Actual shipments, however, are expected to reach 19,110,000 barrels, against 14,854,759 barrels in 1929. The report also contains the encouraging statement that " the Mexican Government is initiating investigations into the present economic conditions in Mexico, and the directors are pleased to be able to report that there are indications that steps will be taken whirls will benefit the industry and lead to a greater prosperity for the country."
