Thus, if the oil men fail to ap- ply either today or tomorrow, the properties involved will theoretical- 1y revert to the Mexican government. | However, there still lingers here the question whether the government will {in actual fact go as far as confisca- tion. If it does, after the first of the | year, seize specific pleces of property. | it will afford definite cases for such {action as the I'nited Etates govern- !ment may decide to take. If, on !the other hand, no properties are {taken from their present holders, the !situation apparently may continue |indefinitely as at present. | In other words there is no ab- [solute certainty as to when and how | the 1aw may be enforced. and ever: | thing hinges upon actual selzure and | |the character of the foreign protests resulting therefrom. The international aspect of the sit- uation revolves solely around foreign property rights acquired before 1917, |which is the date of the present | Mexican constitution vesting in the | nation the title to all subsoll mineral | deposits, including petroleum. | Many foreigners had acquired oil jer other land titles hefore 1917 un- lder the former |such titles. The United States gov- ernment is not concerned with |those titles acquired since 1917 but has Insisted that the Mexican gov- ernment cannot, by retroactive en- |actment, revoke titles lawfully ac- quired before 1917. The Mexican government has asserted that the laws are not retroactive or confiscatory. IThe foreign Interests involved think foreign companies | laws permitting | that the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, and the test—as- suming that the New York ofl’ headquarters do not accept the laws within the next two days and President Calles does not abandon his stand against extension of time —will be: Will the lands actually be con- | fiscated after January 1?7 If so, what steps will Washington take? If not will Washington mark time until there are confiscations? In his reply to the oil men, Pres- ident Calles reiterated that the laws did not destroy any legally ac- quired rights and asserted that his government has shown an ample liberal spirit in execuling them. He regretted that the “facilities” ac corded to the ofl companies by tho government had not met with re- ciprocity, and added: “It is not the oil industry’s own interest, but causes far distant, which are underlying motives for the attitude of rebellion assumecl by some of the oil companies in complying with the laws.” | There have been numerous ap- | plications for confirmation of con- |cessions of lands acquired after 1917, but the best information here is that none of the important forelgn companies has accepted the {provisions of the law with regard |to properties acquired before 1017 President Calle roply was ad |dressed to the following companies Ia Corona, Bl Aguila, La Atlan‘i |ca, Agwl, Huasteca, Los Chijoles |Cortez Aguada Petroleum company. {Humble Oil Refining company, Tn- {land Oil and Transport company.
