to the fascist powers the fabul-
ously rich petroleum deposits it
seized from American and British
owners were reliably reported to-
day to have broken down.
American and British bankers,
international News Service was
Informed, have refused to provide
the necessary banking credits to
an American agent who is armed
with Mexican cantractS for sale
of the oil abroad.
Germany is represented as eager
to take up to as much as SOC, 900
tons Of Mexican petroleum year,
but had declined to pay for the oil
until it is delivered in Germany.
CASH DEMANDED
Mexico, on the other hand, de-
mands that she be paid for the
oil, or at least that the payment
be guaranteed through acceptable
international banking credits, be-
fore the oil leaves Mexico.
The situation is further compli-
Gated by the fact that Mexico
possesses no oil tankers to trans
port the petroleum to Germany,

Germs whose lands were exproprl
ated, operated their own fleets OF
tankers. These were removed be
fore the Mexican authorities could
get their hands on them.
The British and American
companies have threatened to
seize by Federal writ any tankers
bearing cargoes Of Mexican oil
should they appear in any ports
of these two countries.
To ship the oil from Mexico
the American agent who obtained
the Mexican contracts first must
guarantee payment to the Mexi'
car. government and then he able
to finance the chatering OF for
eign oil tankers to take the oil to
Germany and other countries.
GERMANY'S TERMS
The agent, an American who de.
Scrlbcs himself as an independent
oil OPERATOR" reputedly obtained
contracts with the Mexican gov
ernment for disposal Of several
million barrels of oil annually to
European countries.
Germany has offered, it was
understood, to pay for the oil 40
per cent in international banking
credits or cash, and 80 per cent
in manufactured goods, or the
equivalent in aSki marks which
are negotiable only in Germany
for purchase Of German goods.
Meanwhile, it was learned to
day that the United States has
made another formal demand
upon Mexico to observe interna'
tional law on land appropriations
and arrange for prompt payment
for nearly two hundred tracts OF
agarian lands taken from their
American owners.
OBLIGATION CITED
The note again calls attention
to the good neighbor" policy as
one which, if it is to be effective
is multilateral and obligatory upon
Mexico as well as the United
States.
In its reply to the first Amer
lean note Mexico refused this
country's proposal that the matter
of compensation be referred to an
international arbitration commits
sion and suggested that one com
missioner from the United States
and one from Mexico act as ad

ADVICE OF ARTS
GROUP SOUGHT
ON D. C. FLAG
Committee Eliminates
All But 2 Designs

The District of Columbia will
have to wait longer before having
an official flag to wave.
Although the flag commission
met today, it eliminated all but
two of the proposed designs and
asked the Fine Arts Commission
for it's assistance in making the
final selection.
DESIGNS DESCRIBED
The choice was narrowed to the
design inspired by the shield from
WaShington'S coat-of-arms, as
brought forth by A. E. Dubois, Of
the heraldic section, Quartermas-
ters Corps, and the design sub
mitted by Mrs. D. A. Hawkins, of
the American Liberty Chapter Of
the D. A. R.
The latter design has a blue
field, with a large circle Of 48 gold
stars and in the center of the cir
Gle a large star composed Of 13
gold stripes. The space in the
center of the large star above
shows the shield from Washing
toms coat-of-arms.
The other design shows three
red stars on a white background
ranged across the top of the flag,
and three white and two red
stripes below. Commissioner Mel
vim C. Hazen said this design ori-
ginally was submitted in 1924 by
Charles Dunn, now an official III
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
It was unearthed recently in Mr.
Dubois research.
ADVISORY OPINION
The Flag Commission, composed
of Commissioner Hazen and rep
resentatives of the Secretaries of
War and Navy, was created by an
act of Congress on June 16. Capt.
A. D. Hopping represented Secre-
tary of War Woodring today and
