AMERICA MAY NOT RECOGNIZE MEXICO If Laws Enacted Under Article 27 Are Retroactive, Will Be
 No Recognition
Rv Associated Press

Bv AsSOCi9ted Press
 Washington, November 17.-Recognition of the new government in Mexico by the United States will be withheld, it was said today at the state department, until Mexico has made clear the effect to be given to Article 27 of the Mexican con-
 Strong pressure for speedy recognition is being brought to bear on the depart ment by some business and other inter ests, but a high officer stated emphat- icaIly today that no corporation, no group of corporations and no group of individ- uals was going to deliver American rec ognition to Mexico.
 It was made clear that the United States was not demanding as prelim- mary repeal of Article 2. but 1t was stated that if the operation of laws en- acted under that section were made re- troactive, the American government could not accord recognition
 The United States, officials explained, is actuated by a desire to protect Amer ican interests in the southern republic and in it's study of the whole situation it has invited and received from American corporations and individuals having in terests in Mexico statements as to con ditions there and the present application of Mexican laws
 Early recognition of Mexico was fore cast in statement issued at the depart ment some weeks ago. but apparently 1t is not much nearer now than it was then. Whether recognition will come be- fore the present administration at Mexico City turns over the government to Pres ident-elect Obregon on December ap- parently still is undetermined.

to revive the war finance corporation. They said today this was the only agency which could give immediate help to agricultural interests in the "appalI- mg" situation resulting from the sudden fall in prices.
 A conference of western senators and representatives to discuss the matter will be called, it was stated, when Chairman Gronna, North Dakota, of the Senate Az ton. One suggestion Is that Congress adopt a mandatory resolution directing the immediate revival of the corporation.
 In an appeal to President Wilson to restore the corporation, Senator Dial of South Carolina, wrote that he had dis cussed the matter with Secretary Hous- ton, adding:
 T must say that he does not com prehend in the least the situation, or ne does not destre to assist the American producer, and l feel that it is absolutely useless for anyone to confer with him further on the subject"
 T have conferred with all the leaders of our party" the Senator's letter con tinued, and I have not yet found sin gle man who does not agree that the war finance corporation should resume operations at once"
 The executive committee of the na- tional board of farm organizations will meet here next Monday to discuss pos sible relief measures. Delegations named at the recent agricultural conference here also asked Secretary Houston to rehab- ilItate the war finance corporation and were met with the statement that it was not necessary, the secretary quoting ex- ports to show the amount of agricultural products which have moved over seas.
 Passage of the Capper-Herstmann Vol- stead bill legalizing collective marketing will be urged by the farmers representa- tives at the coming session of Congress, it was stated today. They will also ask for congressional investigation of credit and rates of interest
