Relative to the removal OF Baron
Camille Romano Avezzana from the
post of Italian Ambassador at Wash

day issued this statement:
1.-The Department learns with regret
that the Italian Ambassador is being
called home. Baron Avezzana has been
a most acceptable representative OF his
Government In Washington, and in his
intercourse with the officers of this
Government has been happily a means
of strengthening the close and friendly
relations of the people Of the United
States with the people of Italy. Baron
and Baroness Avezzana have been most
delightful additions to official Wash
tngton, and they will be sincerely
missed"

1t was also said at the Department
that the multiplicity of ENJOYS had not

Officials explained that they referred to
the recent visit Of Roberto W Pesqueira,
Mexican financial agent in New York.
to Washington to confer with Under
Secretary of State Davis, with whom

held his conferences. Pesqueira was
said to have urged immediate recogni-

Mr.. Davis.

Mexico city that Washington advices
said that the United States, France and
Great Britain had concluded a treaty
against Mexico. State Department OFF,

the numerous claims of their citizens
resulting from the ten years of revolu-
ton, but denied that any treaty against
Mexico has been negotiated Reports
that such treaty had been entered into

Great Britain and France are repre-
scented here as closely following the lead
of the United States with regard to Mex

hood that they will accord recognition
tosthe new regime in Mexico in advance
Of similar action by the United States.

DRICES are coming down because
l. they must-not because costs have
lowered, but because business in this
country cannot resume its normal
volume and confidence until the ade-
quate buying power of the dollar has
been restored.
This is not palatable doctrine to manufac-
turers who, like ourselves, are actually facing
higher costs today than six months ago; but
it is the irresistible logic of the situation and
only asst is generally faced and courageously
met will the restoration of the economic
equilibrium be hastened.
When Hares Motors undertook the opera
ton Of the Companies under its control it
was fully expected-as we took much pains
at the time to make the public aware-that
their increased production under the direction
of our able engineering staff would eventually
reduce costs regardless of the general price
trend, but it was not expected that our opera
tons would by this time have reached that
stage and, as matter of fact, they have not.
Both output and sales have been greater
during the last four months than at any other

WASHINGTON. Oct. with reference
to the despatch from Toxic stating that
the standing committee OF the OPPOSE

vited Masano Hanihara, vice-Foreign
Minister. to make a detailed report on
negotiations with the United States rela-
tive to California. 1t can be said that he
will be able to report that the negotia-
lions are progressing favorably.
The Vice Minister is not expected to
go beyond that statement. as it is under
stood to be n matter OF agreement be-
tween the two governments that nothing
shall be given publicity except by mutual
consent until the negotiations are con-
Guided
The State Department has consistent

garding the progress OF the negotiations
and consequently 1t Is expected that Mr..

MERCER

equivalent period in the history of the Loco
mobile and Mercer Companies, but improve
ments in both products plus increasing costs
of labor and materials have more than kept
pace with increased production, and except
for the obvious duty of collaboration among
manufacturers to restore the morale OF bust
ness, even at considerable temporary sacrifice,
there would be no justification whatever for
a price reduction at this time.
Nevertheless we are convinced THAT such
procedure is today both sound and construc-
tive-that the greatest ultimate profit is to
be earned by taking present loss-and it is
our earnest hope that before the period ex
pires within which, under existing conditions,
we can afford to maintain the revised price
list, our business will have expanded enough
and our costs will have dropped enough to
warrant our making the new prices permanent.
If not we shall have no recourse but to
revise again-and this time upwards.
Because of the element of uncer-
tainty which obscures this point we
are for the present accepting orders
for delivery at the new scale until
