OIL RING PROBE
!. IS APPROVED IN
HARDING NOTE
President Indicates Desire tor
Congressional Investigation
of Anti Oregon Plots.
By Universal Service.

"A letter from President Harding
approving an investigation by Con-
gress Of the oil plots Of American
interests was learned today to be
In existence.
A resolution yesterday was intro
duced in the House by Congressman
Ryan Of New York asking for recog-
milton of the Obregon government.
A disclosure, indicative Of dis
rupted morale ON the part Of power
full interests involved In Mexican
intrigues, Is that representatives OF
the oil group have retained one OF
America. This lawyer is reputed to
be close to the Republican group
now debating party affairs.
The Presidents letter was received
by Congressman Campbell, chairman
of the Rules Committee Of the
House. In 1t the President states
that q Congressional investigation
would be desirable"
1t was revealed that Chairman
Campbell had seen the President.
1t is understood that he asked IL
such an investigation would inter-
fere with any negotiations now
pending and looking forward toward
recognition OF the Obregon govern.
ment.
The letter indicates that such an
investigation not only would not in
terfere with any negotiations, but
that IL would be welcomed. 1t was
further inferred i'm the letter that it
would be acceptable that Congress
should be placed in such light as
not to appear to be clOaking any
facts that might prove embarrassing
In certain quarters.
To ersons well informed OF the
situation, the letter from the Presi.
dent served to clarity and strengthen
in INTERROGATION a statement auth.
orized by the White House.
The Presidential letter left no
doubt in well posted minds that any
delay in consideration of the Con
nally resolution must have a proper
explanation.
With the White House welcoming
such an investigation as proposed,
where does the responsibility for de-
lay rest? This was a question that
was asked last night. Chairman
Campbell takes the stand that it is a
diplomatic matter. despite the fact
that agents OF the interests used the
names of President Harding, Score.
tary Hughes. Under Secretary
Fletcher, Secretary Fall. Attorney
General Daugherty and many others
in high Office, to further their own
ends.
The attitude of the White House
would seem to indicate that the Adj.
ministration wants this misuse of
names fully exposed before Congress.
The attitude Of the chairman OF the
Rules Committee in referring the
COnnally resolution to the State DE
partment does not appear to coincide
with Administrative statements.
