NO SALE OF
LAND SAYS
SECRETARY
Mexican Official Refutes Story Of
Reported Land Holdings by
Jap Interests in Lower
California.

By United Press.
Mexico, City, April Under Sec
retary Amado Guirre of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture today flatly de-
MED the statement attributed to him
that japanese companies had acquir-
ed properties in Lower California.
Surprise is manifested in govern
ment business circles over the ex-
.oitement Of the reports that have
been circulated in the United States.
q can say that up to the present
there has been no sale of lands in
Lower California to Japanese sub
iects; neither has the department OF
deye.opment authorized anything Civ
ing foreigners rights to large eXten-
sions of lands in that section" the
secretary said.
Moreover, since our constitution
prohibits the sale of national lands,
this department, in accord with
President Carranza, is giving, special
attention to all matters referring to
Lower California. Concessions Of
territory in that part of the repub-
lie which have been authorized, have
been for a reduced number OF hec-
tares and to residents Of various
small villages of that territory, fol
lowing the policy Of creating small
land holdings with the object of ia
voring the natives"
Baron Fugitaro Otori, japanese
minister to Mexico, tonight issued
the following statement regarding
the discussion over alleged attempts
by japanese interests to purchase
lands in Lower California:
"a tempest in teapot has been
created and l think the Importance
the American press has given this
question is due to some political
maneuyer caused by the nearness
of the next presidential campaign.
It may be declared that there are
no concessions in Lower California
that favor the interests of my coun-
try Only near the town of Mexicali
is there a japanese colony that cul-
tivates rice, but this is absolutely
lacking in importance.
