OIL IN MEXICO
ALMOST STOPPED
Attitude of Mexicans To.
ward Foreign Companies
Causes Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Production
of oil in Mexico practically has ceased
as the result of DEGREES promulgated
by President Carranza and the general
attitude of the Mexican government
toward foreign oil companies. Chair
man Payne of the shipping board was
told today by a delegation of Ameri-
carroll men. .headed by F. r. Kelloge
Of New York.
Drilling of new wells in the Tam
pico district, from which comes much
Of the worlds oil supply, has been
prohibited by the Mexican govern
ment, the oil men said, and there have
been difficulties with transportation
to seaports for shipment and other
handicaps.
Shipping board officials conceded
that a situation as outlined by the oil
men would have serious effects for
the American merchant marine as the
boards supply comes largely from
the Mexican fields. The board now is
operating some 500 oil burning ships
and the stores now on hand will not
last more than two months
