RULING ON TAXES ASKED Americans in Southern Country Ask to Whom Current Levies Shall Be Paid. WASHINGTON; May 19. Caution In extending recognition or support to any Mexican faction instrumental - in the overthrow of Caxranza was urged upon the state department today by representatives of various industrial groups having interests in Mexico, and by former . diplomats. : Definite assurances of the Mexican party now in power as to its attitude toward foreigners and foreign investments Ehould be first obtained, !t was held. Among those who conferred with Secretary Colby on the Mexican situa tion were former Ambassador Henry lane Wilson, former Charge d' Affaires Nelson O'Shaughnessy, E. U. IDoneny. representing Tampico oil Industries; Harold Walker of the Mexican Petroleum company: Cornelius Kelly, Anaconda Copper company; William Loeb Jr., American Smelting and de fining company: George Carnahan and Frederick. Watrous, representing various agricultural enterprises and Burton Wilson, representing banking interests. State department officials also were requested to advise American in terests as to whom in Mexico they should pay current taxes. Hie ques tions at issue are: of more moment concern to the oil producers than to the mining men, or other operators in Mexico. It was explained that until some more definite ruling is received exports of oil or mine pro ducts may be asked to pay their taxes either to the authorities actually in control at the ports or to the de facto authorities in the national capital. The oil interests, represented by Mr. Dohcrty, are confronted with an im mediate decision regarding the pay ment of more than $2,000,000 in taxes. For several years practically all oil producers in the Tampico region have paid tribute' to Manual Palaez, but federal taxes have been paid in Mex ico City as a matter of convenience. The law and customs of Mexico pro vide that they shall be paid at the federal tax office at Tampico. Palaez has asserted his whole hearted support of the "movement of Generals Obregon and Gonzales." but in the absence of a better definition of authority in Mexico, the oil pro ducers have looked to their own gov ernment for guidance. No direct advice was given the del egation by the secretary of state, but he is understod to have told his call ers the question would be given con sideration. In the meantime, however. Dr. Alvaro Torre Diaz, the revolu tionary agent here, issued a statement giving a recent ruling of Salvador Al varado. provisional treasurer of the provisional government, regarding payment of taxes. The statement urged taxpayers to make their pay ments "to the authorities legally au thorized to receive them and give the necessary receipts, inasmuch as pay ments made to unauthorized officials, whether military or civil, would not be deemed legal by the government, and would necessitate a separate pay ment."
