UNDERWRITING companies. ,
The government has considered
several plans, among them grant
;nn contracts for oil. However,
Nothing has been decided at the
present, it was said. ,
President Lazaro CardenaS ana
Secretary Of State Cordcil Hull
Yesterday exchanged diplomatic
bouquets concerning the OIL con-
troversy between the two coun-
tries. without materially affecting
the status Of the quarrel.
In effect, President Card"naS
s,id Mexico would honor its obi
cations to pay for the oil and
other properties appropriated by
his government. Huh, replying,
said that on this basis "a rapid,
satisfactory and equitable solution
Of the pending problem between
the two countries can be found,
Cardcnas gave no hint Of how
or when the Mexican government
would make payment, and Secrc-
tarv Hull carefully refraincd from
raising either question. Both en-
nhasizcd the friendship and esteem
existing between the governments
and peoples Of the two countries.
The exchange consisted Of a
note from President CardenaS in
reply to IIull's public statement
Of Wednesday on the oil situation,
and a formal statement by Hull
acknowledging the Cardenas note.
Uull's statement was drafted alter
he had conferred with President
Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga.
Shortly before the state depart
mcnt made public the text OF the
notes President Roosevelt said at
a press conference at Warm
Springs that negotiations over the
appropriation action were pro

State department officials en-
phasized the extreme friendllneSS
Of the tone Of the Cardenas note
and it seemed evident that the eX-
change reflected the determlna-
ton of the two governments not
to permit the controversy to de-
vclop into bitterness.
President Cardenas said that his
government considers the attitude
adopted by the United States CON
corning appropriation "as reaffirm-
ING once more the sovereignty OF
the peoples Of this continent
which the statesman of the most
powerful country in America, his
