the Italian man which the fascist
revolution considers one Of the
fundamental primordial duties OF the
state. When the state does not full

right TO exist. In view Of the wide

rules OF fascism."
After reviewing the foreign situ-

GALES SIGNS
new RULES ON
OIL STATUTES
u. S.-Mexico Dispute
Is Believed To Be
Settled; Morrow Is
Credited With Pact

MEXICO CITY, March 2S.@F)=
The dispute between Mexico and the
United States over the oil laws to-
day was considered TO have ended
with the signing Of new regulations
by President Gales.
Dwight W. Morrow, American am
bassador, who IL regarded as having
brought the controversy to an end,
said the regulations showed the Mex
lean governments determination to
recognize all the rights held by for
eigners in oil properties prior to the
adoption OF the 1917 constitution"
These laws, which have been a
cause Of friction between the two
governments for ten years, were
changed as the result Of conferences
extending over two months in which
Ambassodr Morrow, President Gales
and Luis Morones, minister OF indus
try and commerce. participated.
The three important points Of the
new regulations are:
Titles legal before 1917 are ron
firmed.
This confirmation Is valid in per-
petuity, removing the 80 year con-
~firmatory titles for rights held prior
to 1917, which the United States
government considered confiscatory.
Positive acts" or physical works
upon lands necessary fer retention
Of titles and mineral rights on the
lands are defined more literally.
On November II, 1927, the supreme
court decided that the cutting down
Of the oil companies rights to a fiji
ty year period was unconstitutional.
After the decision, President Gales
asked congress 70 modify the law 70
conform to the constitution as inter-
preted by the court and legislation
doing this was passed on December
rs. 1927 and promulgated January 10.
1928. The regulations now issued
make this effective.
In Mexico the passage Of a law by
congress and even the taking effect
Of that law through official. pubIica-
tion does not dispose Of the matter.
The president may at any time there
after promulgate regulations Of the
law. These regulations ere what
count and they are the law. for in
Mexico nobody knows what the law
IL until the president has announced
its regulations.
Determination Of what rights oil
companies had on May /, 1917 re-
mains. OF this, Ambassador Morrow
said: while there may well be
honest differences on this point.
there is no reason why any such diff
ferences cannot be settled satisfac-
torily through due operations or
Mexican governmental departments
and the Mexican courts"
