"Thu oil business In Mexico has
almost romo to a standstill no far as

owing to the iNxiiani e of varloua de
crees by thu pri'Kldcrit of the repub

government attempt! to take away
from the owner of the soil which

foreigners, the rights to all pe

land, which attempt by the Mexican
givernmcnt to obtain title to the pe
troleum amounts to a virtual con
fiscation of property rights of the
land owners and lea.se holders In
Mexico unions tlicy should subscribe
to various onerous regulations and
prescriptions made by the Mexlunn
government which prescriptions fix
a title fee to be paid by the land
owners and lessees, the amount of
royalty to be paid to the government
and requires a well to be drilled up
on each lease and also makes other
provisions In regard to the opera
tions of said oil land.
The title to the various lands In
the oil district In Mexico has been
hehi tiv various Mexican and foreign
owners fur generations, and at no
tlm. until the Mexican government
during Curranza's administration ex.
ectited a new constitution in the
year 1917, has aa attempt been
made to divest the owners of their
property rights. Muring the davs of

1'orfiilo laz while president yf the
republic of Mexico. mining Caws
were passed- during the years tt
1SS. 1!)0S and l'JIft by wiilch the
republic of Mexico asserted its
rights to gold, silver and other prec
ious metals designating each and
cVi ry metal claimed by tho govern
ment specifically, and aJso in each
Inntance specifically and definitely
stating that nil petroleum products,
coal and nalt Is and shall remain the
property of owners of the surface
land; and these laws have never
been changed nor has the peaceful
possession of the owners of such
rights been even controverted until
the present laws have been enacted
in Mexico.
"Mi. Csrranza, the present presi
dent of the republic or Mexico, in
f U rt her.l ncc nf certntn ev t pa nrrt i nn rv
faculties conferred upon him by the
.Mexican congress In the matters or
finance only on February 19 of the
present year, issued a decree at
tempting to place a tax upon oil and
gas leases and also the owners of oil
lands providing for the payment of a
tax equal to certain percentages of
the rental also providing for one half
of tho existing royalty to bo turned
over to the government of Mexico
and providing for the payment of a
title for and making various regula
tions as to the drilling of wells, etc:.
Also providing In said decree that If
vacuous lease holders who have held
leases from citizens of tho republic
of Mexico who In turn have been In
peaceful possession of their lands for
generations, did not manifest their
leases and lands within "a certain
period specified, that said oil leases
and lands would bo declared vacant
and free; that Is to say, that If the!
various oil-lessees did not within the
time specified subscribe To the terms
of the government, paying them the
fee requested for a necessary title,
etc., the Mexican government would
confiscate their land. On .July 31,
of the present year. August 12. and
at other dates,s.1be president of the
republic of Mexico has Issued various
other decrees affecting tfie oil bus
iness, all of which carry out the same
general idea of compelling either the
land owner or lessee complying with
the prescriptions and regulations of
the government, or losing their
lights.
"The vnrloug oil companies oper
ating in Mexico have Instituted am
paro (appeal) proceedings In the
Mexican courts, aklng for relief In
the premises and that the various de-c-ees
of Mr. ("arranza and also article
27 of the constitution of Mexico of
1917 be declared void and unconsti
tutional. One of these cases, that of
tho International Petroleum com
pany, has already been decided by
the supreme court of Mexico by a,
vote of fi to 4 In favor of the presi
dent of the republic of Mexico. My
understanding Is that this decision Is
only upon one phase of the contro
versy and there yet remains to be de
termined whether petroleum rights
belong to the owners of the soil as
conceded by the various administra
tions of the republic of Mexico, pr
eceding the administration of Mr.
Carranza, or belong to the republic
of Mexico as the present president of
the republic isiat'empting to decree."
If the present Mexican government
cou'.d succeed in enforcing these
new oil decrees it would result in an
unwarranted confiscation of oil
properties of American. English,
French, Belgian and Holland Inter
ests, aggregating several hundred
million dollars, and have an Indirect
effect towards ruining tho city of
Tampico, wHlch st present is oil
headquarters of Mexico and gives
promise of being the greatest seaport
metropelis of the republic of Mexico.
