INVESTMENTS IN
MEXICO WATCHED
VERY CAREFULLY
WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. — The
status of American investments in
Mexico is an object of concern to
(he United States. Future eommer
clal relations, not only with Mexico,
but with the whole of Latin America,
may be affected by the outcome of
the dispute over the possession of
land and mineral rights in the Tam
pico oil district, says a review of the
oil situation just issued by the De
partment of Commerce.
The Government, as well as oil
interests, is watching carefully the
progress of suits instituted in the
Mexican courts by the American,
! British, French and Dutch oil com
panies, for relief from the program
of the Carranza, government, arising
front a provision of the Mexican con
stitution of 1917 which attempts to
i vest in the nation only the right to
minerals and oils under the soil of
the republic.
