An advertising club whe:e methods Of

Using might be taken, seemed To offer the
logical fulfillment of the need.

oBREGoN WINS IN MEXICO.
New President Regarded as FriendI,
to United States,

Washington, Sept. with the
election Of Gen. Alvaro Obregon to
the presidency Of Mexico, officials
here are looking forward to a bet
terment of relations between Mex
leo and the United States.
General Obcegon's public speeches
and statements regarding interna-
tional affairs have been scratinized
by the state department, and it is
known that these, his platform, and
all that he stands for, indicate that
American lives and property wifi be
accorded the protection and respect
which is their due without IN any
way impairing the sovereignty of
Mexico or belittling her dignity
Every statement thus far made by
Obregon is favorable for fair deal
to foreign interests which is all that
any of the governments whose ma
tiOnals are interested in Mexico have
ever asked for. It remains now only
fo" Obregon to put into effect the
distinct commitments he has made.
The state department, it was au-
thoritatively stated today, has kept
itself fully informed as to the source
and motive of much talk, character
ized as irresponsible, to the effect
that American interests, particularly
oil interests, have been meddling in
Mexican politics, the charge being
made that American gold is being
used to pacify Mexico.
It was learned that the depart
ment has no reason to believe that
American interests Of any nature are
doing anything Nut complying with
their obligations and that so long as
this continues these interests are en-
titled to and will receive the protec-
ton to which they are entitled under
the recognized usageS Of interna-
tional law.
It was noted that there is nothing
to indicate that General Obregon can
or will take any exception, o" that
the Mexican government would OBJ
ject to this.
No nation, except soviet Russia,
with which Mexico does not wish to
be compared, ever takes exception to
another nation safeguarding the
land, an official of the department
said today, as long as these nationals
act within the principles of interna-
tional law.
Mexico had occasion to know this
when she appealed to the United
States for protection of Mexicans in
