CRAVE ANXIETY
IS SHOWN OVER
MEXICAN EVENTS

Washington, Jan. C.-(AP)-Of-
fetal silence in Washington as to
details of negotiations with the
Mexican foreign office over retro
active features of New Mexican
petroleum and land law legislation
has failed to conceal the grave
anxiety with which events in Mex
leo City are being observed
Despite reiterated diplomatic
representations. it is now known
that the alien land law awaiting
PRONUNCIATION contains at least
four causes of retroactive applica
ton, which would adversely affect
the interests of American investors
in the properties involved. There
can be no question that these are
regarded as not only in cOntraven-
ton of the rules and principles OF
international law and equity, out
also are in direct violation of the
understanding between the two
governments which grew out Of the
conferences in 1923 and led to the
diplomatic recognition by the
United States of the present Next
can government.
What course the Washington ad-
ministratiOn may have in mind had
not been disclosed. That some
hope is still entertained OF an ad.
justment before the new Jaws are

the explanation OF the statement
authorized yesterday at the Waite

Of the power contained in the Mis-
souri's flow, Morris said, and even
if millions of dollars were spent in
building dam and power house
there would be no assurance that the
current would not undermine them
and make them useless.
Is Preparing Map
The manner in which a network of
high voltage power lines is being
spread over the state is shown by a
map which Morris now is preparing.
Lines of different voltage are shown
by various colors. The locations of
power plants also are designated.
The map shows in graphic fashion
the manner in which such power line
extensions are increasing and the
tendency toward bigger plants which
serve many neighboring communities
instead of one small plant for each
separate town.
Records of the railroad board in
dictate that the state now is in the
midst Of movement toward electriti
cation which surpasses anything in
its previous history.

declares the arrows not only are un-

the opposite direction from which she
is going. This would be confusing to
