The Mexican Oil Problem*
Kellogg, Frederic R. | October 5, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The phrase "Mexican Oil Problem" is a misleading one as descriptive of the issues which have been raised between the Government of the Mexican Republic and the oil-producing companies. The commercial oil development in Mexico dates from the year 1900, when Edward L. Doheny and Charles A. Canfield, of Los Angeles, California, purchased their first properties in that republic. Not a single acre of oil land was acquired directly or indirectly from the Mexican Government or nation. Neither Doheny nor Canfield nor their successor, the Huasteca Petroleum Company has ever obtained a concession or grant of any nature from the Government of Mexico covering a single square foot of oil lands.
