MEXICO DEFENDS
 ALIEN LAND LAW
Replies to Objections Voiced by
 United States

Washington, Jan. % lP,--TAe Mexican "anti-alien land law" sub j"ct Of ConlprSaions between Wash ington and Mexico City, is defend cd in q diplomatic brief drafted by Foreign Minister saenA and made public here by the Mexican ambas- sa1or.
 While making no mention of TO- troactiyo provisions of the law 10 which this government has recently protested the brief supported other phases imposing conditions under which foreigners may acquire land and stock in Mexican companies or concessions,
 The foreign minister declared the organic law or section 1 of article 27 Of the Mexican constitution can not be considered as an alien law because it does not deal with tho l status Oi foreigners. Instead, he as- serted, 4 treats with constitutional rights Of Moxicans and Mexican cor porations for acquisition Of lands and concessions in the republic,
 Tho brief pointed out that for eigners were permitted to acquire land and stock providing they agree not to have recourse 10 other means of making their rights effective than those which arc granted by Mexico 10 its nationals, A provision of the law requiring heirs coming into possession of property held by foreigners 10 agree not to appeal to their governments in case of dispute had been protested by the state de- partmcnt lt was contended that no American can waive his national rights in that fashion.
 Replying, the Mexican brief de- nied that such rights should be in- jured and declared that should q state be deprived of the liberty of modifying its laws at any time, it would be prevented from further de- Neopment in juridcal matters II added that "it is a matter pertain ing to the state itself to weight the advantages and disadvantage which q new law may have for the com. munity,"
 "As 1t will be scen," the docu. ment continued, the law. far from injuring acquired rights. is extremely lenicnt with foreigners, since it at lords them ample opportunity tc comply with the provisions of tn, constitution Of the republic"
 Tho foreign minister suggostec that the Mexican policy is nor liberal than that of the UniteC States, "where, by means of imm grafton laws, foreigners are prac tGaly barred from establishing themselves in it's territory, in 6 grea part of which residence is rcquire' as q condition to the acquisition 0 real property"
 He contcnded that rights of pc . troleum and mining companies hold , ing franchises only to the sub-so are protected. under tho law, an . that it is the policy of the govern ,, ment to prevent foreign interest from being molested by the develop ment of tho Agrarian policy, thu avoiding, In advance. possible diplo matic discussions with friendly na tions."
