Washington, July 5.
Parleys on the long-pending Mexican oil expropriation issue were continued here today as Senor L. Quintanilla, Mexican Charge d'Affaires, conferred with Mr. Sumner Welles, Assistant Secretary of State.
The conference was purely "informative, it was later declared. Conversations were said to have been "satisfactory."
These parleys repercussions on the U.S. Government's attitude towards continuing foreign silver purchases were stated to be "one of the most important points in diplonfatic relations between the United States and Mexico."
Since there is strong Senatorial opposition to buying of silver abroad, the Administration now, has the task of convincing the Senate Finance Sub-Committee, presently debating on the problem, that curtailment of its purchase policy would react unfavourably on the expropriation issue,—Havas.
