MEXICO TO CLAIM
 PACIFIC ISLANDS
Several Now Held by United
 States Are Included

San Antonio, Tex, July 12.-Con tentions upon which Mexico may base her claims to a number of islands just off the coast of California in the Pa cific ocean, which are now oc- cupied by Americans and are under the control of the United States, are summed up in report made to Pres1- dent Obregon by General Amado Aguirre, Sub-secretary of Agriculture and chief of the commission making a study of the islands, according to an account in Excelsior, published in Mexico City, The report declares that the claims of Mexico to the islands is i1.disputabl ble, but that the Mexican government is willing for the islands to remain under the American flag in return for foreign credit, the amount of which was not stipulated. Included in the group of islands is the Saba Catalina, of which William Wrigley, .Jr. of Chicago, is the sole owner Others are the Farallones, Santa Rosa, Santa Veracruz, Anacapa, Santa Barbara, San Nocolas, San Mig ltl and San C1emente.
 The arguments of General Aguirre l in favor of Mexico's claims to the is
  '"The United States is not occupy 1 ing them by right of discovery, be- cause they were discovered in the 18th century by the Spaniard naviga- | tor Cabrillo who gave them the | names which they now bear.
 They are not occupied by right of purchase as Mexico has never sold | them to any person or nation.
 | s"They are not occupied by right of conquest, for they were never con- l quered.
 "They are not occupied by right of 1 territorial jurisdiction, because the in- | ternational code of the United States
 sets the principle that the territorial | jurisdiction of nation cannot extend farther than league from shore, and l the islands in question are at a great | CT distance from the shore of the | United States.
 'The international code of the Unit
 ed States rejects the right of conquest by stating that not all territory con-
 quered belongs to tht conqueror, but
 only that part assigned by definite
 stipulations of duly authorized | treaties"
 Further proof of the claim of Mex leo to the islands is cited in the de-
 cree of the queen of Spain in 1886, declaring that in the future all pos sessions of the Kingdom of New Spain | belonged to the Republic of Mexico, l 2, sovereign nation. For many years, Mexico actually exercised control over the islands, it is asserted.
 In substantiation of the assertion that Mexico exercised dominion over the islands, it is pointed out that 6 decree was issued June 20, 1898, au- thorizing the governor of California to make grants of any part of the islands tc Mexicans, according to the stipu- lations of the law of August IS, 1924, and that the titles to parts of the islands granted to Castillero and Carriol in 1929 and 1S41 were nulli fed by later decrees of President President Alvarez in July, 1854, and by President Comfort March 10, 1857. It is stated by Excelsior that Pres iden Obregon may include the matter in General Aguirre's report in future negotiations between the United States and Mexico toward the accom- publishment of proposed Treaty of Friendship and Commerce"

FRANCE IS ANXIOUS
 ID ATTEND MEETING
(Continued from First Page.)

Amer1can embassy that the chamber Pf deputies was unanimously ap- plaudlng the announcement by Pre- mler Brland of the cordial attitude Df France toward the prospective in- vitation.
 The senate in it's turn was aroused to unusual enthusiasm in approval of President Harding's idea when the announcement regarding the govern ments action was made in that body
 It was said at the foreign office that Premier Briand probably would represent France at the proposed con- Terence if circumstances permit it; and that whoever was sent would go with the idea of cooperating whole heartedly in any scheme for disarm- ament compatible with the security | of France.
 No Reservations. The French government makes no reservations regarding the proposed conference, being willing, it is stated, to discuss the limitation of land as well as naval armament, always with the proviso that ample protection be assured against any further eventual aggression from the east
 The general impression made upon France by President Harding's move Is most favorable. as indicated by expressions on all sides Financial circles are particularly appreciative, in view of the prospect held out of great economies in the maintenance of the navy and the army and the consequent relief of pressure upon the treasury.
 France" said Premier Briand in his address to the chamber, replies eagerly to the suggestion for a con- ference, from which we may hope will come the final peace of the world"
 The whole house broke into pro- |t longer applause. M. Briand added
 T am sure I interpret the senti- ment of the chamber when I thank the head of state who has taken this noble initiative and who thought at once of associating our country with it. It is a homage rendered the pacific sentiments France has always shown in the gravest circumstances.

Grey May be Named


 London, July 12.-Viscount Grey of Falloden who was British secre- tary of state for foreign affairs when the world war began may, says the Daily Mail, lead Great Britain's dele gates to the disarmament conference to be held in Washington as a result of President Harding's proposal to the allied nations. The newspaper declares that a statesman at least of the type of Viscount Grey should be chosen and that he should act with experts from the dominions at the conference
 After the preliminary and technl- cal work of the conference is com pleted the Mail says, Premier Lloyd George may go to the United states to attend to the final moulding of the agreement Itappears to be the con- sensus of opinion that the conference would be during the coming autumn or at least at the latest during the early months of 1922
 Seldom have such scenes been wit messed in the British house of com mons as that enacted there yesterday when Mir Lloyd George told of Pres ident Harding's proposal, and an Ino.:-Scd Great Britain's hearty ac- quiesence It was apparent that parlia- ment, Downing street and the foreign office looked upon the presidents in- vitation to the allied nations to confer on limitation of armament as most , momentous.
 Premiers Hasten Meeting Premiers of the British dominions are said to be planning to cut short the sessions of the imperial confer ence, so that they may return to theil home states and prepare for the Washington conference. It appears tc l be the feeling in official quarters tha1 discussions of naval projects anC | other important matters should be held in abeyance until after the na tions have met and have decided upo1 their future action regarding militar. I and naval affairs.
 l Newspapers of this city continued todayto express satisfaction over Pres | ident Harding's proposal and tht ] ready response of the British govern ment. They indicated that the Wash ington conference may have far reach | ing effects upon, not only the arma- | ment situation but problems focusing i about the Far East.
