settlement of the thorny question
of appropriation.
Strong pressure, however, Is
being brought to bear.
Already Davis, who has OBJ
tanned contracts with the Mexican
government for disposition OF
large portions of its petroleum out
put, is negotiating with Germany
and Italy for its disposition.
CONFERS WITH HULL
Davis said he has contracted to
dispose of 100000 barrels of
Mexican oil annually, OF which
100000 tons will be sold this year
to Germany. Smaller amounts, he
said, will be sold to Italy.
The independent opera tor,
whose headquarters are in New
York, conferred yesterday with
Secretary of State Hull on the oil
matter. Afterward Hull was re-
luctant to comment on the subject
of the talk. He said he listened to
Davis as he has to other oil opera
tors who have come to his office
since the Cardenas regime seized
the $400O00,000 American and
British holdings.
Davis denied he intends selling

tain negotiations have been going

Mexican governments.
JUST BUSINESS"
He frankly discussed his inten-
ton to sell oil to Germany and
Italy.
Its just business" he said.
Somebody will handle the Mexi-
can oil. Why shouldn't it
be me?
I've already arranged to sell
100000 tons to Germany, and
some more to Italy"
Davis said he has been an indie
pendent oil dealer for five years
and that Germany and Italy are
just two of his clients all over
the world.
He said he sells oil to the Scan
dinavian countries, to Britain. to
the Balkans and in this country,
and purchases it not only from
Mexico, but from Venezuela. Co
lombia and other oil producing
countries.
NO SALES IN U. S.
He admitted the Mexican con-
tract, made possible by Mexico's
seizures and her inability to mar
ket the oil, is one of his largest.
The oil will be shipped from
Mexico in tankers owned by the
countries buying the oil. Ameri-
can and British companies whose
properties were seized operated
their own fleets of tankers, and
have refused to permit them To
be used further by Mexico.
Davis said he didn't intend try.

owning the rights to Mexico's oil
fields have threatened to seize

Despite strict sec1e ecy surrouni-

was believed the British mediator
has reached the opinion that a
compromise settlement of the con-

Czech government adds to the
concessions it already has held
