Mexican Investors Want
Peace Conference to Act
On Big F rinciple.

New York, Feb. A-E. L. Doheny
president Of the Mexican Petroleum
company, IS quoted by a representa-
I tive OF Dow. Jones & Co. as saying
/ that committee Of the National Asso-
citation for the Protection Of American
interests in Mexico is merely going 70
I the peace conference TO ask one big
question. Concisely stated it is: VIII
the governments that viii be estab-
lished IN many new states that will
be formed out OF the four great ma
tons Of eastern Europe be permitted
70 ignore vested property rights Of
citizens and foreigners that have been
established for years and II not Will
Mexico. which is in the same category,
while not a combatant in the great
war be allowed by the powers TO is
sue confiscatory DEGREES and by overt
acts not only TO ignore vested prop
erty rights but to enact legislation
that is against all law, equity and
fustice1"
Vested Rights InaIienabIe.
vested property rights in Mexico
are inalienable, no matter what Car
rama or any other government Of that
benighted country may declare" con-
tiuued Mr.. Doheny. They were ac-
Quired in most instances by purchase
and under the then existing Mexican
law
I'VE deem IL a matter OF gravest in
ternational importance that notice
should be served not only on Mexico
but on all states throughout the en-
tire world that the great powers in
sist upon a recognition OF vested
property rights Of foreigners and they
are not TO be interfered with BY a
change in form Of Government Of any
particular country nor at the whim Of
q president, king or dictator or whom
soever may happen at the moment to
be strong enough TO take over the
reigns Of government or the helm OF
state.
7 repeat that the issue is an inter
national one and that is the reason
we are going 10 Paris TO ask this one
big question Of the peace conference
II is understood that Chester o.
