Mexico Asks How

Has i'm the World
Enjoys Seek Definition of
Diplomatic Status; De.
n,ands FearedAftcr Recop-
milton by Other Nations
By George E. Hyde


Copyright. 1890, New York Tribune Inc.
NEXICO CITY. Sept. 2.-Mexico has
MADE formal inquiries OF all other ma
lions as to whether diplomatic rela-
lions are considered interrupted, sus-
pended or broken OFF. The government
within the last week has instructed all
it, diplomats in foreign capitals to OBJ
tain definition Of the present status
As it is understood by the other gov
ernments.
Cuthberts Hidaleo. acting Minister
Of Foreign Relations, said to-day that
Guatemala was the only one specifi-
eally mentioning outright recognition.
Senior Hidalgo declared that all gov
ernments are carrying on business
With the new Mexican government
without interruption, and therefore
he does not consider the question Of
recognition as one needing immediate
consideration.
aThe fact that somewhat Of an alb
normal situation has existed is posi-
bly, best for Mexico, since it has pre-
vented foreign governments making
demands on the De Ia Huerta govern
ment at a time when we were not pre-
pared to meet them," said Senior Hi
dalgo.
The official asserted that relations
between the United States and Mexico
never have been more cordial, adding
that during the recent trouble with
former Governor Cantu in Lower Cali
fornia Washington agreed to all re-
quests and evidenced a disposition to
assist in every way.
President de la Huerta, discussing
oil production in Mexico, said that
the prospects were for the greatest
production of any nation in the world
this year, and that when fully de-
veloped the taxes and royalties from
the industry would cover almost the
entire national budget.
President de la Huerta opened the
asw Mexican Congress yesterday with
. bare quorum in the Senate and
lower house.
The President, in his message, men
toned that extradition treaties be-
tween the United States and Mexico
are operative for the first time in ten
years, and that mutual extraditions
already have been granted. He said
that the government is making every
effort to extend full protection to the
sssSS ouu 1AIC4CotS VI 4OASlSuSAS dnO
also taking steps to obtain greater
protection for Mexicans abroad.
He added that the government is
studying the means Of paying indcm-
mites to foreigners for losses from
various causes, including the taking
over Of funds by the government, un-
paid debts and non-payment of inter-
est.
The executive reported the country
at peace. All groups opposing the past
regime have capitalized, although a
few small bands of highwaymen are
roaming, closely pursued by federal
forces. He reported the discharge
from army service of 700 officers and
2S,120 men, leaving a present strength
Of 1870 regiments Of cavalry, seventy
five battalions Of infantry and seven
regiments Of field artillery, with cor
responding auxiliary arms.
The President said the country is
flourishing. financially, as shown by
exports and imports, which are rapidly

Swedes Test Specialization
Question Is Leading Issue in
General Election

STOCKHOLM, Sept. disqualification
is the leading issue in the Swedish rem
erai election beginning Sunday. A
committee was appointed several
months ago to investigate the socializa-
ton of Swedish industries, especially
mines, water powers, forests and pri-
vately owned railroads.
Premier Branting has approached the
problem cautiously. declaring that no
socialization will be resorted to unless
it is clearly shown that it would lead
to increased production at low cost, in
which case private plants would be
bought out with interest bearing
bonds, and the process would be
gradual.
Experiments in some lines. however
have proved that specialization resulted
in economic failures, and they were
only able to keep alive by the taxpay-
ers' support.
