S150, ,000, 900 Payment
is Reported in Plan

MEXICO CITY, Feb. Is (P).-Re-
ports circulated in informed quarters
tonight that foreign oil companies
would offer Mexico $50, 900 900 for a
5O-year privilege of operating the
petroleum industry Mexico appro-
priated last March 18.
Mexico would stand pat on its pre-
vlously announced policy of refusing
to surrender ownership of the indus
try in forthcoming negotiations, it
was said.
While Mexico needs cash and
doubtless would find the $50, 1000 900
either in cash or credit-very use
full, informed sources said the gov
ernment would not accept any propo-
sltion except on guaranteeing its
continued management and posses
sion Of the properties.
The $l50,00o,00 proposal, it was
understood, would hinge on execu-
ton of treaty between Mexico and
the United States binding both par
ties to carry out the contract. After
SO years the properties would re-
vert to Mexico.
AS reported, the plan would pro-
vide that Mexico retain the title it
now claims to oil below the earth's
surface, but the oil companies would
be given free hand in development.
There would be certain guarantees
against excessive taxes and labor and
other operating troubles.

mittee, headed by L. H. Parker. for

ROBERT V. Fleming, president of
Riggs National Bank and chairman
OF the Municipal Finance Com
mlttee OF the trade board, said the
subcommittee already had discov-
cred number of provisions that
appear to be unsatisfactory. He
cited as an illustration a proyi-
sion in the income tax section al
lowing deductions not in excess of
10 per cent of the total net income

Ing the contributions are made to
corporations, associations or insti-

Few of the organizations and in
stltutions receiving charitable con-
tributions or gifts, it was pointed
out, are incorporated or organized
under District laws. One of these,
it was explained, is the American
Red Cross. Hence, it will be urged
that this provision be revised to
permit deductions for contributions
to associations and institutions
maintaining activities In the Dis
trict for exclusive public purposes.

How the administrations deter
mination to restore business con-
fidence-as expressed in Des Moines
Friday night by Secretary Of Com
merce Hopkins-is to be imple-
mented was the immediate question
raised by members of Congress yes
terday.
Generally speaking. the Hopkins
speech putting emphasis on recov-
cry was well received on Capitol Hill
However, it was agreed something
more than words would be required
to restore business confidence. Par
ticularly was this the view taken by
critics of the New Deal, both Re-
publican and Democratic.
Already, it was learned. steps are
being considered to amend Federal
taxes which tend to freeze the
necessary flow of capital" into in
dustry. Chairman Harrison of the
Senate Finance Committee was in
conference Friday afternoon with
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau and Undersecretary Hanes
Tax legislation must originate in
the House. however, and the Gov
ernment officials are consulting also
with members of the House Ways
and Means Committee.
General Tax Rise Opposed.
In his Des Moines speech, Secre-
tary Hopkins agreed with President
Roosevelt and Secretary Morgen-
thau that there should be no gen.
eral rise in Federal taxes this year
He added: Il believe any taxes which
tend to freeze the necessary flow
of capital should be amended. If
necessary such taxes can be replaced
by increasing other taxes which do
not have the same deterring effect.
The details of any such tax
amendments have not yet been an
nounced. The theory advanced,
however, is in line with the position
taken last year by Senator Harrison
and a majority of Congress, which
put through tax amendments relat-
ing to the undistributed profits tax
and the capital gains tax, both hav-
ing a direct effect on business. The
President at that time permitted
the bill to become law without his
signature, because he did not ap-
prove.
Senator Harrison, speaking Of Mr..
Hopkins address, said yesterday:
1T is fine chart, and I hope
those who man the boat will not
only take cognizance, but will steer
in accordance with the chart in the
voyages of the immediate future" /"
Spenders Seek More Leeway.
Secretary Hopkins defense Of the
administrations spending program
struck a sour note with those men,
bers of Congress who believe there
should be rigid economy in Govern
ment spending. Already, it has been
learned, the administration Is
sounding out leaders in Congress re-
garding legislation to increase the
legal limit of the public debt, now
fixed at $45, ,000, 900 900. In another
year, the debt threatens. to come
very close to this limit.
In some quarters, 1t is suggested
that Mr.. Roosevelt may ask to have
the limit raised considerably-even
to $4,000, ,000, 900, the total which
the President has said some bankers
have advised him the debt could be
reached without danger to the
country.
Those members of Congress who
are determined to curtail Govern
ment expenditures will oppose vio-
lently any proposal to extend the
debt limit. The whole matter may
be allowed to go over until next
year, it was said. Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan said
yesterday he would vote asainst IN

BY the Associated Press
SHANGHAI, Feb. 25.-The gov
erning body of Shanghai's interna-
tional settlement tonight rejected
Japanese program for suppression
of terrorism in the settlement and
simultaneously redoubled its own
efforts to maintain order.
The japanese program. embodied
in note to the settlements mu-
nicipal council last Wednesday, was
interpreted by foreign authorities as
an attempt to extend armed Japan
ese rule over the settlement. 1t had
caused rumors Japan was ready to
move army units into the settle
ment ostensibly to suppress terror
ism.
Polite hut Emnhatic Renlv
Tonight the council delivered to
Yoshiaki Miura, Japanese consul
general, a reply described by high
authority as polite but emphatic
rejection of the Japanese request"
that the council "accede to adop-
ton of effective measures" to COM
bat terrorism.
(The council normally has two
American, five British, five Chinese
and two Japanese members. Its
chairman is an American, Cornell
S. FranklinD
1t was understood that the coun-
Gil in rejecting the Japanese pro-
posals pointed out that acceptance
would be tantamount to placing
the policing powers of the settle
ment in japanese hands.
The council was reported to have
pointed out that according to the
settlements land resulations-the
areas charter" framed in agree
ment with the Chinese government
it could not give up its own polio
ing power even if it 50 desired. The
foreign consular body supervises
election of the council under pow-
ers given by this charter"
With delivery of the reply the
council heightened anti-terrorist
activities. United States marines
and the French concession defense
forces Joined the move, turning
the entire foreign area of Shanghai,
composed of the settlement and the
French concession, into an active
armed camp.
Marines Patrol Streets.
The American marines .patroled
the streets and trucks with armed
marines were active throughout the
American sector.
1t was learned on good authority
that the Japanese had virtually de-
manded the privilege of sending
their soldiers and other armed
forces into any part of the settle
ment whenever they desired for
independent searching and arrest
OF alleged terrorists.
The Japanese note had given rise
to rumors that if the council re-
Jected it the Japanese might send
army units into that part Of the
settlement still under full control
Of the council.

A proposed formula for settlement
of the controversy arising from
Mexico seizure of American -ownec
oil lands has been drafted, informed
persons said yesterday, and will be
discussed with the Mexican govern
ment this week in Mexico City.
The basis of the proposal was
said to be for the Mexican govern
ment to retain title to the proper
ties, but make long term contract
for their operation by the oil COM
panies formerly owning them.
The proposed solution was drafted
by the oil companies and the nego-
tiations will be carried on by their
representatives. 1t was understood
however, that officials of this Gov
ernment have been consulted.
One informant said the plan had
received study by President Roose-
welt, who recently conferred with
Mexican Ambassador Francisco Cas-
tillo Najera.
This Government has taken the
attitude it was up to the companies
to take the initiative in the matter.
Officials have not minimized, how
ever. the State Department. hope
for an early and satisfactory settle
ment.
In proposing the settlement. tks
companies were reported to be pre-
pared to ask for definite asstH-
ances Of what their taxes would be
of satisfactory labor conditions dur.
ing the term of the contract and of
reimbursement for losses sustained
because of the seizue last March.
Value Variously Estimated.
The formula was understood te
have the support of the II United
States oil firms affected by the ex-
preparation decree and of the Brit
ish and Dutch companies whose
properties also were taken over by
the Mexican government.
The value of the properties has beer
variously estimated, some placing the
total as high as $3.50 900, 900 and the
worth of American properties alone al
SITS 100000 The companies have
given out no valuation figures. The
Mexican industrial census of 1885
estimated the investment in the
properties at 100000, 900.
Donald R. Richberg, attorney for
the Standard Oil interests, and Pat
rick J. Hurley. attorney for the Sim
clair and other independent oil
companies in Mexico, are expected
to meet in Mexico City about March

negotiations. n

With the Warning jury scandal

District may be raised at the third
income tax trial of the gambling
partnership, it was learned yester-
day.
The defense may ask chance of
venue on the ground that it would
prove impossible to obtain an i'm
partial jury because of the wide
publicity given the plot to fix jurors,
for which five men were sent to
prison Friday.
Attorneys who have practiced here
for many years could not recall from
personal knowledge or from the
lawbooks a case in which such a
motion was made in the Federal
jurisdiction of Washington.
