Navy REFUSES
STEEL PRICES
Will Continue Policy OF Competitive
Bidding without Regard TO
Board Figures.

Washington, April 4.-Steel for
the navy will continue to be bought
on competitive bids. regardless of
prices agreed upon by the indus
trial board with the industry, and
whatever may be the outcome of
the conferences now going on to de-
termine the future policies OF the
board.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt said
today this decision had been reacn-
ed after the legal officers of the de-
partment had ruled that the depart
ment was required by law to secure
this material by public ADVERTISE
ment of contracts.
The original program of the indus
trial board for price agreements al
ready has been upset by the refusal
of the railroad administration to
buy steel or coal at agreed prices
Now the whole question of the
boards policy is open, awaiting the
outcome of further conferences be
tween the membership of the board
and heads of the government de-
partments and purchasing agencies
Most of the cabinet officers are
said to take the position that no
action of the board can be binding
in the matter of purchases and
that prices fixed by agreement can
be regarded only as setting a fair
standard of reasonable prices.

SEE CHANGE IN
MEXICAN VIEWS
Sentiment Regarding Foreign In.
yestment Suddenly Grows
Favorable.

Washington. April 4.-.Private and
official advices from Mexico City
within the last few days were in
terpreted as clearly indicating
sudden change in sentiment in the
republic toward foreign invest
Dents in Mexico and that the com
ing session of congress will clear
tle atmosphere of much of the hos
t.ilty shown since the adoption of
the 1917 constitution.
The American oil interests in
Mex-2o. it was learned, have not re-
ceded from the stand originally tax
en-, that their vested rights in Mex
ico must be recognized and the anti
American and confiscatory features
'ef the new constitution must not
operate. ex-post facto against them.
Nor have they shown any inclina-
ton to waive the rights in prop
crty, which were purchased under
the existing laws of Mexico. but
which were jeopardized by the new
constitution. The American, Brit
ish and French governments have
protested to the Mexican govern
u.ent to the operation of certain
parts of the constitution, which
were termed "confiscatory."
From recent advices, il appears
that the new attitude of the Mexi-
can people, at least in official cir
cles. is to recognize the rights of
al people. including foreigners, to
ii cir vested rights under interna-
tional law.
The recent visit of Rafael Nieto.

Mexican government, to New York.
where he consulted with interna-
ticnal bankers regarding the pros
Pect of a loan to Mexico and the
cIrrespondence which has taken
place between former Minister of
