Mexico City July 30 There is slight hope Article 27 of the Mexican constitution providing for the nationalization of oil and other natural resources will receive consideration this session. Leaders in the Chamber of Deputies told newspapers that the issue will be raised when regular sessions open in September. The Liberal Constitutional party appears to hold a majority, with indications of reconciliation between President Obregon and his party. A confidence resolution in the president may be proposed and adopted, but it does not guarantee approval of any extraordinary powers to adjust Article 27.
