the adjournment at Atlantic City In
drafting tentative programs for further
discussion.
The Americans, it is understood, will in
sist upon agreement to an amendment
to the protocol that will serve as a guar
antee that the Carranza government will
respect and protect the rights of Ameri-
cans and other foreigners in Mexico The
Mexicans probably will be asked to
agree to the amendment or annulment OF
all DEGREES that provide for confiscation
Of foreign-owned property and for the
