SENATE POSTPONES
DECISION ON SMITH
UNTIL He APPEARS

Continued from First Page)
Col. Smith as Senator was the sub
ject of some speculation. 1t was
pointed out that he might issue a
public statement declaring that the
Senate had ridden roughshOd over
the sovereign rights of the State of
Illinois in refusing to accept the
credentials of Col. Smith. He might
even refuse to send in the appoint
ment of another man as Senator and
lay the basis for the contest in the
next Congress over the right Of Col
Smith to be seated then.
Procedure Is Debated.
Sentiment in the Senate in favor OF
denying Col. Smith the right to be
seated on presentation of his creden-
tials of appointment by the governor
which yesterday apparently had IN
creased I'm strength. today was less
noticeable. Some OF the older heads
were more favorable TO permitting the
acceptance of the credentials and the
swearing in Of Smith, with the under
standing that a contest to oust hlm
would Immediately follow.

FOREIGN OIL FIRMS
WARNEDBY MEXICO
Right of Redress Denied
Those Who Fail to Obey
New Land Law.
BY the Associated Press.

ny thS AkSOCA8tCO IIcSc.
MEXICO CITY, December IL
Warning that foreign oil companies
not complying with the new oil and
land law by December 81 will have
'renounced their rights and will have
no redress against the Mexican gov
ernment," is given by the minister
Of industry, commerce and labor,
Luis Morones, In a telegram TO the
oil men made public today.
The telegram served as a denial
Of reports that the time limit for
the companies to apply for conflrma-
tion of their titles would be extended.
Senior Morones took occasion also tn
announce that various foreign oil
concerns had applied for concessions
under the new law.
FL Aguila ana transcontinental
companies. he asserted, in making
their applications, included a request
for confirmation of certain titles 10
land acquired prior to adoption OF
the Mexican constitution Of 1917. This
assertion challenges a statement by
the companies that they had not APP
piled for confirmation of such titles.
Observers here point to apparent
Inconsistencies in the telegram to the
ing that noncompliance would mean
announcement of rights. Senior Mo-
rones at the same time asserted that
the law did not establish forfeiture
for viola tions.
Again, the telegram said, the Mexi-
can government had shown its good
faith in guaranteeing the acquired
interests of foreigners in the petro-
leum industry" and that "pre-consti-
tutiOnal property rights acquired by
foreign corporations or Mexican COM
panies composed Of foreigners may
be retained by them during the life
OF the company in question" as de-
termined by the charters and con-
tracts OF such companies.
Observers Still Mystified.
The first reaction of observers here
was that, until skilled legal advisers
had carefully an1lyZed this statement.
mystifcation would continue as to
what would happen after January l.
A further statement in the telegram
which caused comment was that num-
bers OF the biggest oil companies
which are popularity considered for
eign concerns, such as La Corona,
FL Aguila and others, are not foreign,
but according TO their articles of in
corporation are Mexican. If this Is
true, no foreign government would
have the right to interfere in their
behalf.
