Settlement Reported In Mexican Oil Seizure Dispute
A partial settlement was reported from Mexico City in which Consolidated Oil Company Sinclair reached an agreement with the Mexican government over expropriation of oil lands.

Secretary of State Hull urged arbitration, while Mexico reportedly rejected that option. There are more than 3 million miles of roads and highways in the United States.
