May Accent Commission Plan.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26 RD.-A
source close to the government indi-
Gated unoff1cially last night that Mex
leo might accept in principle Secre-
tary Hulls suggestion that farm land
seizures be submitted to q two-man
commission.
Officially, the government remained
silent on the American Secretary of
States message, which was considered
much more emphatic than his previous
note on the subject July 81.
The unofficial source said there were
some complicating factors" entering
into the suggestion for a two-man
commission composed of an American
and Mexican to study the land ex-
preparations.

their home and bereft Of all means OF
LIVELIHOOD"
Mr.. Hull, by bringing the other ma
tions of the Western Hemisphere into
his argument, was believed enlistine
them in support of his position AM
erican citizens have large investments
throughout Latin America
The Secretary contended that if the
nations of the world adopted the Mexi-
can theory Of property it would re-
suit in the immediate breakdown of
confidence and trust between nations,
and in such progressive deterioration
Of international economic. and COM
mercial relations as would 'imperil the
very foundations of modern civiliza =
ton. Human progress would be fatally
set back"
Preference Aim Denied.
Mexicos contention that America
was seeking unequal treatment for
Americans, in view of the fact that
Mexicans whose lands were expropri-
ated were also receiving nothing, came
in for special criticism from Mr.. Hull
1T is contended, in word" he said
'that it is wholly justifable to deprive
an individual of his rights II all other
persons are equally deprived, and il no
victim is allowed to escape"
He added:
When aliens are admitted into q
country the country is obligated to ac-
cord them that degree of protection Of
life and property consistent with the
standards Of justice recognized by the
law OF nations. It is far from legiti-
mate for the Mexican government to
attempt to justify policy which in
essence constitutes bald confiscation
by raising the issue of the wholly in
applicable doctrine of equality"
Failure of Diplomacy.
Mr.. Hull said he found it "neces-
sary emphatically to state that, after
many years Of patient endeavor on the
part of this Government to obtain
just satisfaction for these claims with
out success, the Government of The
United States has regretfully reached
the conclusion that it is impossible
to adjust them by diplomacy"
He, therefore, reiterated his proposal
OF July 81 that the question should
be arbitrated by an American
commission.
Nevertheless, Mexico having pro-
posed tWo-mar 'littee to eval-
uate the prope' accepted the
suggestion as e, although,
he said, 1--WE h onversations
with regard to IL for many
years without result
Wants Halt to Seizures.
Either in case of arbitration or in
case of direct negotiation, he said,
my Government feels justified in re-
questing that the Mexican govern
ment should agree that no further
taking Of the properties of American
nationals should take place unless
accompanied by arrangements for ad-
equate, prompt and effective pay
ment."
He concluded by saying that this
Government has on repeated occasions
made manifest its most sincere desire
to pursue policy of intimate and
friendly cooperation with the govern
ment Of Mexico because of its con-
viction that the interests of the two
nations, as well as the interests of
inter- friendship and soli-
darity would thereby be advanced"
He requested that Mexico speedily
indicate" its willingness to accept one
of the two alternatives proposed.

NeW Painting
MethOdSeen

DALLAS. Tex, April % Q.N.S0 .
A new method for applying lac
quer finishes to automobiles, which
may cut the cost of painting motor
cars by more than one-third, was
studied today at the ninty-fifth
convention of the American Chem
ical Society.
The process, it was said, not only
can be used on automobiles but
on furniture, wood and similar
commodities.
Herbert L. Wampner and Charles
D. Begin, commercial research
chemists of Terre Haute, Ind,
describing the process in a paper
read to the convention. predicted
it ultimately would save consum-
erS millions of dollars.
The new method, the paper dis.
closed, involves use of heat in-
stead of diluents. One large auto
mobile manufacturer, it wa S
added, is already using the new
process, which requires only two
instead of the usual three coats
of paint.
Production of artificial wool
from cows milk, product which
may be as revolutionary in the
textile field as the development of
rayon, also was described before
