals did not attack legal principles which the gov ernment is under strict obligations to keep and to enforce upon others. The inmediate comm ercial problem of the companies having contracts for sup plying fuel oil is solved by this cir cular."
 Senor Salinas said that in addition to the message sent to Congress last November by the president there were special reports ready for considera- ton by the committees of congress which will deal with the subject There is, in addition c, special report from the Senate Committee which visited the petroleum fields Q few months ago. which combined with other data, was, he said. amply suf- ficfent for framing new legislation"
 Nothing is yet available regarding the attitude which oil companies will take with regard to "c1rcular number nine' which was given out to meet objections made by oil companies which declared that compliance with recent decrees would result in the loss of rights for which they have been fighting.

The decrees have provided for the pay ment of royalties on production and such payments would be, it is held, in substance a recognition of nation a1ization.
 Senor Salinas declared that during his recent visit in New York, Alberto Pani, present Mexican minister to France. was informed by an official of an oil company that the oil com uanies had not a cent for Mex leo but millions to oppose Mexico Senor Salinas said the Mexican gov ernment had full knowledge concern ing oil companies which were "lead- ing campaign against the Mexican government but that "despite this fact the Mexican government Is not using this knowledge to hamper tha companies operations, although thls could be easily done"
 He drew @ comparison between Mexican oil legislation and the al- 1eged "confiscatfon of property Tn connection with prohibition legislation in the United States, affecting foreign Investments there.
