MEX|C0PREPARES
REPLY ON LAND
Unofficial Sources Suggest
Indemnification Law

MEXICO CITY, July 23.-The for
eign office worked today on it's reply
to Secretary Hull's pointed suggestion
that Mexico do something about farm
lands seized from United States citi-
zens-but there was no official init
nation as to what the reply might be.
Unofficial sources suggested the for
eign office might call attention to
Mexico's indemnification law, which
provides that the government may
pay for appropriated properties within
10 years after they are taken over.
It was not known, however. whether
such a reply would be satisfactory to
the American Secretary of State or
whether he would press his suggestion
for arbitration of the issue arising
from the appropriation of an estimat-
ed 1,000,0o acres of land from Amer
ican owners since 1927.
Lawyers Make Statement.
An organization calling itself "The
Socialist Front of Lawyers" sent out
statement saying:
"The payment of our debt should be
computed on the basis of the new con-
cept of international finance which
fixes obligations on the capacity to pay,
and according to which neither Eng
land, nor Germany, nor Italy, nor
France, nor Belgium has paid its 'sa-
cred debt contracted from 19l4-1919."
On the other hand, the newspaper Ell
Universal Grafico said that far from
causing us worry (the note) should be
an encouragement to intensity produc-
ton to put Mexico in the position it
deserves among producing countries.
It is urgent that Mexico increase ex-
ports to increase its income to meet
obligations imposed by its policy Of
betterment for the people"

the insurgents continued their drive
at full force

Government pursuit planes were
reported to have downed five insur.
gent craft.
