The trade balance, always favorable

National Debt and Oil Tax Farley
Affected by Kidnapping

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Officials of
the Mexican government who are here
negotiating Mexican national debt
and oil tax agreements were plainly
disturbed by the kidnapping in Mexi-
CO of A. Bruce Bielaski and the hold
ing for ransom of forty American em-
ployes of the Cortez Oil Company near
Tampico and threatened destruction
of company property, valued at $780,
O00 Neither Adolfo de la Huerta,
Mexican minister of finance, nor any
of his staff would make any official
comment, pointing out that all their
information thus far had been OBJ
tanned from newspaper reports.
Thus far no definite connection has
been established between the Bielaski
incident, which took place in the state
of Morelos, and the Cortez episode
in Tampico. but in some quarters here
it was limited that the outbreaks may
have been inspired by political op.
ponents OF President Obregon's re.
gime, with the purpose of embarrasss
ing his representatives in the con.
ferences now under way here.
Property valued at millions of dol
lars is owned by American INTEREST,"
in the Tampico oil fields. and fears
are felt here that unless the rebels
under Gen. Gorozave,. who are hold.
ing the Cortez employees, are dis.
persed or captured, other outbreaks
are likely. Local Oil men wired theft
agents in Mexico to take special pre-
cautions to guard the lives Of theft
employees and the companies property
but at the close of business today NO
word of any trouble had been re-
ceived.
