Secretary coBys Mission.

While there are delicate shadinps of conduct
and speech which Secretary Colby must keep in
mind as he goes on the errand to which he has
been delegated blythe President, yet his main task
IS one OF relative simplicity and ease of execution
Brazil and Uruguay have honored us of late by
sending US their chief executives, who have voiced
the good will of their eountrymen toward us as a
people. 1t is privilege to reciprocate; and ia
cilities Of transportation today make the calls of
courtesy quite easy to effect
Were conditions of thestime otherwise than what
they are in all foreign Offices it would be possible
Tor the head of our Department of State to remain
away from his post a sufficiently long time to
make tour of South America that would be bene-
heial 10 him and to the country he will serve until
rext March. Mr.. Root came back from his prec-
edent-establishing swing around the capitals with
knowledge that he used whoiesomely in many ways
But he was at the helm in days of comparative
calm and when issues to be deealt with were fewer
and less complicated
Even If Secretary Colby makes a rapid tour and
visits only two three of the capitals he will have
a chance to get hrst-hand information on vital
phases Of future Pan American policy The south
republics indicating formally and informally
that they expect to share in no insignificant way
in the assembly lof the league of nations when if
meets. The United States can agree or disagree
with that policy and though in the league now
must be deeply concerned with the effect of the
policy, whatever it may be-
Again 1t IS rather open secret that some of
the members of the present Pan American Union.
with its headquarters in this city, have been BY no
means satisfied with the results of the working of
that institution under its past management 1t has
now come into the administration of wiser men;
but all reasons for friction dissatisfaction should
be removed. Possibly Secretary Colby may learn
what these are, as he cannot here ascertain
Last but not least though guest of nations
that will lavish entertainment and honors, he will
find time to come in direct touch with the dipIo-
matte and consular representatives and trading in
terests of his own country, and that will be well
for all concerned

NO RECOGNITION
OF MEXICO YET
Action by United States De.
layed Until Inauguration
OF Obregon.

The United States will not recog-
nize the government of Mexico until
after obregon is inaugurated Presi-
dent on December 1. It was learned
from an Authoritative source here
yesterday Thisl assertion followed
receipt In Washington of a state
ment from President de Ia Huerta
announcing that. recognition will
not be acceptable under conditions
that will lessen the respect due our
government"
In this message President DE la
Huerta intimated that diplomatic
coercion is being brought to bear
upon Mexico. His attitude is inter-
preted to be one OF resentment
against the demand by the United
States that certain DEGREES issued
by Carranza connscating all oil and
minerals under the surface in Mex
leo be set aside.
Speaking of the situation, Secre-
tary Colby said:
There has been neither recession
nor advancement in the matter OF
recognition"
