TreatY Is Examined


 SANTA BARBARA, Cal, June 14.- Attorneys here who today went over the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, dat ed February 2. 1S4S. under which Mexico ceded California to the Unit ed States along with other territory stated that Mexico in that treaty ced- ed all territory west of the present boundary line between the two coun- tries at San Diego and that the treaty on the face of it, intended that Mex ico should renounce all ownership of territory west of that certain point.
 Lawyers here were inclined at first to believe that if MEico had pro claimed her right to the Pacific coast islands immediately after the signing of the treaty, she could have. estab- lisAed a valid claim, but that 70 years delay woud have practically conceded the ownership of the United States, irrespective of the terms of the treaty; also that the treaty itself makes it clear that Mexico intended to convey everything west of the Rio Grande and the Colorado rivers.
