San Antonio. Tex, Jan. 2l--
CoenizanCe was taken By the senate
subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situation today of the
Mexican Official report that is be-

testimony when there was inserted
in the record the Mexican consuls
Instructions from the foreign Of
flee. That was followed by re-
quest to Henry Forres, who had
Just testified to report to the COM
mittee any refusal by n Mexican
consul to wise his passports.
A great majority of Americans
who have testified do not expect
to return to Mexico but there are
n few who do. MeXlcans have not
yet been asked to appear but many
have given agents of the committee
regarding conditions in
their country and have expressed
a willingness to testify, although
most of them would prefer such
protection as an executive hearing
might afford them Only a few of
them would risk returning to Mex
leo at the present time even had
they not been made aware of the
Carran2a governments intention to
declare traitors all who testify.
Regarding the Mexican govern
ment's attitude towards its own ma
tionals it appeared probable the
committee would make no protest,

by the committee to the state de-

PERMISSION FOR
DRILLING WELLS
Temporary Concession Is
Made to American Oil Men
Who Own Property in
Mexico; Requested by us.

tsN MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEAsen WIpE:
Washington, Jan. 21 president
Carran2a has granted provisional
permits to American petroleum
producers to resume oil drillinGs
suspended in November, the Amer
lean Association of Petroleum Pro-
ducers in Mexico announced to-
night on the basis of advices from
Mexico City.
Petition for the permits, which
was made to the American govern
ment early this month, specified
that the permits would be accepted d
with the understanding that they
would continue in force only tenn
porarily or until the enactment OF
now oil legislation by the Mexican
government. 1t was provided in addi-
ton that the issuance OF acceptance
Of the permits would not be con-
strued as compromising either the
rights of oil companies or the Mex
lean government in a future per-
manent settlement of the contro-
versy.
In November, all American oil
companies in Mexico were COM
PEELED to suspend their operations
by military forces on the ground
that the companies had never re-
ceived drilling permits from the
Mexican government Terms under
which the permits were first OF
fered, included REIMBURSEMENT by
the companies of all titles to their
properties and agreement to abide
by the provisions of the new petro-
leum legislation which the govern
ment was preparing to ask Of con
gress.
Opposition to the acceptance OF
permits under the provisions was
justified, officials of the oil COM
panies asserted, for in December,
the Mexican senate passed new
petroleum bin which the officials
claimed, was virtually confiscatory
in character. AS the Mexican con-
gress adjourned without action by
the house, however, final settle
ment of oil legislation was de-
ferred until the convening of the
new congress after the elections

Washington, Jan. 21,-Despite
the steady growth or imports from
Japan since the signing of the
armistice, officials of the depart
ment of commerce today declared
that American markets have been
but little affected by the influx of
oriental goods. Imports from Ja-
pan have increased mainly in value
rather than in quantity, 1t Is said.
During the eleven months end
ing with November, 1919, the lat
est available figures, America i'm
ported goods valued at 1857, 30,-
1877 from Japan, compared with
1864, 4,269.502 in 1918 and $238,55O
617 in 1917.
One reason for the increase in
imports is the shipping facilities,
now available, officials declare,
though Japan's expansion in for
eign trade is regarded as general.
Japanese goods which are sent to
this country, however, are of the
cheaper grades, it is said, and do
not compete with the high class
American manufactures. Low
grade paper and cotton goods, tea,
vegetable oils, silk and bamboo
manufactures are said to form the
bulk of the Japanese imports. The
only classes of manufactures in
which Japan and the United States
are on a competitive footing are
toys and a few novelties in which
the two countries now lead the
world, officials say.
The constant increase in Japan's
export trade not only with the
indicates heavy demand will be-
made in the far east for American
machinery and mechanical devices
experts declare. Japan, It is said can
manufacture cneaply low grade
goods but must import machinery
with which to do II. Trade experts
seem to concede that Japan will
control the trade of the far east in
the cheaper lines, but they believe
the demand for American manu-
featuring machinery and office ap-
pliances will keep step with the
growth of japanese trade.
No invasion Of the American
markets by Japanese manufactur-
ers is expected by trade experts of
the department of commerce. At
present Japan has the advantage
over European exporters. they say,
because of the unsettled conditions
brought on by the war. But when
the industries of Europe have read
justed themselves q return of the
normal flow of imports into the
United states is looked for. For the
next few years Japan's progress as
a manufacturing nation will be al
most wholly along the lines of her
peculiar domestic products and low
grade manufactures, 1t Is asserted.

{" tossiSe JOURNAL SPECIAL gAsep wIRsl
The Hague, Jan. 21 (by the AS.
sociated Press) The reply from
the Dutch government to the de-
mand of the allied powers that the
former German emperor should be
given up to them for trial, is being
drafted and will be forwarded
some time this week to the Dutch
minister at Paris for communica-
Ition to the allies.
Although Holland is determined
to stick closely to diplomatic prece-
dent and not publish or intimate
the text of the reply until it is de-
Ilivered, there is apparently no
cause at the present time to make
ANY change in the prediction of the
Dutch newspapers that the Dutch
government will decline to accede
Ito the demand.
The Associated Press was in
formed today by n high official,
that the former German emperor
had been in no way consulted
about the reply. nor had he even
been officially informed of the de-
mand for his extradition.

New York, Jan. 21.- Utter
collapse and decentralization over
took the foreign exchange mar
ket today, resulting IN new low rec
ords for British, French, Italian
and various other European remit
tances.
The rate for British demand bills
fell 10 $500 "a or 3 l-2 cents un-
der its previous minimum and
Paris checks. Italian lires and Bel
gian francs broke in corresponding
or greater degree
Dealers in exchange We're again
inclined to attribute today's col
lapse TO such Wcll-knoWn and long
existing conditions, as the unfavor-
able trade balances against almost
all the foreign centers, and the
failure of the United States to rati-
fy the peace treaty,
In other quarters where the sit
uatlon has given rise to increased
misgivings, today's slump was more
directly associated with the process
of "deflation" due to the stringent
credit conditions demonstrated by
the federal reserve board.
The latest reversal in exchange Is
believed to bear close relation to
the policy recently lnaugurated by
the central bank, which aims TO re-
duce all unnecessary credits. IT, and
individuals have been holding large
amounts of exchange thereby tieing
up enormous sums of cash. Todays
liquidation and that which is ex-
pected TO follow will have the ef-
feet of turning frozen credit into
liquid form.
Trustworthy reports agree that
there has been much speculation in
foreign exchange and drastic over
hauling of this situation is deemed
essential to help stabilize domestic
monetary conditions.
Francs, with a normal of pre-
war value of about Is cents, fell to
the point where it took almost
twelve to purchase an American
dollar, while lires on Italian ex-
change ordinarily on q parity with
French dsotations, dropped to a
level wheee almost fourteen Were
equircd % eqndi he American
dollar.
No important form Of exchange,
not even rubles, which are nominal
w quoted at . to 4 ga cents,
against the pre-War quotation of !
1-2 cents, has suffered as much as
the German mark. Quoted before
the war at 23 Is cents, the mark
dwindled today to slightly under
] l-2 cents.

NAVAL sQUABbLE
CAUSE Of SHARP
SENATE DEBATE
Walsh of Montana CensureS
Sims For Reporting Con-
fidential Orders Regard
ina Great Britain.
tsv MORNING .ousnA. sese,A. .sAssp WAL


Washington, Jan. 2l.-The naval
decorations award controversy
twice reached the senate floor to-
day, each time bringing forth bit
ter debate. while the investigating
subcommittee continued its In
quiry with Major General George
Barnett, commandant of the ma
rine corps, and Rear Admiral A
w. Grant, war time commander of
the first battleship force of the At
lantic fleet, as witnesses
The controversy first reached
the senate when Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, introduced Il
resolution criticising Rear Admiral
Sims for recent testimony before
the investigating subcommittee IN
which instructions of the most
confidential nature" the senator
said, were laid before the world.
After sharp debate, on objection of
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
republican leader, the resolution
went over.
Later the dispute bobbed up
when Senator Hitchcock. of Ne
braslla. acting democratic leader,
aided by Senator Pittman, of Me-
vada, democratic member of the
investigating committee. conducted
a successful filibuster against the
resolution of Senator Hale, of
Maine, ehairman of the committee.
to allow the c1hnittee to employ
counsel. Chairman fIale interrupt
cd the debate to say that as ii was
evident that filibuster was in
progress. he would withdraw his
motion for immediate vote.
Pending further action by the
senate on his resolution Chairman
Hale adjourned hearings of the
subcommittee late in the day until
Friday, when Rear Admiral Austin
NJ. knight, head of the board
which passed on the recommenda-
tions before their submission to
Secretary Daniels. will be heard.
General Barnett, in his testimony
before the subcommittee, took
issue with Admiral Sims, saying
that there was no need for pro-
mitigation by Secretary Daniels of
a definite policy on naval medal
awards as Admiral Sims had con-
tended. The act authorizing dec
orations. the marine corps COM
mander held, was sufficiently eX-
plicit to guide commanding officers
in selecting men to be rewarded
Declaring that Thomas A. Edi-
son, contrary to popular belief,
chad little to do with the per-
fection of submarine detecting de-
vices during the war, Rear Admiral
Grant told the committee that two
young officers on his staff, Com
mander c. S. Mcdowell and Lieu
tenant Commander Miles Libbey
were largely responsible for the
successful development of the APP
partus. The admiral said that he
recommended both officers for
navy crosses, but that they did not
receive awards.

tive TO the matter had been re-

port until further information has

GEORGES CARPENTER
DUE TO REACH u. S.
MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY

sY MO tNIso 20 JRk-L SPECIAL LEASED WIREl
New York, Jan. 21.-Private ad-
vices from France indicate that
Georges Carpenter, European
heavyweight champion, will arrive
in this country about the middle of
February. The French pugilist,
challenger for the worlds title now
held by Jack Dempsey, will come
10 the United States to fulfill 4
contract entirely outside his ring
activities, but there is understood
10 be no obligation in this contract
which would prohibit from engag-
ing in either exhibition or limited
round boxing contests.
While Carpenters manager,
T,escamps, refuses to divulge the
actual conditions embodied in the
contract, various promoters appear
Ia take it for granted that the
Fs'ench fighter will be permitted to
engage in some form of restricted
ring activity and there is certain to
he a wild scramble for his services.
In view of his early arrival, 1t IS
considered unlikely that Carpenter
viii definitely sign for a Champion
shin bout with Dempsey, even II
in a position to do so, before ne
reaches America Cable negotia-
tions appear to be uncertain and
unsatisfactory and it is understood
that the French pugilist and his
manager prefer to do business dl-
rectly with the promoters. who
have already passed the 100000
mark in their bids for the fight.
The Frenchmen are thoroughly
familiar with the fact that a fight
bill has been introduced in the
New York legislature and that New
Jersey clubs hope to have the pres
ent law there changed to permit
bouts fully as satisfactory to the
boxing fans as the proposed New
York regulations.
