SAYS MEXICO HOLDS OPEN
DOOR TO ALL NATIONALS
OF WHOLESOME IDEAS

Touching on the petroleum ques-
tion, President Carranza asserted
that the initiative he presented to
congress last November, which was
in effect an amendment to Article
27 of the constitution, probably will
be considered by that body soon. He
was emphatic in the declaration that
the public press of theUnited States
is being grossly influenced by the
petroleum interests, who, he said,
are distorting the facts. The presi-
dent continued:
Kicking Up Trouble
The petroleum companies have
set out to engender 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"
Mexico is not opposed to the pc
troleum companies or to any other
foreign investors. We merely require
that If such companies are to operate
in the republic they abide by our
laws. What the new oil law will be
l cannot say, for 1 have expressed
my beliefs and ideas in my initiative
of last November. The passing of q
neW oll Id" Is now III tne nanQS OF
Congress.
President Carranza refused to VEN
ture a prediction as to probable
action on his initiative by the Mex
lean Congress. The attitude of the
petroleum commission which will be
n determining factor in the settle
ment of present difficulties, he also
declared problematical. The special
commission apDOinted hy tho Max
ican Senate to investigate conditions
in the Tampico region has complot-
ed its work, he said, and will give
its information to congress. This re-
port is private and is for informa-
tive purposes for congress only.
In conclusion, President Carranza
gave renewed assurances of his per-
sonal wishes and those of the gov
ernment that cordial relations be.
tween Mexico and the United States
be maintained.

Mexico City, Aug. 2.-Mexico will
hold open the door to nationals OF
all countries who can show that they
possess wholesome ideas of citizen
ship and will not prove a disturbing
element in the nation, President Ven-
ustiano Carranza told the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press in
an interview during which the chief
executive commented at length OH
various phases of Mexico's problems
The Presidents statement of the
governments attitude toward immi-
grafton was in response to an in
quiry concerning declarations in the
press of Mexico City that large num-
bers of colonists were leaving their
European or Asiatic homes of dis
rupted conditions due to the world
war.
Would Aid Colonists
President CarranZa gave assur-
ances that Mexico would place no
barriers against proper immigration
and, in fact, would extend all pos
sible aid to such prospective colo
nists. That such material aid is il,
contemplation Is evidenced by the
fact that the President recently ap-
pointed a commission to investigate
all phases of the colonization prob
lem. Senior Luis Ludert Y Rul
president of the commission. has an
nounced 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.
q IL IL
the Mexican government had any
policy concerning Latin-America
which might be construed as indi-
eating that the solidarity of such
countries was more to be desired by
Mexico than alliances with any for
eign nation. He replied that to date
the Mexican government was consid-
ering no such project of union, and
until such a proposition presented
itself he refused to define a possible
governmental policy. ...
