that the Washington Government

Expects to Find Solution.

Mexico has recognized the import
ance in its relations with the United
States of the agreements of 1928,
said the amba assador Their inter
pretation and the completion of the
understanding then arrived at MAY =
of course differ, but Mexico has car
ried through in exemplary fashion th,
two mixed claims conventions which
grew out of the 1923 negotiations. and
there has never been reason TO believc
that she would not completely fulfill
any commitments made at the TIM
or any other matter within the agre~s-
ments.
Regarding the filing Of represent
tions with the Mexican government.
there is of course a difference between
formal protest for any act which ma!
have been committed, and recording
of a difference of opinion over matter
in process of being carried out. In
the matter of the petroleum and land
laws, it is to be remembered that the
laws became finally effective only
when the executive DEGREES regulating
them are pronounced. The best minds
of Mexico now are working upon
those regula tions and they may be
expected at the earliest moment to be
compatible with sound craftsmanship,
the Mexican government VIII not Is
sue hurried regulations but desires TO
have the finished regulations ready
as soon as possible.
Foreign Minister Saenz has madr
formal announcement to the press as
suring the public that the laws as reg
ulated will be friendly to existing
property rights in Mexico. The rights
of foreigners are defended by provi-
sions of the Mexican constitution, and
the present laws naturally cannot Vi.
niate those rights.
