Than Heretofore.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Although the State Department has
maintained its policy Of absolute ST.

exchanged with Mexico, the state
ment was authorized at the depart

preaching an ultimatum on Mexico IN
the secret notes were officially 6enled
The statement was made that the
Washington Government hopes to ad-
just it's difficulties with Mexico by ne
Gotiation.
Unofficial Reports Heard.
The State Department Is aware OF
the unofficial reports from Mexico
City recently indicating that steps
might be in contemplation by the
Gales government to adjust Difficult
ties over American owned property
under new Mexican laws, but has re-
ceived no official word from the Mex
lean government in that connection.
It was reiterated that Americans
and American companies in Mexico
were at liberty to negotiate with the
Mexican government on their own mi
tiative and that the State Department
is not fully advised as to the progress
Of such negotiations, in which 1t has
no part.
Information Held Accurate.
While no further official statement
was forthcoming as to conflicting
American and Mexican government
figures over the status of American oil
companies in Mexico, it was made
clear that the department has no rea-
son to doubt the substantial accuracy
of the information it furnished to the
Senate on the point.
The data then given as to the high
percentage of the total Mexican oil
production, controlled by American
companies which have not accepted
concessions, was said to be an accu-
rate summary of the official informa-
ton of the Washington Government.
