~ 58 OIL MEN ASK DATA- FROM MEXICO CJTy| Stand Roueh Use Want to Know How Valid Confirmations of Titles Can Be Issued Under Law.: By the Associated JPrese. o NEW YORK, December 16.—The ‘Association of Producers of Petro- leum in Mexico made public & copy of a telegram sent Monday to Secretary of Industry Morones at Mexico City, in which it was asserted that the Mexican gov- ernment has not demonstrated to such of the companies as are for- eign corporations how any valld con- firmatory concession can be issued to them under the new petroleum law. Regret is expressed -by. the compa- nies signing the telegram “‘that noth- ing has occurred since last March to alter the conviction then expressed o you by the committee of executives that the law and regulations do not make provision for the adequate pres- ervation and the valid recognition of their preconstitutional rights.” Taking note of press dispatches at- tributed to the Mexican department of industry, commerce and labor, in which, the telegram says, the oil com- panfes were notified that the time for application for confirmatory con- cessions on _ precomstitutional titles will expire December 381, 1926, and that thereafter the penalty of for- feiture provided by law will apply, the companies make the following statement of their position: “Eight months have elapsed since the issuance of the regulations gov- erning the petroleum law. During that time formal applications have been made by some of the oil compa- nies for confirmation of certain of their rights evidenced by leases.of fixed durafion acquired before May 1; 1917. Despite the pendency Of some of these applications fpr many months, the industry is not yet officially in- formed as to the manner in which the government proposes to recognize and confirm such rights. ““The companies respectfully submit that they are justly entitled to an ample opportunity to consider the final form and the definitive terms of any proposed confirmatory conces- sions which the Government expects them to accept as constituting a valid recognition and affirmation of their sxl;lln( definite and legal leasehold ts. “As to the very extensive rights wcquired in fee ownership before May 1, 1917, the companies are not aware of any application for a confirmatory concession. Wants More Information. “In relation to both of the above- mentioned classes of pre-constitution- al rights we beg to point out that the Mexican government has not demon- strated to such of the companies as are foreign corporations how any valid confirmation concession, what- ever its form, can be issued to them under the law. “The companies regret to state that nothing has occurred since last March to alter the conviction then expressed to you by the committee of executives, that the law and regu- lations do not make provision for the adequate preservation and the valld m(nmofl‘h ition of the pre-constitutional ta." ‘The companies signing the were: Compania.
