MEXICO DOWNS
US. OIL CLAIMS
Settlement of Much Vexed
Question Not Yet in
Sight.
PublIc Ledger serviceD

Settlement of the much-vexed
Mexican oil question is not In sight
despite persistent reports from
Mexico City that the conference
there between government officials
and representatives of American
petroleum interests was making
progress. 1t was learned authori-
tatively yesterday that each side is
holding its ground and the confer
ence is perfectly deadlocked.
Not a single gain has been reg
istered by the American represent
atives who went to Mexico confident
that the matter would be speedily
adjusted. The Americans, it is un-
derstood, have met not only rejec-
tIon Of their demands but the new
Mexican government has increased
the taxes on May and June exports
of oil.
The American oil interests. it has
been known, were eager to assist
the new government in Mexico es-
tablish itself firmly, actuated large
ly by the belief that the de la
Huerta regime would protect and
encourage foreign investment. APP
parently the representatives sent to
the oil conference have waited pa
tientIy for some concrete exhibition
of this good will, which has failed
to materialize.
They assert that their sub-soil
rights on lands, even when unde-
veloped. are just as legitimate, just
as much exempt from any confisca-
tory claims which the Carranza de-
crees might put into effect, as il
the wells were already producing.
