Why Uncle Sam Halted Mexican Recognition
In 1917 Mexico adopted a new constitution asserting article 27 that subsoil resources are owned by Mexican subjects and restricts mineral rights to Mexicans or Mexican companies. Foreigners could only acquire rights by renouncing privileges and seeking redress through their governments. President Obregon ruled the act nonretroactive in 1922, easing capital fears. Diplomatic ties depend on Mexico signing a treaty of amity and commerce, now under review by the American-Mexican Commission with Warren Payne for the U S and Rea Ross for Mexico.
