MEXICAN OIL DISPUTE
COURT UPHOLDS SEIZURE FURTHER E3CPROPRIATION REPORTED NEW YORK, Aug. 28. (Received Aug. 28, at 10 p.m.) A message from Mexico City states that the Supreme Court in a lest case ruled against the oil companies regarding the Government’s seizure of the petroleum properties. This is the second adverse finding by the court against the companies’ demands for the return of the properties. It is believed to indicate that the seizure was constitutional and that this decision will not be reversed. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says the State Department declined to comment on the reports to-day that further American-owned land in Mexico had been expropriated, the value being 25,000,000 dollars. Informed observers are of the opinion that the new campaign must of itself be considered as a reply to Mr Cordell Hull’s Note, if not deliberate provocation, Mexico feeling that she can pursue her expropriation programme without fear of any worse. consequence than a reprimand.
