MEXICO’S RIGHTS
RULING OF SUPREME COURT FINDING AGAINST AMERICAN COMPANIES United Press Association—By Electric Totpurnnh nnnvrtKb* (Received August 28, 7.30 p.m.) MEXICO CITY, August 27. The Supreme Court, in a test case, ruled against the oil companies regarding the Government’s seizure of petroleum properties. This is the second adverse finding by the court against the companies demands the return of the properties, and is believed to indicate that the constitutionality of the seizure will not be able to 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 to the value of 25,000,000 dollars. Informed observers are of opinion that the new campaign must itself be considered as a reply to Mr Cordell Hull’s note, if not a deliberate provocation, Mexico feeling that she can pursue her expropriation programme, without fear of any worse consequence than a reprimand.
