ship of petroleum has gone with possession OF surface
lights. But where oil or other mineral was known
surface rights were not granted for agriculture or
under homestead laws Another set Of laws govern
ed trancfer of such lands from federal ownership to
private possession Recently the United States has
enacted that oil lands the public domain shall be
leased. We are Informed that while there was a
great deoand for such enactment departmental reg
ulation hos practically nulifed the enactment which
was rvccd md pushed so vigorously through many
years The American people and their government
have found that laws and enactments apDving to
ownership Of other undeveoped mineral Land do not
work satisfactorily with OIL and they are irving to
fit some that will do So Mexico is in the same boat
w then should the United States interfere to force
vico in problem which has been found so difficult
at home
Discovery of mineral oil in large quantities has
been so recent and it's value to the world at large has
been so much moro recent that the world and nations
have not realized the great value of latent natural
resource bereath TIE soil Now THAT it has been reaz-
ed It is the most natural policv in the world that DOW
eminent should do everything possible to save and
conserve for itself and it's people so much OF that
creat natural nossihe What # e''e"o-

GREAT ~eas ahnndiro in those resources The noo-
ple of Mexico through their government have aToht
1~:,, -lo+ +h;,' married. with rndnr mis-
apprehension and without fair return And IN thew
effort to do So by constitutional provision or othef
wise they have the same justice in their cause TO
stand upon their own inherent rights that California
has to stand against the Japanese contention And
the United State has no RIGHT to interfere in Mexico
no more than it has to interfere in the japanese prob
lem in California.
This is not the first time in the history of Mexico
that government stepped in and made changes IN
subsoil rights; Kings Of Spain did SO. About 1|o0
ownership Of coal under the ground was changed
from the kings property to ownership with surface
rights. Up to that time coal was like all other
minerals: the subsoi product belonged to the crown
In 1850 or thereabout the crown abandoned that
right Twenty years later another king: by royal
edct returned coal the list of subsoi products BE-
longing to the crown He was cutting ana dt trylng
in coal lust as are Mexico and the United States in
oil now.

private palace in MOSCOW, where he
keeps up great state. and parades
on Sunday in gilded carriages with
his four Christian wives.

cuse him OF having accumulated
$500, 900 roubles (nominally $780,
