The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-05-05

When President Cardenas an
noupced on March goth that his
government was expropriating
American and British oil COM
panies in Mexico, it caused some
liquidation of securities of the
companies involved. This liqui-
dation, and any that may be UNI
der consideration, may be i'll adj
vised.
The Union of Petroleum Work
ers had been demanding higher
wages and better working condi-
tons and the oil companies had
claimed they could not operate at
profit if the workers demands
were to be met. Following a gen
eral strike in the Mexican oil
fields last spring the Mexican
government interviewed and de-
creed a wage increase of about
Sill, 100000 a year, an extensive
pension system and give workers
a participation in the manage
ment. This decision was the first
move in the governments attempt
to drive foreign interests out of
Mexico.
The oil companies carried their
case to the Mexican Supreme
Court. The companies appeal
was denied and the court ordered
that back wages of $6,0O0.0O0, ex-
tending from May, 1887, to March
z, 1898, be paid Immediately.
The action of the Mexican gov
ernment in expropriating foreign
oil company properties means
that the government will run
these properties in a manner COM
parable to a receivership in the
United States. The properties
will be operated primarily for the
benefit of labor with any theoret-
ical surplus accruing to the legal
owners. Obviously, maintenance
and good management cannot be
expected.
Since approximately go percent
of the oil produced in Mexico last
year was exported. the oil COM
panies can subject Mexico's oil
industry to a severe squeeze.
Mexico has little or no access to
world markets and without trans
portation facilities the industry is
faced with serious problems.
The foreign companies can
shift to other sources of crude oil
supply without disrupting their
operations. Therefore, it appears
that the Mexican government has
failed in its aims to out bluff for
Ieign oil companies.
The estimated proportion Of
earnings of American oil conn
panies derived from operations in
MexicsaAre as follows: $50
Seab6ard Oil. 30 percent.
Std 81 New Jersey. five per
cent.
Gulf Oil. three percent
Texas Corp. one percent
Consolidated Oil. negligible.
Hence it can bee seen that the
earnings Of American oil com
panies in Mexico are not seriously
affected by President Cardenas'
order The principal loss may
come from ultimate confiseation
of oil properties. Standard of New
Jersey would be the largest suf-
fcrer. It's HuaSteca Petroleum
Co, is valued at approximately
SOS. 600. 900.
The controversy between the
oil companies and the Mexican
government can very likely be
settled by a compromise and the
properties restored to them with
perhaps some governmental man
agemcnt influence
Mexico Is not equipped TO con-
duct her own oil industry and
such q compruanise development
seems logical

TRANSIT COMPANY HIT
The Capital Transit Company
came in for a round Of criticism
from the assembled members dur
ing the first session. Charges that
inadequate equipment and care
less operation of cars by motor
men endangered the safety of
passengers, were leveled by Will
liam Clark Taylor, chairman Of
the public utilities committee.
The Capital Transit Company
and the Public Utilities Commis-
sion were vigorously assaled by
the Manor Park Citizens Associa-
ton last night for cancelling the
through bus service from Third
and Sheridan Streets to downtown
Washington.
MORE BUSES NEEDED
The overcrowding Of buses in
the Manor Park area also was
scored by the assembled citizens,
who declared that during rush
hours buses are so packed that
prospective riders frequently are
passed by.
The association voted to seek an
appropriation of $4,000 for a
girls gymnasium at the Calvin
Coolidge High School now under
construction at Fifth and Sheridan
Streets Northwest.
Following an election Of officers
In which George A. Corbin was re-
elected president, the association
approved q request for a traffic
officer at Thirteenth and Ken
nedy Streets and q traffic light
at Kennedy Street and Georgia
Avenue Northwest.
