The American oil men have
again assumed the leadership in
Mexican negotiations. Last Oc-
tober the leadership was assumed
by the international bankers, when
Thomas w. Lamont, of j. p. Nor.
gan & Co.. acting as chairman OF
British, German, French, Dutch
and Swiss bankers. went to Mex
leo on the invitation of President
Oregon and caused the holding
up Of the agreement between the
Obregon government and the big
five" oil groups for payment Of
Mexican oil taxes.
New Agreement Made.
Private reports from Mexico
City state new negotiations were
started following the arrival in
Mexico of Seth b. Hunt, vice presi-
dent and director OF the standard
Oil Company, OF New Jersey, early
in February. With other represen-
tatives OF the Standard Oil, Sin
clair, Texas Oil. and other purely
American oil groups. he took up
the agreement reached last Sep

This arrangement had been
agreed to by Walter c. Teagle.

Amos l.. Beatty. president of the

Of the Atlantic Refining Company.
Under the agreement the oil cor

ent and future oil taxes with de-
faulted Mexican external bonds.
which the oil men would buy on
the market at ABOUT one-third OF
their face value.
To carry out this plan the oil
companies were arranging to buy q
lot Of these bonds for future taxes.
Lannon'S Activities.
Then Lamont, representing the
international bankers who hold a
large amount OF the defaulted
bonds, caused the oil men and tho
Mexican Government to hold up
the agreement. The payment Of
Gil taxes was postponed.
Meanwhile the oil corporations
were being assured that II they
held out a while longer the Obre-

agreed to permit a commission Of
representative of the various
countries interested In these
claims to pass upon their valid
ity.
The Mexican claims first came
to my attention early In 1918
while I was investigating certain
international conditions for the
Wilson Administration. was sur
prised to learn that, when VIC
tory depended on bending every
energy to winning the war, GER
tain group was occupying the
Department of States time with
Mexican claims.
An extensive organization in
the United States, with similar or
ganizations in England. was
grinding out claims against Mex
leo and filing them In Washing
ton and with the British and
French Foreign offices.
As a result of my investigations
obtained lists OF claims and copies
of several as filed in the United
States Department of State under
date of January 8, 1918, and there
after.
They had been delivered to the
State Department in patches and
were sent TO the Division OF Next
can Affairs. They have been gath
ering dust ever since.
The persons who piled up these
claims caused loss OF Mexican
trade to American industries many
times larger than the claims to-
tailed. There were other larger
losses, all due to these underground
activities.
Contradict tons Shown.
A general analysis of the claims
advanced by different groups In
the United States. England and
France show the following puzzling
contradictions:
/. The claims, aggegrating nearly
$500. 600, 900. cover such small
area of Mexican property that. II
the rest of Mexico were valued ac-
cordingly, the national resources OF
Mexico would total many thousand
billions OF dollars.
2. Tho valuations for purposes or
taxation on the properties in
volved were so extremely small
compared with the valuations set
forth in the claims that either
cheated out Of large sums through
improper valuation for taxation
purposes or else the claims are
/ 900 per cent too large. If they
are, then Mexico's liability regard
ing alleged damages will be around
$50, 0OO, 900 and not $500, 200, 900.
This initiation OF claims Is admit
ted by some Of the claimants.

claims. aggregatig approximately
vealed. For instance, the claims
from 1911 to 1912. The dispositions
were practically all sworn to and
verified in the fall of 1915. and
they were all filed in the State
Department under date of Janu-
airy 9, 1918. In every case the "at
torneys for claimant" are given as
ing. Salt Lake City, Utah. and A.

Tho forms OF the claims are alike
and the general text Of the condi-
tons existing under the revolution
and the charges made against the
alleged leaders OF alleged outlaws
are similar.

these and other claims always i'm

PROTEST AGAINST TAXES.

WINNIPEG. Can. March A.
Wholesale slaughter of children
and aged and sick persons. SO that

may roam the country unhamper-
ed, as a vagrant class in protest
to "extortionate taxation" is con-
templated by Peter Verigin, leader
of the Doukhober community.
Plan Deaths in River.
Declaration to this effect was pre-
vented in a statement by NJ. NJ. Kof-
tinoff. manager Of the Brilliant. B.
G., office of the Christian Commun-
uty Of Universal Brotherhood. as the
Doukhobors are known. This office
Ia the headquarters of the doughho-
bors of British Columbia.
All children under ten. together
with the MANNED and infirm who
cannot travel far, will be thrown
into the Columbia river II Veregin's
terrible proposal is acted upon. This,
will represent nearly half the Douk-
hobor population Of western Canada.
Fanatics who respect Veregtn's
judgment agree with his offer, kof'
.tinoff declares. They urge that the
able-bodieed go about the country
preaching the coming Of Christ and
conducting themselves as "a Vagrant
working class" belonging to the
''proletariat."
Liquidation of all material prop
erty owned by the Doukhobors was
discussed with favor at a mass meet
ing, Koftinoff averred. The commu-
mites will sell their lands and stock
to pay their debts II the idea takes
root, and will become wanderers.
Complains Of High Taexs.
OF the high taxes, Koftinoff says:
'-The government is laying a press
upon the Doukhobors from all
sources"
The community pays excessive
taxes in British Columbia. he as
serted, in roads alone not a cent of
which returns to the people. They
build and improve all roads in Brit
ish Columbia, for fifteen years have
paid more than $3.50, 900 in taxes, and
built about 100000 of roads, and
received about $1,000 in return.
The community. according TO Kof.
tinoff, has sent deputies to the gov
eminent, asking for $780, to put
through an Irrigation scheme at Bril-
liant. The deputation request was re-
fused. the reply being the Douk.
hobors were rich enough to under
take the scheme themselves.
Doukhobors women. Koftinoff
says. probably will oppose the kill
ing Of children and will protest
against the throwing of the small
bodies into the river.
