WASHINGTON. .Inn. 20. Hitter resent
ment throughout nil Moxlco Is certain to
follow Secretary l.ahslng'a objection lo cer
tain parts of tho now Mexican Constltu-
That resentment wns very plain In
Mexican circles hero today. The action of
tho Secretary In forwarding his objections
direct lo First Chief r'arrnmsa. was char
acterized as "unwarranted Inteifercnco In
the. internal nlTalrs of n sovereign State."
It wns accepted generally that tho future
relations between tlit two Governments are.
certain to bo materially affected.
The American protest deals directly In
opposition to the following prnlslotis of
the new Mexican Constitution adopted at
the (Juerelnrn cnneniron Just held:
The article .estlng Mexico's executive.
vvlllt power In expropriate, property
without judlrJal recourse.
The nrtlcl providing thnt civil com
tnerclnl cnmpanlcM shall not own prop
ortion of n gienter area than Is neces
snry to accomplish tho purposes for
which they are formed nnd veSlltiK In
the executive lower to designate such
nren.
The nrllclo providing there shall he
no exemption ft oti taxation.
The article stipulating that no special
concesslnns shall bo given exploiters of
oil lands and allowing companies now
operating only one year In which to
Ki'i'tire new concessions lo protect rights
nlteady ncuulrcd.
The nrllclo giving to the executive
power tn expel any one nt will.
All of the articles excepting the Inst are
helil by the fulled States State Depart
ment to be eoiillseatnry and lending toward
nationalism of ptoporty at the expense of
Innocent foreign bidders. The expulsion
clause Is said lo ho in direct opposition to
the usual practices of nations.
Tlie protests ns made by Secretary I.ans
Jng followed muuerniis piotests received
'from Americans that their rights 'would he
Infringed and thoir property conllscnted un
der the new crmstltutlnn. In addition, the
Spanish and Crltlsh Ihuhassies had the
department direct Imiulrlea lo t'.irrnnza
legaidlug what was termed "conllscatiton"
In cufoiciug loans from banks contiolled
by lliltlsh and Spanish subjects In .Mexico
City.
Ofllclals here declared they expected the
communication of Secretary Lansing would
aiousu deep resentment In Mexico Cltj. hut
they explnlncd that It had been necessary
Inasmuch an this (iovcrnment recognized
Carranza only on a promise that he would
lespcet tho rights of foielgncrs. tn any
event, It was pointed out, tho Cnrrilnza
Government still has to dcmonstinte that
It is able to dominate tho situation now that
'Villa again Is a very material factor In
northern Mexico. It Carranza decides lo
defy thin Government It Is expected that
measures will be taken to show hltn that he
and tho d. facto Government will be hold
d.rectly responsible for losses to foreigners
rliould he Anally m.inago to get military
control of tho couiitr.
