Teagle, president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey:
'As a result of our conference with
Secretary Of the Treasury de Ia
Huerta, an agreement has been
reached placing oil taxes in Mexico
upon a sound and permanent basis.
This was primary purpose OF the
committees visit to Mexico city.
THE Mexican government was
convinced by the discussions that
total taxes on crude petroleum and
Its products should bear a definite
relation to their selling prices.
For production taxes, basis OF
valuation was agreed upon using
New York bunker fuel oil price as
criteron and providing for fixed
minimum tax and for an increase in
rate should the selling price advance.
As to export taxes, the arrangement
made by the committee with the Mex
lean government on September 3,
1921, continues in force.
Views on future development OF
petroleum resources Of Mexico were
exchanged, but without conclusive
results. An opportunity 10 continue
