Americans Denied Rights in Mexico Oil Fields Threaten Investments
Washington reports that Mexican forces, under President Carranza, blocked American oil drillers by sending troops to fields owned by Americans or companies.

Officials say compliance with Mexican law would imply government ownership of lands, and orders issued May 16 directed troops to act if drilling occurred without a permit. The exact number of troops involved remains unknown.
