MEXICO Warned.
SEIZURE OF U. s..
LAND MUST END.
Hull Demands Payment.
for Property Taken

Q.N.s.) The United States to-
day served blunt notice on Mexico
that seizures Of American proper
ties must cease and that immediate
arrangements must be made to
pay for lands already confiscated.
In q foral note Secretary of
State Hull accused the Mexican
government of a breach Of inter.
national obligation, Of bad faith
and Of deliberately confiscating
American properties under the
legalistic disguise of expropria-
ton without any intention Of ever
paying for them.
MEXICO WARNED
He said the United States Gov
ernment is fed up with false prom
ises Of payment and that the time
has come when it must have action
instead Of talk. He warned:
II find it necessary emphatl-
cally to state that, after many
years Of patient endeavor on the
part Of this Government to OBJ
tain just satisfaction for these
claims without success, the Gov
eminent of the United States
has regretfully reached the con-
clusion that it is impossible to
adjust them by diplomacy"
Hull renewed the demand made
in his first note Of July 81, since
rejected by Mexico, that the ques-
ton of setting the value of lands
appropriated and making prompt
and Just compensation for the
seizures, be submitted to arbitra-
tion by an outside commission
from the American republics or
by a commission composed of an
American and Mexican member
with, in the event of any disagree
ment, third independent member
to act as sole arbitrator"
REJECTS PROPOSAL
Hull demanded that further
seizures Of American property
cease until Mexico shows a disposi-
ton to pay. He rejected a counter
proposal by Mexico that instead
of international arbitration the
matter be settled between the two
governments by one American and
one Mexican commissioner with
out outside, unbiased third-party
adjudication to settle disagree

Blame for the June 4 riot during
