MEXICAN OFFICIAL
 ON OIL QUESTION
Says Measure Does Not Contain
 Retroactive Features

Mexico City, Aug. 2S.-Luis Cabre- ra, secretary of the treasury, it was stated authOritativeIy today. will voice the views of the executive de- partment Of the government during the pending debate on petroleum legislation in the Mexican congress. lie was quoted today as declaring that the authors of the oil law pre- sented yesterday in a report to the senate were representatives of oil interests. This law eliminates the re- troactive features which have been the chief points objected to as confisca- tory by foreign oil interests.
 A statement was furnished the As sociated Press tonight by Leon Sal inas, acting secretary of industry and commerce, which department has charge of petroleum matters decIar- ing that, judging from press dis patches recent statements by his Ce- partment on the governments stand in regard to the legal aspects of Ar ticle 27 of the constitution and Presi- dent Carranza's proposals of last No- Vember had been misinterpreted by the oil producers association.
 II have never said the protected law would be retroactive in effect" he said, but I have said and still maintain that l understand the mean ing of the word 'retroactiVe' to be very different than the construction placed upon it by the oil producers association The association under the meaning it gives this word, claims that laws are immutable and that we have no right to change them, even if the changes arc in the general in- tereSt. Since l believe that a free people has the absolute right to enact laws which give the greatest aid to it's devclopmen ent I cannot agree with the oil association, which only de- fends it's own privileged situation nor can l agree to it's interpretation of words"

While Signor Orlando is returning Immediately to Italy there

Baron Sonnno Italian foreign minister and the other Italian
representatives will remain in Paris temporarily.
The situation regards ltay claims still acute. There

Sgnor Orlando has replied to the statement of President
Wilson with regard to the Italian situation The premier

today nothing of the intention of the Italians to quit the
conference 1t merely states Itays concerning
Fiume and the Damatan coast and does not appear the
form of an ultmatum.
Premier Orlando declares that President Wilson's procama-
ton attempt to place the government opposition the

"He is treating the Italians adds the premier "as if they

Referring TO President wilson's
statement, Premier orlando says Il
entirely purports to demonstrate that
the Italian claims beyond certain

premier adds that he never denied
these principles and that even Presi-

they had had together he (Orlando)
had never relied upon the formal au-
thority of treaty by which he knew
President Wilson was not bound, but
merely relied on reason and justice,

Signor Orlando deplores that he
could not convince President Wilson.

Orlando continued. at is impossible
