TO UNMASK U. S. OIL
MEN, SAYSMEXICO
Calles Charges 'Scandalous Ac
tion' Against Mexican Treas
ury and America as Woll
SEES NO PERIL AT TAMPICO
Ry fho Associated Press
Mexico City, July 8. Plutarco E.
Calles, Secretary of the Interior, told
Mexican newspapermen thnt tho Mexi
can Government wos "prepared to un
mask American oil producers," whom
he charged with "scandalous actions,"
not only against the Mexican treasury,
but against the United Slates as well.
Thin statement w?as published In three
Mexico City newspapers, and there was
much speculation ns to the meaning of
the statement.
Although the wording of the declar
ation varied In yesterday's newspapers,
each printed Interview attributed to
tne Hecrcturv the Bamo sentiments. He
wos said to have referred to alleged at
tempts by American oil companies to
dodge income taxes by dissolving the
parent corporations and forming nu
merous subsidiaries. Continuing, the
Secretary said, according to the vcr'
sion printed by EI Universal :
"Knowing the other systems used by
the oil companies to hide the true status
of their enterprises, the Mexican Gov
ernment, in defense nf ltd nwn Interestq.
has by means of special agents in the
United States started an active cam
paign to pull the mnBks from the faces
of these companies."
Calls Complaints Unjust
Secretary Callos is gatd to have re
ferred to the complaints of oil com
panies against Article 27 of the Mexi
oon Constitution, which nationalizes
petroleum deposits.
"What has the Mexican Government
done," ho asked, "to warrant these un
jtifct complaints that this article Is re
troactive and confiscatory?"
The Secretary is said to have asserted
that oil pipe lines should be made pub
lic utilities, oddlng. "when regulating
Article 27 we will deal with this sub
ject." In conclusion the Secretary mentioned
nlleged "monopolistic tendencies of
larcg oil companies, which have already
acquired pipe, lines, roads and ter
minals, causing hardships for smaller
companies."
Local representatives of oil com
panies reiterated thnt it was Impossible
for their concerns to operate except at
a loss under President Obregon's re
cent decree increasing taxes on oil ex
ported from the country.
No Danger In Tamplco Situation
Official reassurances were given to
day In statements to the newspapers
that the Tnmpico situation docs not

relations between the United States und
