WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. - A
break in diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
was freely predicted here today, fol
lowing an exchange Of four notes
between the two governments.
The notes revealed complete dis
agreement over application of the
Mexican alien land and oil laws, af-
fecting $1,00O,0O0,OOO of American
property rights, but did not mention
the underlying friction between the
two governments over alleged Mexi-
can radical activities in Central
America.
Secretary Kellogg's concluding
note of Oct 80 was interpreted in
inforued quarters as a virtual ulti-
matum that a rupture will result if
Mexico enforces it's law invalidating
oil titles of Americans who refuse to
exchange, before Jan. +, such titles
for fifty-year concessions"
Describing the situation as Eek
-tremely critical" and reminding
Mexico 1t obtained United States
recognition only on condition that
conflscatory provisions Of its 1917
constitution and later laws would
not be applied retroactively, the Kel-
logg note closed with this warning:
"The issues have been plainly de-
fined, and my Government in con.
clusion reasserts that it expects the
government of Mexico, in accordance
with the true intent and purpose of
the (Warren-Payne) negotiations Of
1923, eliminating in the recognition
of the government o1' Mexico by this
Government, to respect in their en-
tirety the acquired property rights
Of American citizens, which have
been the subject of our discussion,
and expects the Mexican govern
ment not to take any action under
the laws in question and the regu-
lations issued in pursuance thereto,
which would operate, either directly
or indirectly, to deprive American
citizens of the full ownership, use
and enjoyment Of their said
properties and property rights.
Mexico denied, in it's notes of Oct.
and Nov. II, that the United
States in recognizing Mexico had at
tached any strings or conditions.

JAPANESE DISPLEASED
Deem Nation Made Goat" by Fall.
Doheny Defense.

BU Uhued PfeS5
TOXIC, Nov. 24.-Inf1uential jap
anese today felt that Japan was
made the goat" in the defense of
former Secretary of the Interior AL
bert B. Fall, who is being tried with
E. l.. Doheny, oil millionaire. in
Washington in connection with al
legged frauds during the Harding Ad-
ministration oil scandal.
Attorney Frank j. Hogan's state
ment in his opening address in de-
fense of Fall and Doheny, that the
japanese planned to attack the
United States and Hawaii in 1921,
caused a sensation here. Hogan was
reported to have said that the Japa-
nese war Office in 1921 had ordered
mobilization of the fleet with the at.
tack in view.
Japanese authorities today con-
sidered it unfortunate that the ques-
ton of international relations had
been injected into what had been
looked upon as a domestic problem.

this morning.
The subpoena calling on him to
produce Navy records and reports of
the 1921-1922 Japanese war scare
was served upon the Secretary this
morning.
Secretary Wilbur said the insorma-
ton requested would be sent to the
court by special knowledge. The
Secretary said he had no personal
knowledge of the information sought
by the court, but that he would en-
deavor to furnish all the information
wanted without revealing State
secrets.

counsel, opened the third day of the
trial of former Secretary of the In
terror Albert Fall and Edward L
Doheny, oil magnate, on charges of
conspiracy to defraud the Govern

dence, including Navy documents.

The subpoena for VIII ur was is
sued at the request of Frank ]. Ho-
gan, chief counsel for the defense,
who has maintained that his client,
Doheny, agreed to lease the oil re-
serves and store naval oil on the
Pacific coast because naval officials
had informed him of necessity for
battleship fuel in the Pacific at that
time.
Specifically the subpsena requested
the report filed with the then Sec
retary DENLY by Admiral Gleavegn

ing the plans and movements OF

Doheny and Fall for conspiracy to
defraud the Government. At that
time the Senate Public Lands Com
mittee heard Admiral J. K. Robson
behind closed doors and decided not
to make the evidence public.
