said agreements must be ratified
by congress. For no reason what
ever, then, is the attitude of Presi-
dent Obregon censurable.
Neither has he failed In any
oil arrangement. The agreement
of Septem Der 3 was ratified by
General Obregon. with regard to
the proposals that the oil execu-
tives have made through me for
future explorations, l am taking
these with me, and they have not
been presented as yet to the de-
partment of industry and COM
merce through which the president
of the United States of Mexico will
issue his final word.
There is neither any reason to
PREJUDICE upon the bonds of the
Agrarian debt, when these have
not yet peen issued, nor the steps
that the Mexican government is
taking to give these bonds a real
market value made known. An
unfavorable statement upon secur-
tiles that a government Is trying
hard to strengthen obstructs with
those statements, the same inten-
ton of the Mexican administfa-
ton, which is making great sacri-
fices to obtain the funds that will
serve for the payment of lands
'ejidos' which must be assigned to
the townships in need of them.
These bonds have not yet been
placed in circulation, but had they
been already in the hands of land
holders these would be fully en-
titled to claim serious responsible
tiles from those who publicly at
tempted to demerit these bonds in
assuming so carelessly that they
were worthless.
ut is my belief that the person
that made such unjust statements
to the press in so rough a manner
cannot have been by any means
authorized by the American gov
eminent, If the phrases that have
been transmitted to me are exact.
IL some member of the senate in
his parliamentary speech caused a
bad impression, the Mexican gov
.ernment is not to blame.
II have not wished to pass over
inadvertently the statements to
which 1 refer, because they affect
directly the credit of Mexicn,
which we have endeavored to
strengthen in the conferences with
the international banking commit
tee of bankers. 7 believe the in
