The oil men asked the official support of the United States government in their effort to havo the expropriation modified. Only a few hours earlier, the Treasury hart announced It would discontinue its purchases of silver produced in Mexico, leading to speculation that this government already was exerting pressure. Although Secretary Morgenthau's announcement of the silver suspension did not refer to tho Mexican exportation of oil wells, the treasury action was Interpreted In Mexico City as a reprisal. Monetary experts immediately for possible effects on tho world silver price. They said this price, which had moved up and down violently in previous years, was held at about 45 cents an ounce In 1936 and 1937 largely because of American purchases abroad.

Mexico was the world's largest silver producer in 1937, and the United States started out this year to buy 5,000,000 ounces of the white metal from her every month. This program and similar arrangements with Canada and China replaced a London silver agreement, which expired January 1. That pact among eight nations was intended to hold back rapid changes in silver price. The United States carried the burden, buying 14 times its quota In four years. Withdrawal of the silver purchases, some close observers said, might prompt' Mexico to compensate American oil companies more quickly and more fully than it might otherwise do.

As a basis for government action here, the four American oil companies Involved already have complained to the State Department against "a manifest denial of justice." As in the case of oil wells, Americans have been heavy investors In Mexican silver, mines, Silver, a historic battleground of American politics, became a prominent factor in tho New Deal economic program In 1933, Seeking to raise farm prices and to stimulate silver mine employment, the Roosevelt administration won from Congress authority to pay more than the market silver. In 1934, the treasury was authorized to buy enough silver to match every three dorter's' worth of gold in Its vaults with one dollar's worth of silver, This goal was never achieved. Mexico City, March The United States Treasury's decision to cease buying Mexican silver aroused speculation here today as to what further reactions there would be in Washington over Mexico's expropriation of the foreign oil Industry. The decision to suspend purchase was reflected here in ft seemingly less friendly atmosphere toward foreigners. One American couple, 'longtime residents of Mexico' City, reported shopkeepers in a Wff UP" town market refused to sell to GREENVILLE.
