Won't Arbitrate
Oil Dispute,
Say Mexicans
Formal Reply to
Hull Awaits
Curdenus' Return
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, April 6.-Omcial
sources indicated today that Mexico
would reject a suggestion by the
United States Government that the
2-year- -old controversy growing out
of the appropriation of American
owned oil properties be submitted to
arbitration.
1t was deemed unlikely, however,
that formal reply would be filed
until the proposal is examined by
President Lazaro Cardenas, who re-
peatedly has asserted that the gov
ernment would not agree to arbi-
tration. He is now touring the South.
Government officials met late last
night with Ramon Beteta, Under
secretary of Foreign Relations, to
consider the United States proposal,
but no statement was issued after
the meeting.
The Executive Committee Of the
Confederation of Mexican Workers,
the nations largest labor organiza-
ton, indicated its opposition to arbi-
tration in a telegram to President
Cardenas.
Meanwhile, the Treasury Depart
ment authorized the petroleum in
dustry to export crude oil to be re-
fined in United States plants and to
reimport the products free of GUS
toms duty. The order was issued to
relieve Mexican plants, apparently
unable to handle the output.

Social Security Board
Asks Illinois Action
On Politics Charge
State Official Is Reported
Using Pension Lists
To Solicit Votes

The Illinois State Department of
Public Welfare today was con-
fronted with a demand from the
Social Security Board to take action
in a case where evidence shows a
State official is soliciting political
support from benefciaries of Fed
eral-State old-age pensions.
The case is the first of the sort
to develop in the current campaign
The official under fire is Edward
j. Barrett, State Auditor of Public
Accounts, who is accused of sending
letters to pension recipients along
with their checks, asking votes for
himself and other Democratic can
didates in whom he is interested in
the forthcoming Illinois primaries.
Mr.. Barrett is lined up with the fac
ton opposed to the controlling ele-
ment of the party in Illinois.
In a telegram to A. L. Bowen
head Of the Department of Public
Welfare, the board said:
"The use of these lists (bene-
f1ciaries) for partisan political pur-
poses is indefensible. Public as
sistance lists, records and informa-
ton should be used only for pur-
poses directly connected with the
proper administration of the State
old-age-assistance program in order
that needy old people may not be
made the victims of exploitations
for partisan political activities.
"We are advised that the State
auditor performs a merely clerical
function of preparing and mailing
out checks and that his misuse
of these lists was without the knowl-
edge or consent of the State de-
partment of public welfare.
Nevertheless, it is essential that
the State of Illinois take action to
prevent political activity which i'm
pairs the proper and efficient opera
ton of the Federal-State program
of old-age assistance in Illinois"

Allied Notes Brinq

BY LOUIS p. LOCHNER,

Associated Press Foreign CORRESPONDENT.
BERLIN, April 6.-Another "de-
cisive week end for Europe" has
come, in the opinion of authorized
German sources today, with the de-
livery of French and British notes
to the Scandinavian countries.
On the answer to these notes or
the attitude taken by the Scandi-
navian powers with reference to
these notes may depend reaching
further developments, they said.
The German government, these
sources said, is not yet in possession
of concrete information concerning
the allied representations.
Official circles, however, were said
to view with considerable interest
that both the Swedish and Nor
wegian press were trying to minimize
the importance of the communica-
tions by speaking of them merely
as information containing no severe
threat"
Apparent unanimity in Scandi-
navian press comment was taken
as a sign of possible hints from
above.
Seen through German eyes, the
allied notes constituted a new at
tempt to interfere with Scandi-
navian policies.
Authorized sources said the west
ern powers had indicated repeatedly
of late that they wanted the con-
flict widened and said Scandinavia
is one important area to which
they might wish to extend it.
AS evidence of the alleged ag-
gressive intentions of the western
powers, Germans cited a recent
speech of French Blockade Minister
Georges Monnet, which authorized
sources interpreted as implying that
the western powers feel they are
justified in taking any means on

LONDON, April 6.-Air traffic
with Germany, given sharp impetus
by the war, was designated today as
the next target of the British French
blockade
This type of transport has grown
so important, informed sources said,
the Ronald Cross, British Minister
of Economic Warfare, and Georges
Monnet, French Minister Of Block
ade, conferred on creation of an air
contraband system.
NJ Monnet and Mr.. Cross today
concluded in complete agreement
review of allied efforts to increase
the severity of the economic war on
Germany.
A communique stated "the discus
sions showed complete agree
ment and common determination of
the two governments to develop
allied cooperation in all spheres OF
economic warfare
Details Withheld.
Details of the air holes in the
blockade and the strategy to stop
them were withheld The problem
is admittedly difficult.
One British source reported that
transit dues on traffic to Germany
were averaging nearly $25 900 day
at one unidentified international air
station.
In this connection, it was noted
that K. L. NJ, the Royal Dutch
Airlines, last Tuesday inaugurated
twice-weekly service between Am
sterdam and Lisbon, connecting
with the n-American Airways
service to the United States. The
Dutch planes, carrying no passen-
gers, fly over water all the way,
avoiding British and French soil.
Skipping of the Bermuda stop on
Pan-American's trans Atlantic flights
has halted British seizure of mails
at that point.

Is resumed daily mail and express
service between Berlin and Amster-
dam. No passengers are being car

Attempt to Use Diplomacy.
British sources said that airlines
naturally subject to the closest
scrutiny were those linking Ger
many's neutral neighbors with
sources of supply. No neutrals
were named, however.
Without disclosing possible aerial
blockade methods, informed quar-
ters said the allies were attempting
to use diplomatic rather than
strong-arm measures to persuade
neutrals to cut off German sup
plies.
M. Monnet commented after his
first days conference with Mr.. Cross
here yesterday:
1--WE are very satisfied with the
result of the measures taken up
to the present and the allies are
going to take new measures to choke
Germany more and more"

Details of Proposal
Withheld by Hull ,

The State Department is making
a fresh effort to settle the 2-year-
old dispute precipitated by the Mexi-
can appropriation Of American
owned oil properties.
Secretary Hull revealed yesterday
that he had transmitted a note to
the Mexican government, proposing
that the issue be settled by arbitra-
ton. Details of the proposal were
withheld.
What reception the overture would
get was not clear in Mexico City
On the one hand, informed sources
there stated that Mexico would not
abandon her oft-repeated conten-
ton that her right of appropriation
could not be arbitrated. A govern
ment spokesman. however, said that
many questions other than the
right to appropriate might lend
themselves" to Mr.. Hull's proposal.
The arbitration note was sent at q
time when breakdown appeared
inevitable in the direct negotiations
which the American oil companies
have been conducting with the
Mexican government.
It was understood to reaffirm the
traditional attitude of the United
States, which already has been cited
in previous notes to Mexico on the
subject of the appropriation OF
American-owned agrarian lands.
Insists on Compensation.
"The United States" this Govern
ment has stated, cannot admit that
a foreign government may take the
property of American nationals in
disregard of the universally recog-
nized rule of compensation under in
ternational law, or admit that the
rule of compensation can be nulli-
fled by any country through its own
local legislation"
The compensation, the State De-
partment holds, should be prompt
and adequate"
Mexico rejected an arbitration
proposal in the agrarian land cases,
but ultimately suggested creation of
a two-man commission, with one
member from each country, to pass
on the claims of the appropriated
