all expressed themselves freely
IN favor of the government at
Washington extending speedy
recognition to the new govern
ment of Mexico; and all pledged
themselves to exert all their In
fluenee toward inducing that
most desirable action. Such
vas the expression of Governor
arrozola of Ne wMeXico; of
Governor Hobby of Texas; OF
Colonel Bates, representing the
Governor of Arkansas; the per-
,onal representatives of the
governors of Colorado, Okla
homa, Alabama, Missouri and
,ther American States present.
1t may seem strange that
. many of the powers extend
ng recognition the United
States and Great Britain should
both lag behind. France, Jap
IN, Brazil, Italy, Argentina,
Peru, Germany, Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark, Chile, Spain,
Portugal and many other ma
tions, hava notified the Mexi-
can government of their inten-
ion to arrange speedily for re-
,umption of diplomatic re-
lations and some of them have
lone so already. In regent fes-
.ivities in this capital ambas-
sadors from France, Chile and
some other nations mentioned
above were conspicuous figures.
Yet. with more of it's citizens
Interested in Mexico than all
the rest of the nations and with
far greater financial interest in
-olved, the United States holds
sloof and is without representa-
ton. Surely this is an abnormal
condition, and should me rem
died at once.
Mining companies in Mexico
are hit hard by the recent fall
in prices of silver and cooper,
ith possibility of suspension OF
operations, and unemployment
thrust upon some $4,000 miners
in various parts of the republic.
To meet the grave situation is
one of the problems of the new
government, and will be brought
before the first meeting OF the
cabinet of President Obregon
next Saturday. Various rem
idies are suggested, including
-~duction Of freight rates on
2res and mine supplies over ma
/, .:onal railways; reduction OF
ltties upon imported chemicals
coke and other supplies en-
ioyed in treatment of ores; and
'ther items that may go toward
aduction of cost of metal.
