MEX|CANO|[ ISSUE !.
STUDIED BY HULL.
Adjustment of Differences
on Basis of Fairness to
,."
All Sought.

Secretary Of State Hull said today
this Government was striving to help
work out an adjustment Of the dif-,
ferences between the Mexican govern
ment and American and Britisn oil
companies operating In Mexico on .
basis Of fairness to all concerned.
The State Department is seriously
concerned about the possibilities in
herent in the situation brought about
by the Mexican government taking
over approximately s400. 600 900 worth
Of the foreign oil properties rs the re-
suit OF long labor controversy, the
Secretary said.
Mr.. Hull said he had 4 lengthy
conversation today with American
Ambassador Josephus Daniels in
Mexico City, acquainting him with all
phases Of this Governments attitude.
The Secretary said he hoped the difYi-
tulties could be adjusted fairly before
the situation reached an acute or too
highly complicated stage.
Copies of the Mexican laws relating
to appropriation Of foreign properties
have been on his desk for study dur.
ing the last several days, Mr.. Hull
disclosed. He said he felt q more
usual course for the Mexican govern
ment to have taken in the oil situa-
ton would have been to establish
what would be equivalent to a re-
ceivership in this country, but that
had not been done.
In reply to questions seeking more
SPECIFIC information about what steps
this Government is taking in the
matter. especially whether Ambassa-
dor Daniels would outline the United
States attitude to the Mexican gov
eminent, Secretary Hull said he could
not undertake to discuss the matter
further At this time for obvious rea-
sons"

For the first time In his IS years as

as part Of his sermon.
Thirty Of the IS couples the Rev.
Mr.. Austin has joined in matrimony
At the pastorate were In the congre9a-
ton to hear the pastor unfold his ideas
on the secret Of happiness IN married
life.
Urging the couples to make married
life daily duet" the Rev. Mr.. Austin
declared that husbands and wives
should learn to give and take, and
respect each others viewpoints.
Happiness in married life means
the happiness of two made by two," he
said. Neither one can do all as no
one individual can sing duet"
Self-control, kindness, cooperation
and true partnership were listed as
qualities that contribute to married
happiness.
Since, he declared, few couples hear
the marriage ceremony while 1t is
being read, they should study it before
the ceremony and make an earnest
effort to practice the marriage vows.
He then read the rite.

Former Senator Thomas w. Hard
wick of Georgia appeared to ask re-
moval of the excise tax on cold and
cleansing creams
Postponement of the tax return fl
ing date for corporations from March
Is to May was asked Of the COM
mittee by Prof. Fred r. Fairchild of
Yale University appearing for the
Connecticut Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Industry IS becoming overburdened
by the requirement Of reports for the
State and Federal Governments" DR..
Fairchild said 1T is a real hard
ship to have all this material prepared
by March each year and I feel
the relief accorded by later filing
date would be valuable"
The chamber witnesses also sup
ported the House provisions effecting
q combination Of estate tax schedules
for purposes Of simplification, on con-
dition the tax would not be increased
thereby, but opposed combination and
reduction of present estate and gift
tax exemptions.
The House bill would allow SAC, 900
exemption against either the gift tax
or the estate tax or both, and would
reduce the annual gift tax exemp-
ton from $1,000 to $1,000.
With regard to elimination of the
undistributed corporate profits levy,
the chamber also proposed retroactive
relief to the corporations ''unjustly
penalized" in 1886 and 1897, to be
attained partly through an alleviat ting
general credit Of Z substantial per-
centage Of net income for the tax
able year 1897.
In support Of its whole program
the chamber declared its acceptance
would be a first step toward a bal
anced budget and financial stability"
Failure to accept the proposals, it was
added, admittedly would leave the
Treasury facing losses of revenue ap-
preaching $1,000, 100000 and mount
ing appropriations over the next sew
eral years. In contrast, it was claimed,
the greatest risk in experimenting
along the lines suggested would be the
possible loss Of $500, ,0o0, 900 over q
years period.

NEW YORK, March '2l.-Richard
Whitney, 40, expelled former president
Of the New York Stock Exchange, dis
closed at puolic hearing today that
he was in serious financial straits in
November, 1887, and that his brother,
George Whitney, a partner in j. P.
Morgan & Co., came to his aid with
personal loan of 81 ,O82, 900.
The gray-haired defendant, who
has pleaded guilty to two grand lar
ceny indictments, denied that he was
"shielding\ any of his associates in
the investigation of the collapse of
Richard Whitney g. Co., Wall Street
brokerage firm. He insisted he alone
was responsible for the crash.
Assistant Attorney General Ambrose
v. Mccall, conducting the hearing,
brought out that the purpose of the
million-dollar loan guaranteed by
Whitneys brother was to enable Rich
ard Whitney to redeem securities
originally in the New York Stock Ex-
change gratuity fund.
Whitney testified he had misappro-
priated these securities and pledged
them to the Corn Exchange Bank for
o loan.
He said the Gratuity Fund Com
mttee made demand upon him last
November for the return of the securi-
ties and that his brother came to his
aid. The gratuity fund amounted to
about S2,000.000. Richard Whitney
was custodian of the fund.
