PLAN TO N4TTONALIZE
MEXICAN OIL LANDS
Petroleum Committee of Mexican Senate
Presented Report on Legislation
Respecting Foreign Owned
Property.

Mexico City, Wednesday, Aug. 27--
The petroleum committee of the Mexi.
can Senate to-day presented a report on
legislation regulating article 81 of the
constitution of 1917 which nationalizes
oil lands, and at the same time laid be.
fore the Senate draft of law regulat.
ing this article and eliminating all retro.
active effects of proposed oil legislation.
This is concession for which foreign
oil interests have been contending. The
proposals submitted by President Car.
rama last November looking to the reg.
ulation of article q, now are being con.
sidered by the Chamber of Deputies.
The Senate committees draft of the
law is based on the presidents proposals,
but makes important changes in the plan
of the chief executive. These are embed.
led in section -four of article three, which
provides that oil lands privately owned
or leased shall be nationaized except call
private properties regarding which there
have not been made contracts for the ex.
ploration and exploitation Of the subsoil
before May !, 1917, the date when the
present constitution became effective,
and also those where the owner of the
surface has not shown by positive acts
before this date that his intention has
been to use substances derived from the
subsoil.
The committees report, which was
given its first reading in the Senate TO-
day, viii be ready for the second time on
Friday, being scheduled to come up for
discussion next Tuesday, the day after
President Carranza will formally address
Congress at the opening Of the regular
session. Representatives of numerous oil
interests here have expressed satisfac-
tion with the recommendations of the
committee, asserting that if the proposed
regulations are passed the greater part
of the causes Of the present controversy
over oil win be removed.
The introduction to the report sets
forth the committees belief that prop.
erty rights are protected by the prinei-
pies expressed in article 81 Of the con
stitution and that the principles outlined
in the report respect the rights of oil
interests legitimately acquired before
May /, 1917, without the sacrifice of ma.
tional sovereignty or Of the rights won
by the constitutionalist revolution.

punmore Not Treacherous.

The treacherous shores of Lake Dun
more ought to be marked so that bathers
would keep away from such places. The
fatality of Thursday, following 50 close
" after the drowning Of another girl
from canoe this summer furnishes
warning Of the necessity of such charting
Of the dangerous places.-Barre Times.
However natural the conclusions of
The Times may be, they are neverthe
less hardly warranted by the facts. Lake
Dunmore is no more ''treacherous" than
any springfield, mountain lake in Yer
mont or elsewhere The canoe accident
might have happened in any fresh-water
lake or even at sea. 1t was merely the
result of expert swimmers over-estimat.
ing their strength and one of them per-
ishing because the distance from the
scene of the accident to the shore was
more than she could accomplish. A pad.
die might have saved her life The over.
turned canoe would certainly have sup
ported her until help came.
The second tragic accident may have
been due in a measure TO the shelving
character of the lakes bottom, but that
is something that applies to every lake
situated in rock formation. All noun
tain lakes are somewhat dangerous for
unskilled swimmers; so is the sea and so
is all water in bulk. In a measure it is a
treacherous element because it always
presents the material for a tragedy, and,
by virtue of sudden panic, faintness,
cramps or other seizure, may at almost
any time claim victim
Usually bathing is conducted in our
lakes along beaches and at well under
stood depths, and almost always with
competent swimmers in the party to
guard against fright or accident. That
this failed in the most recent Dunmore
tragedy was very evidently not the fault
of the lake or of any swimmer in the
party. Good medical and frst-ad au-
thority goes to show that heart failure,
the probable result of panic, was I'm
doubtedly the active element in the sad
event, which is little too recent to be
coolly and deliberately discussed.
1t is natural for people to turn in hor.
ror and revulsion from the scene Of any
water tragedy and the first remark that
rises to the lips Of the average person
who hears of such drowning is gener-
ally: ooh, that treacherous lakel" The
same thing is said of the sea under sim
liar conditions, the hungry, crawling
sea" of the poets metaphor, but usually
inanimate nature is not to blame
AT the same time, it is not bad plan
to mark the safe depths for non.swim-
mers at all bathing places and for some
competent person to see that they do not
put themselves in danger of the inev-
liable drop off" in shelving bottom. -
