tons Legally

Washington-A new element was In
jected into the Mexican question
through formal protest to the State de-
partment by American oil operators
against the rs per cent increase in
taxes OF petroleum under a decree is
sued In Mexico since the present nego-
tiations for the drawing Of a treaty Of
amity and m e were begun, In
some circles the opinion was expressed
that this situation might have to be
faced before final adjustment could be
made for the more basic question Of
diplomatic relations,
Washington Not Surprised.
Although uniformed officially Of
the statement issued In Mexico City in
which 1t vas asserted that President
Obregon could not sign such a treaty
as has been proposed by the American
government as a condition Of ~recogni-
ton, 1t was learned that publication Of
the statement occasioned no surprise
here. 1t was intimated in this connec-
ton that Obregon's recent answer to
the proposals of the State department
was of a similar character. This COM
munication has not as yet been re-
piled to and, it raj indicated, will not
be except by George T. Summerlin,
American charge d~'affaires.
Officials, it was said, look for the
negotiations to be concluded success
fully. The course which might be
taken in the event of their failure has
not been indicated.
Taxes Called co~nfiscatory.
The representative of the oil COM
panies pointed out that the recent in-
creases in taxes had been imposed by
decree, which, it was claimed, was I'M
constitutional, since the constitution
provided for such action by decree only
in cases OF "the suspension of guaran-
tees" a provision in Mexican law cor
responding closely to the declaration
of martial law. It also was insisted
that the present decree was unfair and
tantamount to co~nfiscation.
The %soundness of the contention Of
the Mexican foreign office that the
president could not sign the treaty
because of the restrictions contained
in Article Is of the Mexican constitu-
ton was questioned by administration
officials.
Treaty Acceptance Forecast.
Mexico City-Mexico Is prepared to
agree to the suggestions contained in
the memorandum brought here from
Washington by Charge D'Affaires Sum-
merlin after certain notifications are
made by the United States government,
which it Is confidently expected will
be made, and the relations between
the two nations doubtless will be most
cordial, according to a statement made
by Secretary of Foreign Relations PAM
to the publishers of the newspapers in
Mexico City.
The notifications referred to pertain
to amendments of the Mexican consti-
tuition which cannot be effected by pre-
sidential decree, but must come as a
result of action by the Senate, the
newspaper men were informed.
