Extension of Credit to
Mexico Being Considered
Financing of Obregon Administration Under Proper
Safeguard One Of Central Policies of Proposed
Treaty Which Is Receiving Serious Atten- I
tion of President Elect Harding.

interest of the United States in Mex
ico warrants such assistance as
much as the extension of credit to
the allies during the war.
1t is realized, however, that there
would be considerable opposition to
the extension of government credit
for several hundred million dollars
and it is conceived to be likely that
the advance of funds would be made
by group of American fanciers on
terms approved by the government.
1t is suspected that the apparent
hitch in Obregon's acceptance of
the Wilson administrations terms
of recognition is not unrelated to
prospective understanding between
him and the Harding administration.
Will Not Press Claims.
Obregon, however, has not ap-
pointed the commissioners and now
intimates he is not inclined to press
for recognition at this time. Inas-
much as since the receipt of the COL
by note, he has been in touch with
one or more of Senator Harding's
advisors, he may have decided to ig-
more the Wilson administration and
deal only with the Harding regime
after March a. Administration of
ficials are waxing testy over Obre-
gon's GOODNESS. The alleged orgy of
petroleum speculation in concessions
granted during the last hours of the
De La Huerta regime has caused
in Mexico City, ac-
cording to today"s advices from that
capital. Its reaction was felt in
Washington especially when it be-
came known that congressional in
is being considered in an
effort to prevent the British-owned
oil companies, which secured the
vast concessions just granted in
Mexico, from gaining monopoly
of the oil supplies of thin hemisphere
as they have done, elsewhere in the
world.

ment of his campaign promise for a
meeting of minds" to determine a
new American foreign policy, Presi-
dent-elect Harding today began a
month of conferences here by seek
ing the advice of Charles E.
Hughes, republican nominee for the
presidency in 1916.
What passed during their talk Of
several hours was not revealed, for
afterwards Mr.. Harding maintained
silence and Mr.. Hughes would only
say that international problems had
been considered in relation to con-
stantly changing conditions and
with view to solution along the
lines laid down BY the president
aelect during the campaign.
v While the two were closeted to-
gether, Col. George Harvey ap-
peared on the scene for a visit
which, it was said, might last for
several days. 1t was the second
time he had come here at an hour
when questions affecting the coun-
try's international relations were
awaiting solution. He spent two
weeks at Harding's headquarters
just prior to Mr.. Harding's>address
of August %. terming the Versailles
league a failure and proposing for
nation of an association of nations.

Hughes, Senator Harding motored to
Columbus, where they took lunch
con with Harry M. Daugherty, the
Harding pre-convention manager,
and former Senator Theodore E.
Burton of Ohio.
Both of the president-elect's guests
came here today unannounced, three
days in advance of the date on which
it previously had been saidsthe con-
ferences would begin. 1t was ex-
planned that Mr.. Harding did not feel
that he should make public in ad-
vance the names of those he is to
see nor the dates on which they have
appointments.
After his return to Marion tonight
Mr.. Harding received a delegation
from the Ohio Americanization con-
ference in session at Columbus and
attended a private dinner at which he
heard lecturer discuss conditions
in the far east. During the evening
he talked over several political ques-

Confident Of Winning in
Upper Branch.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Legislation
to provide relief for farmers con-
fronted by falling prices occupied
the greater pattb the senate's time
today and wheh adjournment was
reached their Vas agreement that
vote would be taken tomorrow on
the agricultural committees resolu-
ton to revive the war finance cor
poration. .. -=r
The debate on the measure. led by
Senator's Dial, democrat, South Caro-
lima; Smith, democrat, Georgia, and
Capper, republican, Kansas, brought
forth no pronounced opposition to
the legislation and tonight Senator
Gronna republican, North Dakota,
expressed confidence that the mea-
sure would be adopted.
Stimulation of agriculture through
exports was declared by the speak
ers to be one of the principal reasons
for urging revival of the war f.
nance corporation. Indirectly it
would result in stabilizing conditions
generally, it was added.
There is not living market for
farm products in the United States
today" Senator Capper told the
senate, adding that the closing of
banks in North Dakota indicates
that agriculture, Our biggest busi-
ness and the foundation of our
wealth and prosperity, is close to
Decentralization and ruin" The
banks were closed, he. said, because
they could not collect from the farm
ers who were unable to pay because
there was no market for their crops.
"We have gone about this thing
of deflation all wrong" he con-
tinued.' "The farmer has been made
the goat so often that it was thought
he could be safely made the goat in
this big deflation. He cannot carry
it. He will not carry it. He has
said so and is stating so today.
"The farming business cannot exist
unless credit and market conditions
are remedied soon." E,.

Proclaimed
In Ireland.
Martial Law Put Into Effect
In Attempt to Force Con.
ferences With Sim
Fein Leaders.
Britain Ready for Peace
by The Associated Press.

.London, Dec. 10.-Martial law to
be applied to certain areas OF Ire
land to put down murder and out
rage" and a move to bring about
conferences between the govern
ment and Sim Fein leaders on the
Irish situation, were announced by
Premier Lloyd George in the house
o. commons today.
In announcing this double pol
icy" of the government, the premier
declared that Under martial law, per-
sons found possessing arms, after
certain date, or unauthorized per-
sons wearing uniforms would be
liable to the death penalty.
On the other hand, to facilitate
negotiations, the premier annoWced,
the government had decided to give
safe conducts to Sim Fein members
of the house of commons who had
not been 'involved in the commits
SION OF serious crime"
Protection Furnished.
Mr.. Lloyd George confirmed the
reports that the cabinet was in touch
with Intermediates, apparently re-
ferring to the Right Rev. Patrick
Joseph Clune, bishop of Perth, Aus
tralia, with whom the premier has
had interviews recently. .
The government, said Mr.. Lloyd
George, was regrettully convinced
that the section of the Irish popula-
ton which controlled "the organiza-
ton Of violence, murder and out
rage" was not yet ready tor real
peace, namely, for peace which
would accept the only basis on
which peace could be concluded
acceptance of the unbroker unity OF
the United Kingdom. Therefore, the
government had decided on double
policy. .l'
Only Option.
On the one hand, the government.
felt, continued the premier, that it
had no option but to continue and
Intensity its campaign against that
"sma1l, but highed organized and
desperate minority" which was us
ing murder and outrage in order 70
attain }, the impossible, and whicn
could bring peace neither to Ire
land nor to Great Britain.
On the other hand, the govern
nent, the premier declared, would
open and encourage every channel
by which the forces in Ireland which
really were anxious for an honor
able settlement could find express
sion and so lead to negotiations
Which would produce real and a
lasting peace.
II am convinced and quite regret
fully" added Mr.. Lloyd George,
"that it is essential in order to Sc
cure peace in Ireland, that you must
convince the whole of the people
of Ireland that the authority of the
law and of the empire is, paramount;
that we need to make it paramount;
but that, having established that
fact, the British house of commons
and the British nation are willing
