MEX|CAN OIL OUTPUT IN
1918 BUT Il PER CEN i
OF POTENTIAL OUTP Ut.

Mexico City, Aug. CA complete
history of the Mexican petroleum ques-
tion, including legislation dating back
to the days of Spanish dominion and
continuing up to the constitution OF
1917, together with data concerning
the industry and figures showing prof
its made by oil companies in this coun-
try, has been furnished The Associated
Press by eLon Salinas, undersecre-
tary of commerce and labor, which
department has charge of matters per
tanning to petroleum.
Sections of laws enacted since 1893,
according to the statement, established
for the Mexican government the legal
right to exercise dominion over coal
and oil deposits and to enact mining
and commercial codes which shall be
binding throughout the republic. Arti-
Gle - of the constitution of 1917. the
statement says, defines i'm clear terms
the dominion of the nation over hy.
dro- o-carbons and outlines a system of
concessions for the exploitation and
development of petroleum territory"
Discussing various legal phases Of
the question and giving historical date
concerning the establishment of diff
ferent developments in the republic.
the statement gives production fig
ures which show that from 1901 to
1918 approximately 2S6.000.O00 barrels
of oil were produced in Mexico each
year. The production during 1918 was
approximately IL per cent of the po-
tential production of the country, the
statement says, adding that lack of
transportation has been the reason
that the Mexican oil industry has not
as yet equaled that of the United
States.
Referring to profits, the statement
cites one company which in 1918 re-
turned a net profit of more than q
500. 900 pounds sterling, being III per
cent of the invested capital, which does
not include the increase of value in
the lands controlled by the company.
In conclusion, the statement says:
This analysis Is for the purpose of
demonstrating that the oil business
is good one when ii is carried out
with the technical and financial means
required by the magnitude of the en-
terprise."

Unless immediate steps are taken,"I
senator owen said, ito accomplish
these results, | fear a serious business
reaction viii take place in the United
states by cutting off a large part of
our foreign market for our surplus
products, throwing these products back
ON the United States and causing a
very serious recession of prices due to-
reproduction. ! agree that prices
should come down, but the reduction
should be by the elimination OF excess
profits. artirically placed upon goods,
and they should not come down by
cutting down the wage paid to labor.
There is n natural increase in prices
in the United States due to the eX
panson of our currency by excess gold
imports and by the development of
federal reserve notes against commodi-
ties which have taken the place of
gold as Il basis of notes issue"
Senator owen in his letter declared
the New York banks have opposed
bills pending in congress which they
claimed would deprive them of the OPP
portunity to speculate in foreign ex-
change. and added:
Il am opposed to their speculation
to the injury of our industries and
commerce, and | allege that they have
made millions out of speculation in
foreign exchange, to the disadvantage
of American commerce and to the dis
advantage of the American producers
and the American consumers alike.

to request the secretaries of the treas

tons as to what shall be done to pro-
tect the foreign commerce of the Unit
ed States and stabilize international
exchange with view to submitting
