In Mexico Ask Sec
retary Hughes to Act
On Tax Problem

Washington, June 20.-Secre-
tary Hughes was urged today by
representatives OF American oil
companies operating in Mexico
to take steps to protect these
companies against taxation re-
garded by them as confiscatory.
More than a dozen men, in
cluding e. L. Doheny, president
of the Mexican Petroleum com
pany; F. R. Kellogg, general
counsel of the Association of Pro-
ducers of Petroleum in Mexico.
and Guy Stevens, director of the
association, placed before the
secretary a memorandum review
ing the history of Mexico's tax
| ltion of oil since its discovery In
that country up to the recent de-
cree 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 de-
cree.
Some administration Officers
have let an impression go out
that full credence was given te
the contentious of the oil opera
tors, but it is understood that th'
state department has been re-
lluctant to make any special rep
reservations to the Mexican gov
ernment at this time because o
