BIG TRACT
IN MEXICO.
CEDED TO.
JAPANESE.
Denial Of Possibility of Inter.
national Conflict Coupled
With Announcement of
Concessions.

Mexico City, March 30.-Thc Jap
anese corporations have been grant
ed concessions to exploit agricul-
tural lands in lower California was
the statement made today by Gen
eral Amado Aguirre, under secre-
tary of development and agriculture.
The affirmation was made, how
ever, that the concessions were fully
authorized by the provisions of the
Mexican constitution regarding the
area and position of the territory in
relation to the ocean shore and the
frontier line.
There was nothing in the con-
cessions, it was asserted by the un-
der secretary, that might possibly
lead to difficulties as far as the
Monroe doctrine was concerned.
Does Not Fear Conflict.
Reports that there is a possibility
of international controversy over
the granting Of the concessions to
the Japanese we're said to be absurd
By Gen. Amado Aguirre in an inter-
view earlier in the day, in which
he said the action was legal At
that time he would not admit the
concession had been granted. The
Japanese legation here denied it had
any official knowledge of the action.
In the interview, General Aquirre
is quoted as follows:
a. ,ke,,rI rradtf
or take seriously, the news published
today that there is imminent an
international conflict BECAUSE of the
fact that Japanese subjects or COM
panies are arranging to- acquire
lands in Lower California, said to
belong to the California and Mexi-
can Land company of Los Angeles.
"In the first place, the lands,
which were given by a concession
in 1884 to the Mexican Land COM
pany, were declared the property OF
the pre-constitutional government
on April 7. 1917, which action rem
ders void the concession granted to
the Mexican Land compiny. Since
then, the government has appointed
commission to divide these lands
and sell them to Mexicans in small
lots.
Safeguarded by Constitution.
Moreover, even though Japanese
companies do propose to acquire as
is alleged, huge tracts of land in
Lower California, they cannot be
aided by our government, since the
Mexican constitution, in article
XAVII, expressly states that no
foreigner can acquire land in a zone
100 kilometers wide from a foreign
frontier nor in a belt so kilometers
wide along the shores of the Pacific
ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Even
though the Japenese subjects secure
Mexican citizenship, they could not
acquire 100000 acres of land, as it
is declared they seek to buy This
equals nearly 100000 hectares, which
is far above the legal limit placed on
the purchase of land, which restricts
all persons and companies to
maximum of $500 hectares"

WILSON TO MAKE
END TO DELAYS IN
DRAFTING PACT
Persistent Efforts to Speed
Up Peace Conference Work
Beginning to Produce
Results at Paris.

Paris, March 30.-The chamber of
deputies remained in session far in
to the early morning hours today
discussing the governments policy
in Russia. Stephen Pichon, minister
Of foreign affairs. and Deputy Leon
Abrami remained in debate until
after midnight.
Minister Pichon in the course of
his speech declared that he would
submit the conditions of the pre-
liminary peace treaty with Germany
to the chamber in a few days.
The Irtransigeant prints the re-
port that the indemnity which Ger
many must pay for the damages of
the war has been fixed at figure
between 150,000,000,000 and $780,
000.O00,000. The yearly payments
will increase as Germany's economic
life revives. -
Speeding Up Work.
i Persistent efforts of American dele
gates, but seconded for the most part
by the British and Italians, to speed
up the work of the various councils
and commissions preparing the de-
tails of the peace treaty, resulted in
better progress during the closing
days of the past week.
That most important results will
be attained during the present week
is predicted by those who are in
position to speak, including the dis
position of the Monroe doctrine and
reparations, the two subjects which
have been main obstacles to the
completion of the treaty.
1t is learned that there has re-
Gently been revival of certain
propositions and arguments, which
has tried the patience of some of the
participants in the deliberations. But
apparently new ideas have been ex-
hausted and there are signs of the
rapid approach of the end of the
discussions. Therefore, it is expected
that President Wilson, whom some
of the French newspapers, as we'll
as some influential British papers,
have held responsible i'll measure
for the delays, is about to exercise
the power which goes with the re-
sponsibility to make an end to the
delays.
Reparations Stubbornly Contested.
The most stubbornly contested
subject was that of reparations and
it is suggested that the delay in
this case cannot be charged up to
the Americans, but rather to the pre-
election promises of Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau to
make the German pay the whole
cost of the war which have led to
some embarrassment because of the
patent inability of the enemy to pay
more than fraction of the enor-
nous indemnity that will be required
for that purpose.
However, real progress has been
made in bringing about an agree
nent on the total amount of in
demnity and the terms of payment
on basis OF painstaking studies OF
the exact states of German indus
tries and resources at the present
time and prospects for the future
made by the financial commissions
of the conference. The American
representatives on these commits
sions have convinced their foreign
colleagues of the danger of forcing
Germany to sign under duress con-
ditions they honestly believe be-
yond the ability of Germany to meet.
