MEXICO CITY, Sept. 18.->Joseph A.
Phelan, oil examiner for the United
States Shipping Board, who conferred
j-estarday with Provisional President
de 1& HuerU, found that the President
recognized the necessity of the board
securing for itself a supply of fuel
for tha future and that he was willing
to cooperate, not only with the board,
bat also with the producers' selling
organization? in order to achieve the
desired results.
Phelan came to Mexico primarily to
investigate the supply of oil in this
country with a view to providing for
the Shipping Board's need at reason?
able rates, but incidentally he dis?
cussed the diplomatic features of the
question with the Mexican President.
Phelan to-day quoted President de
la Huerta as saying that he was pre?
pared to reach an amicable solution of
the oil controversy even if interpretive
legislation proved unsuccessful and it
was necessary to modify Article 27 of
the Constitution.
Phelan said the President expressed
willingness to confer with a represen?
tative of the American oil interests in
this city if they should request such a
conference. De la Huerta told Phelan
that Mexico intended to insist upon her
right to grant concession* in the Fed-.
eral son?, as this was national
property.
The President told Phelan that Mex?
ico had wonderful oil possibilities and
that in developing them the Mexican
government was willing to cooperate
''with the American government and
its citizens."
Phelan said that if the Mexican gov?
ernment carried out its program, as
outlined to him by de la Huerta, an
agreement could be reached with Ame??
lean producers that would be satis
factor to both sides.
Phelan estimated that Mexico could
produce 147,000,000 barrels of oil this
year. About half. o? this the United
States government would consume.
Phelan recalled that the Uunited States
last year consumed half of Mexico's oil
production and transported more than
half of the oil shipped out of Mexico.
