OIL If N FIGHT
: CARRANZA PLAN
! TO TAKE LANDS
j MEXICO CITY—A sharp con
flict is being- waged in the Mexican
senate over the nationalization of
oil lands as provided in the decrees
of President Carranza which were
intended to put into effect Article
27 of the Mexican constitution.
These decrees have been the object
of bitter attack by the foreign oil
interests, which declare that both
they and Article 27 of the constitu
tion would be confiscatory. Disap
pointed over the inactivity of the
chamber of deputies, which has de
layed action on the nationalization
question, the senate brought up a
new oil initiative based on that of
the president, but differing from it
iin the vita! point that it should not
be retroactive. If adopted, this law'
would not nationalize oil lands to
which the title was perfected before
the present constitution became op
erative, which was on May 21, 1917.
! Debate on this measure, how
: ever, soon became complicated as
a result of attempts to include in
it a complete redrafting of the 27th
article. In the senate discussions.
Luis Cabrera, secretary of the trea
! sury, and Leon Salinas, sub-secre
tary of industry and commerce, have
presented the government's side in
support of nationalization.
Secretary Cabrera also is quoted
in newspapers as asserting that the
senate is only wasting time in dis
cussing the oil question, since the oil
interests would not be satisfied with
the senate's decision.
The foreign oil companies have
brought suits in the Mexican courts
to prevent the presidential decrees
from taking effect, and these have
been appealed to the supreme court.
Secretary Cabrera has opposed ac
tion until the executive department
of the Mexican government and rep
resentatives of the oil interests can
reach an understanding. What, if
any, progress has been made toward
reaching such an agreement is un
known.

FATE OF BERLIN
now in mm
i ....
BERLIN.—Under the caption of
"The Murder of Berlin,” the Boer
ben Beitung, one of the ablest Ger
man newspapers, says the fate of
the city is in the balance and that
it is, perhaps, too late to save it
from becoming a city of the second
class in every respect, with the re
moval of the capital and the activ
ity in a business and political sense
to some Rhineland city. It is a
theory that has been gaining ground
lately and causing Berlin to lose
sleep.
‘‘One day,” the financial paper
adds, “there will be a fearful awak
ening if the problem that confronts
us is not recognized and solved at
the twelfth hour. The problem is
to save Berlin from destruction.”
The paper then cites the January
riots by the Spartacists, from the
wounds of which Berlin has never
recovered. Then came ihe March
disorders, followed by tns July
Berlin into a chaotic state. The
transportation strike, which threw
strikes then ensued one after an
other in an endless succession. The
uncertainty of the economic situa
tion led to almost a boycotting of
Berlin as the chief work canter of
Germany, for industry had to be
sure of quiet and order in its search
for labor, and Berlin daily was the
opposite.
Despite the huge expense, one in
dustry after another left Berlin for
quieter, steadier fields. Now the
winter months have come, already
full of threats of uprisings and
strikes.
Merchants, politicians and indus
trial leaders have predicted that
the transfer of the assembly or
reichstag would inflict a severe blow
upon Berlin, especially if it should
lead to the choice of another capi
tal.
The label, “imperial capital," and
its enormous labor possibilities have
been Berlin’s chief claims to su
periority. It has been the indus
trial heart of the empire. Yet, say
manufacturers, labor is now sys
tematically laming industry and de
stroying it.

BUCHAREST, Rumania. — When
the American Red Cross quits the
Balkans, when its work there is
completed, the people are not to be
left entirely alone. This was the
promise made to the Balkan people
by Colonel Robert E. Olds, commis
sioner for Europe of the American
Red Cross, at the inauguration here
of the Red Cross’ program of medi
cal and reconstruction work which
is to follow the work of emergency
relief now drawing to a close.
“The great work done in the Bal
kans," said Colonel Olds, “in the
main is over. The work of feeding
and clothing the helpless peoples
of the Near East is fast drawing
to a close. But we shall not leave
these nations without substantia
legacies and permanent reminder;
of the work already done here.
“Hundreds of Red Cross women
and men have left the Balkans foi
their homes in the States, but smal'
groups will remain to continue theii
work. In Serbia, Bosnia, Herzego
vina, Albania, Montenegro. Greece
and Rumania, children’s hospitals
district nursing services, infant wel
fare work, nurses’ training schools
the reconstruction of hospitals and
the medical fight against tubercu
losis, typhus, smallpox, and othei
too prevalent diseases, will be car
ried on.
“In all this work, native womer
will be trained to take up the wort
when Red Cross workers leave si>
months or a year from now. Tht
emergency relief work in the Bai
kans is ended, but the constructive
work will still go on.”

success in England and establishing
herself as a favorite in musical re

sailing for home October 18 on the
