NEW MEXICAN OIL POLICY PLANNED
 BY GOVERNMENT
IRepublIean A. ?. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Petroleum questions have been separated from the Mexican problem. it was learned today at the state department, and placed in the broader field of a general oil pol icy now under consideration by the government All matters concerning oil production in Mexico heretofore handled by the Mexican section will come directly under the supervision of the secretary of state, it was stated, and will receive the consideration given the questions concerning the general welfare of the nation rather than that accorded investors in foreign countries.
 The plan, it was explained. will have the effect of bringing the Mexican oil question into the same field with those growing out of the British and French agreement as to Mesopotamia and the operations of the Dutch in Java, and the operators in Canada and in the prospective oil zones of Central and South America.
 One of the most important subjects to come before the Mexican congress when 1t convenes Jan. .. in special session. is that of petroleum registration The Mexican senate more than year ago passed a bill designed to provide for the carrying out of the provisions in the new constitution looking to the naturalization of petroleum, but its terms were regarded as of such con fiscatory character that it met immedi- ate opposition in the chamber Of dep uties and the belief was expressed here today that it probably would not again be placed before the chairman. Another measure has been prepared and it is understood will be offered at the coming session President Obre- eon's first message at the opening of the session is not expected to indi- cate his position on the oil question, q it is customary for Mexican eXecu- tiVes to confine their messages 10 listing of the subjects that should be discussed by congress without recon mendations of any sort Hopes of the American government officials and rep resentatives of her companies operat- ing in Mexico that the new administra ton at Mexico City would adopt more couciliatory attitude toward all foreign oil interests have been somewhat dulled by recent developments. The state de partment has been notified that instead of clearing out the department de ll- ing with oil questions. the new admin istration has promoted at least one Of the old officials and has removed none. information also has been received that absolute title has been granted in the eases of eight claims filed on the oil properties under one of the CIrranza decrees against which repeated protest was made by the United States. The titles were given on the last day of the de Ia Huerta administration and about the same time that scores of permits 10 drill in federal zones were issued, ! D'ANNUNZlO LEAVES IN 5 DAYS

 Hold Down Budgets
 Mir Mondell told the president -elec that the governments greatest saving during the present session could be ac complshed by holding down the army and navy budgets and predicted tha by careful economy the annual appro priations for all departments could b. sealed down to approximately two bil lion dollars. He recommended agains any reduction in armament until ther had been an international disarmament agreement but said millions could b saved in expenditures of the militar and navy establishments without seri ously crippling their efficiency.
 Legislation fixing the enliste strength of the army at 150,000 O l75.0O0 in place of the present author ized strength of 2S0,000 was suggeste by Representative Anthony as on practical way of reducing expenses He also detailed various economics which he said could be accomplishe bv the executive branch of the govern ment in it's use of army funds.
 Senator Harding very earnestl uraed the importance of keeping az propriations down to the lowest pos sible figure" said Mir. Anthony att' inc conference. "He indicated the wis that appropriations for the army kept down in every possible way, a ways keeping in mind, however, that would not do to impair the streng' of the organizations backbone.
