SAENZ DEFENDS
LAND LAW OF
MEXICO
Declares Statute Neither
Confiscatory Nor
Retroactive.
By I'nhtrMl Service.
WASHINGTON. J»n. 20—Mcx-
Iro'g zo-ciilled slim l*n<! law is neither
♦etroactive nor confiscatory and in-
vratoni there “will enjoy protection.
Aaron Saenz. Mexican ttecretary of for-
*ign affairs declares in a statement
issued by the Mexican embassy.
Senor Saenz defends the provisions
of the law which in the opinion of
American officials tend to operate re-
troactively to confiscate American
_ holdings.
The Snenz statement it is under-
stood follows in general argument the
note which the State Department
probably will receive at once answer-
ing the American protest against the
alleged retroactive and confiscatory
provisions of the law.
MURE LIBERAI.
The policy of the Mexican govern-
ment the secretary says "is more
liberal than thnt of the United States
where by means of immigration laws
foreigners arc practically barred from
e stablishing themselves in its territory
in a groat part of which residence is
required ns a condition to the acquisi-
tion of real property.’
Senor Saenz asserts that the law
should not be called "alien." as it is
"r law relating to the right' which
it grants to Mexicans and to Mexican
corporations for the acquisition ot
rights on lands waters or their appur-
tenances or of concessions to develop
mines waters or mineral fuels in the
republic."
SIMILAR TO V S.
The ■eerctary reviews nt length the
history of legislation and regulations
in Mexico with reference to conditions
governing the acquisition of property
and compared these with what he de-
wribes as similar laws existing in the
United States.
He refers particularly to “similar
provisions but with greater restric-
tions" in Illinois where law grants
"only a period of five years in which
foreigners must dispose of the prop-
erties which they have and if they fail
to do so their lands will be confiscated
to the benefit of the state of Illinois."
Senor Baenz insists that the clause
allowing foreigners in Mexico to re-
tain their holdings until their death
and the similar clause giving coriiora-
tiona 10 years within which to dispose
of theirs amply protects property
rights.
AMERICANS DISSENT.
The American viewpoint is that
tbeae very clauses will operate to <le-
strqy the valve of the properties by
compelling tbe owners to dispose ot
them in a market unable to absorb
them at their real worth.
The statement reiterates the Mcx-
ican argument that the courts will af-
ford all proper protection. I!! this
connection Senor Saenz says:
“Investors in Mexico will enjoy pro-1
teetion since the means provided by
the laws and tbe aims of Mexico teud
only to consecrate as other nations do.
the principle that the laws and courts
of the country are the only institu-
tioM competent to protect tho interest
vented in the country and resolve on
matters regarding them."
