FINANCIAL AID
NECESSARY IN
MEXICAN TRADE
Country AWakens to Need of
Foreign Capital and Will
Probably Pass Laws to
Insure Protection.

Washington, April 4.-Privatc and
official advices from Mexico City
within the last few days were in
tcrpreted as clearly indicating a sud
den change in sentiment in the re-
public toward foreign investments
in Mexico and that the coming SEES
sion of congress will clear the at
mosphere of much of the hostility
shown since the adoption of the
1917 constitution.
The American oil interests in
Mexico, it was learned, have not
receded from the stand originally
taken, that their vested rights in
Mexico must be recognized and that
the anti-foreign and confiscatory
features of the new constitution
must not operate, ex-post facto
against them. Nor have they shown
any inclination to waive the rights
in property which were purchased
under the existing laws of Mexico,
but which were jeopafdized by the
new constitution. The American,
British and French governments
have protested to the Mexican gov
ernment against the operation of
certain parts of the constitution
which were termed "confiscatory.''
From recent advices it appears
the attitude of the Mexican people
at last, and it is believed in official
circles this attitude is inspired by
The government, is to recognize the
rights of all people, including for
eigners, to their vested rights under
international law.
One influence which is frankly
stated as having caused a change in
public sentiment is book recently
published in Mexico entitled For
cign Investments in Mexico" and
written by Carlos Diaz Dufoo, edi-
tor of FL impartial. which has
had an unprecedented popularity
among the reading population of the
republic According to an extern
sive quotation from this book which
has been received here through
diplomatic channels, the author
says:
Mexico needs capital. in degree
perhaps not experienced by any
ether young nation. Every indus
: try demands it, agriculture no less
than embarrassing. mining and the
oil industry alike"
TIE book then adds that foreign
ers are the only people who have
the necessary capital or who are
willing to risk it in hazardous in
vestments.
Practically all the newspapers IF
Mexico City and many of the provin-
cial papers are reported to be print
ing interviews with members of con-
gress and editorially commenting on
The problem of fore gn investments,

compelled to pay the prevailing high
prices which soon exhausted his
savings for the vacation and SOU
venirs for his family. Unable to
draw pay, being under charges, and
too proud to notify his friends, he
lived on one meal day. Three
weeks of enforced idleness were
gone before the trial was called.
Nothing is more demoralzing than
enforced idleness in Paris.
At the trial the defense was not
called, the whole case Ringing on
the technical meaning Of the avia-
tors pass. After the trial the de-
PENDANT was told he was released
from room arrest, but must report
TO the provost marshal daily until
the decision in his case was pub
lished.
Report Other Cases.
SO he loafed about in Paris four
weeks more. He was allowed
however, to draw his pay, which in
dicated the trivial nature of the
charges, Being college graduate
he attempted to enter a university
course which the French offer
American soldiers, but the very day
he was to start this course he was
ordered to leave Paris together with
about 40 other young officers also
awaiting court decision.
Arriving at ST. Afghan camp he
was confined in the barracks. There
he stayed seven additional weeks
until March 20, when telegram an
nounced that the charges against
him had been dismissed. After hav-
ing wasted the whole winter he was
at last allowed to resume flying.
Never until this experienced he
said to- me after his release, had |
imagined Americans could treat each
