SEIZURE Law
IN MEXICO IS
new SUBJECT
CONFISCATORY MEASURE is
WIDE AND SWEEPING IN
POWER GRANTED TO TAKE
OVER PROPERTIES
By PRESTON GROVER
Ry Associated PreSSl

WASHINGTON, Dec. part
of official Washington has the
filters over what may grow out of
the Mexican appropriation law.
1t is a sweeping act under which
the president of Mexico is author
lied, IN the interest of the pub
lies need, to seize any property
within the republic, either tenn
porarily or permanently. The pur-
pose for the seizure may range
from military needs to the SIM
pier desire for 1.-The equitable dis
tribution of wealth, whether hoard
ed or monopo.ized to the exclusive
advantage of one or several per-
sons and in detriment generally of
the population as a whole or of a
social class in particular"
American investments in Mex
leo are estimated at a billion do
lars. Enel sh and Dutch invest
ments also are large.
Embarrasses Peace Farley
The law would be embarrassing
enough to United States officials
at any time. But it was shot
through the Mexican congress at
the behest of President Cardenas
just when the inter-American con-
ference was taking shape.
Peace is the watchWord of that
conference. Property seizure
doesn't look too peaceful to Amer
lean eyes, whether on this con-
t:nent or elsewhere.
The seizure law has a terrific
double-edged impact. 1t provides
for compensation where seizure
or government control is imposed.
But the compensation is to, be tho
amount at which the property is
listed for tax purposes.
Now anyone acquainted with
tax procedure either in this coun-
try or elsewhere knows that prop
erty IS assessed for taxes at any
level from 20 percent of it's full
cash value. But usually far less
than the latter. Courts have up
held the right of railroads, for in
stance, to have one value for tax
purposes and another higher value
upon. which passenger and freight
rates are based.
In Mexico the situation is re-
ported as the same. Oil wells,
gold and silver mines are on the
tax rolls at an assessment far I'M
der cash value. Thus an owner of
such property is faced with this
dilemma:
He either can run the risk of
having the government seize his
property at its low tax value, or
voluntarily go to the tax official
and have the assessment raised.
That course means paying more
taxes year after year.
Capable OF Drastic Action
Troubled particularly are own
ers of mines and oil fields, where
labor troubles have arisen. Under
certain circumstances these could
be taken by the government as
justification under the law for ex-
preparation of property of native
and foreign investors alike.
That the Mexican government
is capable of taking drastic action
is indicated by the manner in
which large landed estates have
been chopped into communal plots
for former poems.
The whole prospectus doesn't
fit nicely into the peace picture
President Roosevelt hoped to see
drawn at Buenos Aires.

For instance. New York's metro

In addition to George Voigt of New

Miss Miley. who has been playing

and back in Al despite a tendency
to push her iron shots to the right,
a fault she probably will have to over
come.
Tied with her at that figure was
Dorothy Gustafson, six times woman

on the heat on the last nine, when
she knew what she had to beat
