American Conversations on
Oil Law Held Invasion
of Rights.

BY the Annotated Press.
BOGOTA, Colombia, February o.
The newspapers Of Eogota are CON-
menting unfavorably on the action ~
the United States State Department
asking American Minister Piles to take
up informally with the Colombian gov
eminent the recently enacted law coy-
cring Oil operations. They hint that
this Is an invasion OF the sovereign
rights Of Colombia.
When the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press called at the department
of industries to seek amplfication Of
Minister Of Industries Montalvos state
ment issued in New York through the
Colombian information Office. he wss
told by the chief of the legal section
Of the department Of mines and petro-
ieum that the minister would make no
further statement pending "the reported
proposed conversations between Mill
lister OF Foreign Affairs Urtide and
American Minister Piles.
Colombians May Protest Also.
Despite the unfavorabIe reaction to
the American State Departments ac-
ton on the part Of the press. there are
persistent reports that group of
wealthy Colombian landowners ar.
planning a petition against the execu-
tive decree OF January % Interpreting
the emergency law.
Representatives OF American con.
panies engaged in drilling for oil deny
the statement issued in New YORK quot
ing Montalvo as saying their companies
have accepted the conditions o; the
decree. They say they will flgh. the
Law to the bitter end.
The Americans contend the decree
does not conform to the emergency
law in that the emergency Law
grants the drilling companies six
months to present proofs of ownership
while the executive decree cuts this
time in half and specifies II drilling
permits are not obtained within 80 days
the authorities are authorized 10 seize
the properties OF the companies.
Decree Held Confiseatory.
The Americans also contend the de-
cree imposes fines and imprisonment for
violations which were not provided for
In the emergency Law.
In view of the fact that the emer-
gency Law authorizes the government
TO enter the oil business. it IS coateaded
that the decree is confiscatory. requir-
ing parties who have done the geoiogi-
cal survey work to deliver 70 the gov
eminent copies Of maps and charts oo-
tanned at great expense.
The Americans add it Is practically
impossible to present the titles within
the required time because OF the
amount of research work necessary
since records IN various parts OF the
country have Been lost and destroyed.

TELLEz SUPPLIES
IMMIGRANT DATA
Mexican Enjoys Action in
Letter to House Members
Causes Comment.

Ambassador Manuel c. Teller of
Mexico, it became known today, has
transmitted to members of the House
immigration committee report on the
question of Mexican immigration. the
committee having under consideration
the Box bill to place all Western Hem
isphere nations on quota basis.
The Ambassador. who adopted the
unusual procedure of communicating
directly with the members instead of
sending his letter through State De-
partment channels. did not express any
views. simply calling attention to a re-
por: of DR.. Manuel Gamio. a Mexican
scientist. on the Mexican immigration
question.
Question of Propriety.
The propriety Of the Mexican AM
bassador adopting this procedure of
communication was discussed by several
members, and the matter was called TO
the attention of the State Department.
1t was regarded by a number of mem-
bers as only courteous effort OF the
Ambassador to give the committee in
formation on the subject. although 1t
was predicted that the department
might find it advisable to call Senor
Tellez's attention to his departure from
the usual diplomatic procedure.
Protesting against the Box bill from
the standpoint of Government policy,
Representative Garner. Democrat Texas,
said he personally was not qualified to
pass upon the subject, but suggested
that Charles Evans Hughes be called
before the committee. He declared the
former Secretary of State, in view OF
the Havana Pan-American conference.
should be able to give valuable eX-
preston OF opinion on the proprietv Of
putting all the nations of the Western
Hemisphere on a quota basis.
A third Texan. Representative H'ld-
speth. ioined with Garner in opposing
the bill. each contending 1t would be
ill-advised to shut out Mexican labor. a
policy which they declared would be
economically a hardship in the border
territorY.
Quota Estimates Sought.
President Coolidge has been asked BY
the Senate for information concerning
the estimates Of immigration quotas pre-
pared by the Secretaries of State, Com
merce and Labor. which were submitted
TO the Senate more than year ego. but
were later recalled
In adopting resolution by Senator
Shipstcad. Farmer Labor. Minnesota,
the Senate asked whether the estimates
were "in process Of revision or improve
ment, and when. in the latter case. new
figures will reach Congress. accompa .
