SETTLEMENT OF

American oil companies and the
Mexican government over eX-
preparation of the formers prop
perty is almost settled. The Dip
lomatic Donald Richberg. coun-
sci for the American interests.
has apparently worked out
satisfactory scheme in quiet deal
ings with President Gardenas.
MeSico cannot afford TO re-
pudiate its program of taking
over oil lands The American
companies cannot asquicsce in
a move which deprives them of
their properties without compen-
sation. for the effect of such
surrender would be disastrous in
other portions Of the world-es-
pecially South America
Therefore a face-saving ar
rsncement is necessary.
Mexico will eventually lease
the lands under a long-term and
lucrative contract that will en-
able the oil companies to pay
out. Cardenss will get the lands
and the American companies Will
get the money.
