MEXICO s AC 7 s
BRING CRISIS


MEXICO CITY, Jan. 25.-A new
crisis in the relations Of Mexico and
the United States was seen here
today in dispatches from Washing
ton revealing that the State Depart
ment considers as serious the situa-
ton created by the Mexican gov
ernment's action in canceling drill
ing permits previously granted TO
American companies for working
oil lands held under titles dating
prior to 1917.
Considerable concern was caused
by word that Washington might
consider the cancellations as an
covert act" amounting to confisca.
ton and warranting vigorous action
to protect American interests.
From the American viewpoint. as
revealed here! it is regarded as
futile for the Mexican government
to claim the American properties
have not been confiscated while,
simultaneously, the Government pre-
vents the holders Of rights granted
prior to the framing of the 1917
constitution from taking oil from
the grounds covered by these rights.
Both the American embassy here
and the Washington State Depart
ment are said to be keeping in close
touch with all developments.
