Reading: “Bridge of The Gods”
Mexico City.—A temporary truce in
the oil laws controversy seemed as­
sured after a conference between Sec­
retary of Industry Morones and at-
torneys for the petroleum companies
While official comment was with­
held, authoritative sources close to the
oil group said the controversy has
been temporarily sidetracked and dan­
ger of further dispute removed pend­
ing settlement by the supreme court.
It was understood that under, the
accord reached at the conference the
oil companies involved In the dispute
have been assured that their demands
will tg? temporarily granted “for all
practical purposes” of operation.
It was said injunctions would be
granted the oil companies by the gov­
ernment which will permit the com­
panies to operate without interference
under the disputed laws..
Whether such action would settle
th© issues advanced by the United
States—namely, that the land and pe­
troleum laws of January 1 are both
confiscatory and retroactive—cannot
be determined at present. It was said

Basis: of Attitude Protection
of Lives and Property s
of Americans.
Washington, D. C. — While senate
and house were debating on the Mex­
ican-Nicaraguan Imbroglio, the White
House took occasion to again outline
the attitude of the administration to­
ward Mexico’s land and oil regula­
tions.
It was explained that President
Coolidge regards the controversy be­
tween the United States and Mexico
over oil and land laws as boiled down
to the single question:
“Shall the property of American
citisens in Mexico be confiscated, or
taken without bein^ paid tor?’’
Coolidge feels that every step taken
by his direction In regard to the new
Mexican laws has been taken with
that in mind, and for the purpose of
preventing confiscation.
So far as Nicaragua is concerned
the president feels that the Monroe
Doctrine has a specific place in con-
nection with the ^administration's
policy, In view of the fact that other
powers do not send forces is to Cen-
tral or South America countries to
protect their own nationals and their
Interests, It is their custom to notify
the United States when they regard
their nationals as In jeopardy, in order
that the Washington government may
^irst determine, in the light of the
Monroe Doctrine, what action is cares
to take. >
In the case of Nicaragua, two Euro­
pean countries Informed the Washing­
ton government of fears entertained
for their nationals In Nicaragua and
the president took the view that this
aspect of the question could not be
disregarded.
MERGER OF NORTHERN
RAILROADS PROPOSED
SL Paul, Minn.—Definita- plans for
the merger of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific railways may be
ready for presentation to the Inter­
state commerce commission within 90
days.
This Information was given by
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern, who said details of the plan
are being worked out now In frequent
conferences of the rail officials;
Through ownership of 97 per cent
of the stock of the Chicago, Burling­
ton A Quincy railroad, tb^se roads
also would control operation of that
line, effecting a system totaling 28,000
miles.
If the merger ia apprqted by the
interstate commerce commission the
consolidated system wilt have a capi­
talisation of more than 1850,000,000
and a combined valuation of around
|1. W0,000,000.
Work on the proposed merger plan
is progressing, Mr. Budd said, but any
announcement that it Is complete “is
premature and inaccurate.**
When the plan is perfected, it is
the intention of the roads to make
its details known to officials In states
through which the three lines operate,
before seeking approval of the federal
commission.

OLDER GIRLS CONFERENCE
Washington, D. C.—The house agri­
culture committee approved the Mc­
Nary-Haugen farm relief bill by a vote
of 13 to 8.
The vote was taken after a motion
to substitute the Curtis-Crisp bill fail­
ed.
to 5. The Curtis-Crisp bill re­
ceived 10 votes against 11 for the Mo '
Nary-Haugen bill.
The committee’s, action ended a
hard three day fight over the pro­
posal for an equalization fee levied
on basic crops to control crop sur­
pluses. This principle is Included in
the McNary-Haugen bill.
Throughout the long struggle over -
farm relfef» the ‘'equalization fee has
been the principal point of divergence.
Among those who favor the fee are
southern democrats who do not, how­
ever, want It imposed upon edtton ini
mediately because, they contended,
the industry cannot stand it for two
years.
Chairman Haugen was Instructed to
ask the rules committee to provide
for an early house vote, on the pro ;
posal, which is certain to face a bitter '
fight it it is called upon before March
4 adjournment.
A measure to encourage agricul­
tural extension work by states was
offered by Senator Capper, republican,
Kansas, providing for a federal appr»-
priation of 8480,000 for the first year
to be divided equally between the
states.

Each year the appropriation would
be increased by >500,000 until the end
