Unless its utility s. manifest. What
we need is Improvement"
When the Tribune reporter askei
about New York City problems, such
as rapid transit and waterfront i'm

can see any hour of the day. along the
waterfront, particularly adjacent to
tie provision markets, long lines Of
waiting trucks. They sometimes have
to wait for hours for their loads. The
cost OF the waiting goes on to the re-
cal. price of the commodity. The dis
tr;bution system is not what it should

large plan advocated by the Governor
is that in single term of two years

there is possibility that before any

closed, Judge Miller, entirely without
bitterness, said:
The opposition. particularly here
IN New York, worked assiduously, and

George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican state committee, called or
Judge Miller. He said afterward that
organization matters were discussed
Governor Smiths telegram of con
gratulations was received by Judge
Miller at the hotel. He replied as fol

HOPING FOR
EASY TERMS
q. S. Recognition Awaits
Settlement of Pending
Legal Questions.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
fSnecial tn The Argus.)

Washington, Nov. 22.-The Unit
ed States government stands ready
to recognize the government in
Mexico over which President-E Elect
Alvaro Obregon will rule next
month, provided the legal questions
pending between the two govern
ments can be satisfactorily adjusted.
For the first time in more than a
decade a government has arisen in
Mexico which appears to realize
fully the necessity Of cooperation
with the United States but public
opinion below the Rio Grande is
still as sensitive about any attitude
that might seem cringing or suppli-
ant. This accounts for the ON
cial statements insisting that Mex
leo cannot afford to accept any rec
ognition which has conditions at
tached to it. Naturally the Ameri-
can government has no desire to i'm
pose conditions as such. Moreover.
the Washington administration
realizes that American public opin-
ion will not be satisfied with mere
promises and that actual perform
ance Is necessary. Some start must
be made toward the settlement of
pending difficulties and when
enough action has been taken by
the Mexican government to war
rant . belief that the points which
the United States wishes cleared up
will be eventually settled then rec
ognition will be gladly extended.
There Is some suggestion that
the new Mexican government Is try
ing to play as between the Wilson
and the Harding administration.
Thereare those who are counselling
Mexico that easier terms VIII pc
secured from the Republicans than
