PUT SoUARELY UP TO U. S.
Recognition of the Huerta Regime
Lies in Accepting New Ambassador.

An inquiry from the Mexican foreign
ONCE as to the acceptability to this
government Of Emilio Rabasa, in the
capacity of Mexican ambassador to
washington, to succeed Senior Calero.
retired, has brought the State Depart
ment face to face with the question Of
formal recognition of the new pro-
visional government of Mexico. Up to
this time Ambassador Wilson has been
doing business with the Huerta adj
ministration on de facto basis. and it
now becomes necessary to decide
whether formal recognition shall be ex-
tended, such as would be involved in
the reception by President Wilson of
the new ambassador.
The personality Of the new ambas-
sador is quite unexceptionable. He is a
lawyer, fifty-six years old, who speaks
English fiuently, and is regarded as
one Of the greatest authorities on in
ternational law in Mexico. Formerly he
was governor of the state of Chiapas
under the old Porfirlo Diaz administra-
ton, and held other Offices, but was
never identified with the Madero regime.

satisfaction on many roads in the suburbs
of large cities, is to be used. 1t will
cost about $1,000 per mile. and it will
withstand the wear of automobiles and
general travel. 1t has also been decided
