MEXICO CITY. July 9.-By The
Associated Press THE withdrawal
of the United States cruisers Sacra.
mentO and Cleveland from TaniDico
has relieved a situation which off
Gals here declare might have proved
embarrassing any moment
But there is no, apparent intimation
that the Mexican government intends
to recede from the position it has
taken on the recent increase in the
export tax on oil, which prompted the
oil properties to shut down The tax
became effective July first and the
government expects 1t to be paid
when il becomes due, which viii be
August 25.
There also is the question o. the
indemnities which it is understood
the government wishes to secure for
discharged employees of the oil prop
critics. Mexican) law makes provision
for the payment of three months sal
airy for peremptory discharge. Thus
far this phase of theesituation has not
been taken up through diplomatic
channels.
Various government officials open
ly accuse The oil men of intriguing
against Mexico and attempting to en-
broil it with war with the United
States. General Gales, chief of the
cabinet, is particularly outspoken.
"The infamous Vaccinations of the
oil men have failed in their purpose
to ALLEVIATE the workmen from the
government" says the general.
The department of industry and
commerce issued a statement today
by its chief petroleum inspector in
Tampico, to the effect that 100000
tons of oil were exported during the
first seven days of July, representing
no material decrease in such expOrta-
t;ons. The statement adds that many
requests were being received for per-
mits to drill new wells and that not
more than 1000 men now were out of
work as q. result of the shutdown in
the Tampico region. Other sources of
information have estimated the un-
employed to number from 10 to 10000
men.

WAY IS PAVED FOR HARDING To
TAKE LEAD IN PACIFIC PROBLEM
London Observer, in Inside Story of Developments Says
Nothing Now Stands in Way of Washington Cabinet to
Issue Invitation and Propose Its Own Terms

LONDON, June 10.-The Sunday
Observer gives what purpOrts to be
the inside" version of the develop
ments following upon Premier Lloyd
Georges announcement in the house
of commons Thursday that he hoped
to make a definite statement Monday
regarding the Pacific problem, which,
however, was dependent upon the re-
plies received from the United States,
Japan and China"
The newspaper says:
Here was the rift within the lutte
that would have silenced all: The
American government could not use
fully have entered into a conference
as result of the British suggestion.
The American administration
would have been seriously embarrass-
ed and the whole project of confer
ence on the treaty, China, disarma-
ment and related problems woulu
probably have been shipwrecked.
That was the execrable position
Thursday evening. On Friday the mis-
taken procedure received drastic cor
rections. The premier's words about
replies from the United States, Japan
and China were omitted from Hansard
and withdrawn from official existence.
The situation happily became as
though they had never been uttered.

Nothing now stands in America S

would be the strongest step toward
