Sinclair answers press in Mexico City on oil holdings
Mexico City February 22 AP Harry F P Sinclair president of Sinclair Consolidated Oil Company says he has received no instructions from the state department regarding Mexican land and oil laws. He critiques Washington dispatches claiming Mellon Doheny and Sinclair control 82 percent of Mexican oil lands and says the figure may be correct but the holdings are too small to warrant U S defense. He dismisses the Washington statement as a malicious political maneuver and expresses satisfaction with his talks with Mexican officials, though he declines to disclose discussion details.
