The Herald reproduces what pur- ports to be an order to the captain of the Mexican gun-runner “Superior,” in which it is stated, “due precau- tions should be taken in the trans- portation of this material (3,000 cases of arms and ammunition) to avoid arly encounter with the patrol ships of the United States navy.” Boosts Admiral Latimer. This shipment of war material was Successfully landed in Nicaragua, the Herald states, but later a large part of it was destroyed by Rear Admiral Julian L.

MEXICAN COURT UPHOLDS CLAIM OF OIL GROUPS Unsatisfactory to State Department Head WASHINGTON, Noy. 18. — De- cision of the Mexican supreme court knocking out the allegedly confisca- tory features of the Mexican petrol- eum law with respect to one Amer- ican oil company “opens the way to an immediate temporary adjustment and possibly to ultimate solution of eur controversy with Mexico over its petroleum law,” Secretary Kellogg indicated today in commenting on the court ruling. Kellogg Not Satisfied. While the decision applied only to the Mexican Petroleum»Company, an American firm, the state department is confident that the principle laid down will eventually be extended to all American oil firms with holdings in Mexico, Some disappointment was expressed by officials here, however, that the court did not dispose of the entire dispute in a single sweeping decision declaring the retroactive ar- ticles of the oil law unconstitutional. * * * ’ Oil Men Optimistic. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 18.—The su- preme court’s decision in the injune- tion suit brought by.the Mexican Pe- troleum Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, against the government, is viewed here as possibly the close of the 10- year controversy between American oil interests and the Mexican govern- ment, That, at least, was the inter- pretation placed upon the court’s rul- ing that the oil law is unconstitu- tional, by the representatives of American oil interests in Mexico City today. Complete satisfaction with the decision was manifested.

This first edition appeared on the streets early Sunday evening. Note that this filing date would mean that a document purporting to be written in 1926 is filed in 1921—that is that it was filed just FIVE YEARS BEFORE IT WAS WRITTEN. Hearst’s editors evidently say the inconsistency immediately after their “authentic document” was on the streets. In the nex t edition, coming ou t late at night (Sunday night) the date “July 2 1921” is cut out of the engraving, which appears without any filing date. But then Hearst’s engravers must have worked overtime, for the IN AL edition of the same Monday morning American appears with what purports to be another “exact” ph oto-engraving of the SAME DOCUMENT, but with the filing date CHANGED. —— 1920 And the above is the final work of art of forgery for war-making purposes. Note that the same filing date has been changed. “Jul 2 1921” has been changed to “Jul 2 1926.” Note that the last two figures—‘26” have been drawn in by hand and are not similar to the rubber-stamped figures. oo Tenth Anniversary Meetings Coming in Baltimore, Washington The following two meetings are still to be held, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Rus- sian Bolshevik Revolution.

Reverses Morones’ Act. The case decided yesterday involved an injunction brought by the Mexican Petroleum Company against the re- vocation by Luis N. Morones, minis- ter of industry, commerce and labor, of drilling permits on land acquired prior to the promulgation of the con- stitution of 1917. These permits were revoked because the company failed to comply with the oil law of 1926, requiring them to apply for confir- matory concessions before December 31, 1926. TAX FIGHT LOOMS. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—The new tax reduction bill to be considered by congress will be completed within a week, members of the House Ways and Means Committee predicted to- day.

The president’s advice was the di- rect climax of a campaign of pro- paganda, starting with the holding of | the Geneva Naval Arms Limitation Conference, which was meant to fail, and thus throw the onus of a naval race on foreign nations. “Big navy” forces hailed with de- light his statement that “we shall round out our navy with more sub- | marines and more cruisers, and priv- | | ate ownership should provide it with an auxiliary merchant marine of fast cargo boats.” “That is splendid,” said Rep. Brit- ten (R) of Illinois, a leader in the house fight for a stronger navy. “This assures adoption of a cruiser building program.” Coolidge in his speech reaffirmed his belief in the growing “prosperity” of the United States, and calmly over- looked all evidence of unemployment, low wages, and increasing length of work day, as well as decrease of car loadings and stock market panics. He said the protective tariff must be continued, and failed to say a word to clarify his “I do not choose to run” proclamation. Juan B.
