AMERICA REBUFFED
ATTITUDE OF MEXICO EXPROPRIATED LANDS REJECTION OF DEMANDS WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 The Mexican Government's Note to the United States in reply to the American demand for arbitration or payment for the expropriated farm lands said, in effect, that the demands were illegal, not plausible and illogical and reiterated that Mexico intends to continue the policy of expropriation regardless of domestic or international repercussions. Mexico made a single concession, namely, the acceptance of Mr. Cordell Hull's proposal for a bilateral com-
mission to determine the value of the lands expropriated and to fix the terms of payment, but with the reservation that Mexico will pay when and if she can. This reservation, in effect, has rebuffed every proposal made by the United States. The relations between the United States and Mexico are near breaking point, as the result of the Note, says the United Press. Whether the next step will involve the recall of the Ambassador, Mr. Daniels, cannot be learned, but it is regarded as extremely possible.
