them as confiscatory

Producers of Petroleum in Mexico,

memorandum reviewing the history

covery in that country up to the re-
cent decree of President Obregon in
creasing the tax rs per cent,
The situation was presented to the
State Department few days after
the PRONUNCIATION of the decree, but
no action has been taken by Secretary
Hughes. 1t was asserted by the oil
operators then that the decree was I'M
constitutional, since the President OF
Mexico under the provisions of the
constitution could issue such decree
only when special powers had been
conferred upon him.
