MEXICAN OIL FIELDS
 ARE NOT DEPLETING
Such Reports Are Branded as
 "AbSurd and UnfOunded"

Mexico City, June 17.-Reports of depletion of Mexican oil fields were described as absurd and unfound- ed" by the treasury and commerce and industry departments of the Mex ican government. Figures were made public showing that since 1910 pro- duction of oil in Mexico has con- stantly increased and that it was es- timated the total output for the present year would be more than two hundred and sixty million barrels.
 The total amount of crude petrol cum on hand in Mexico at the end of 1920 was estimated at SS2SO39 barrels. The production for the first five months of the present year was given as follows:
 January, 16,246,020; February, 15,- 063,S64; March, 17,841,SS7; April, 1S,614, ,790; May, approximately, 19,- 100000.
 Expectations covering the same period were given in round numbers They were: January, seventeen mill lion; February, March and April, fifteen million each and May, four teen million. The total exportations for the five months were 77,O9S,6OO barrels.
 Rafaele Alcerreca, chief of the pe- troleum department said in comment ing on the situation:
 Persons studying petroleum af- fairs must not confuse exportation with production since the increase or decrease of exportation is depend ent on the circumstances of the mo- ment."

COMMENDS SPIRIT
 OF ROTARY CLUBS
International Convention Opens
 at Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh, Scotland, June IT, Rev. M. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, Ga, today presented banner to the Ro- tary club of Scotland at the interna- tional convention of Rotarians as a token of American good will
 In presenting the gift he praised the spirit of Rotarians which he said was to serve the world-not to be served. This spirit, he said, was be- ginning to pervade, with it's subtle beauty and irresistible force, the life of civilization.
 Rotary" he said, must represent human life with it's eager enterprises, its vaulting ambitions and the divine yearnings and aspirations of it's great throbbing heart.
 ''In this interpretation have placed my emphasis upon tho idea of srepre- sentation. To my mind this is the genius of our English democracy. The continental democracy of the eigh- teenth century and the infantile cries of democracy in eastern Europe to- day are intensely individualistic. It is a babel of conflicting cries-con- fusion worse confounded'-each ut tering the language of his own need, unconscious of the needs of others.
 But if democracy ever pauses with
 
 fine may be the primary instinct of liberty which gave it utterance-it can only exchange tyranny for an- archy.
 We have dared to cross the ocean to deliver to you a message from America. And we dare affirm that, better than any political party or any purely commercial organization, are we fitted to express our national spirit. |
 Rotary is American. But Rotary is just as truly British. Men of Glas- l gow, this flag which I present to you | is never so beautiful nor meaning | full as when it stands, as it does to- | day, where it can reflect the rich, re- | gal red of yoQr Union Jack while, at the same time it can catch the light of the radiant stars of Old Glory. Nor can it's spirit and principles fiu6 a per feet expression in the life Rf men until they can find a perfect trans lation in the language of the English speaking democracies of the world.'
