Oil Men Silent On Conference In Mexico City
Government and American oil executives gathered in Mexico City for talks on petroleum issues. Leaders such as W. C. Teagle and Harry F. Sinclair offered no public statements beyond praise for the city and a hope for amicable resolutions. A letter from President Harding to President Obregon was described as an introduction, not official. A late meeting with the treasury secretary extended for over two hours as both sides remained noncommittal. Local courts are reviewing appeals by oil companies seeking injunctions against retroactive and confiscatory constitutional clauses.
