Land, OIL LAW
FIGHT STILL ON

tinue, A. P. Told

MEXICO CITY, March 20.-While
various reports, some optimistic,
some pessimistic, are circulating re
garding the status Of MeNico's new
petroleum and land ownership laws,
the Associated Press learns on re-
liable authority that there has been
no fundamental change in the situa-
ton regarding these statutes and
that the uncertainty of the past sew
eral months still prevails.
In neither case have the regula-
tions giving effect r. these laws
been officially formulated, and ID is
still uncertain that these will be.
Apparently there is an even chance
that their publication will be &c
layed indefinitely.
The exchange Of views between
representatives of the foreign oil in
terests and the Mexican government
are continuing. AS result OF
these conferences tentative drafts III
suggested regulations have been
drawn up and are being studied by
the oil companies. However, these
drafts, containing about 3O.OlG
words, are not official regulations
hut merely the foundation on which
il is hoped to construct the regula-
tions, the government retaining com
plote freedom u promulgatc what
ever rules it desires. The rcgula-
tions will become official only when
they appear in the diario official.

From all over the state" Clark
added, assurances come from party

the nominee by at least two to one
