OBNOXIOUS SITUATION

UNITED Press Leased Wire Serv1ce.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA new
crisis in the relations between the
United States and Mexico was threat
ening, it appeared today, due to the
alleged action Of the Carranza gov
ernment in preventing the drilling OF
new OIL wells by American companies.
Secret negotiations are in progress
between this government and Mexico
City. it was reported, the United
States notes not being made public
because the matter is domestic to
Mexico. 1t was reported that within
the last six months, three notes from
the state department to Carranza with
regard to the Oil situation have been
ignored by Mexico.
The present situation Is becoming
so obnoxious to this government 1t
was learned that Secretary Lansing is
understood to have under considera-
Ition the sending of sharp communi-
ication to Carranza informing him fiat
" that he must stop interfering with
American oil operations.
AT the Mexican embassy today 1t
was announced that reports of inter-
ference with American oil drilling
were without confirmation.
President Wilson personally PROB
ably will direct this country's course
in the new crisis, it was believed. He
feels. 1t was learned, that the Mexican
Situation is so full of possibilities
that it is matter of the foremost
importance to the nation and should
be handled by the chief executive him.
