NE EX|CANS ARE
STILL HOPEFUL
OF RECOGNITION
Summerlin Denies Hughes is
Endeavoring to Open New
Negotiations Basis

MEXICO CITY, Sept. Although
an impasse apparently exists between
the Mexican and United States govern
ments on recognition of Mexico, due
to the Mexican governments refusal
To- sign treaty of amity and COM
merce as prior act, expressions of
the belief are general here that some
thing is going on behind the scenes
in an attempt to break the deadlock,
but at the same time, to place neither
nation in the light of receding from
its original position.
The local newspapers, quoting both
American and Mexican sources, as
sert a new basis for an interchange
of ideas between George T. Summer
I'm, American charge d'affaires, and
Senor Pani, Mexican foreign secre-
,tary, is being established.
Summerlin, denying newspaper an
nouncements that he had received in
structions from Secretary Hughes to
take up the matter of the recognition
of Mexico along new lines, told the
Associated Press that so far as he
was concerned, the question of recog-
milton remained where it had been
and that he had made no representa-
llOnS 10 the IOrelSH OlllCe mere
Much is being made by political
observers of the events of the last
10 days-the decision of the supreme
court on the constitution as it affects
oil and the conference between Amer
ican oil men and Mexican officials.
The supreme courts decision, which
is construed here as defining article
~ of the constitution as non-retro-
active, has not been formally publish
ed.
fhe understanding is that the text
of the decision will not be given out
tor another 10 days.
The return to New York of the
heads OF the five oil companies is ex-
pected here to result shortly in the
publication of the detailed terms of
the agreement, which is construed as
containing elements which will con-
tribute to a speedy clearing up of the
international situation. Local news
papers persist in expressions of the
ueiief that something more than taxes
was talked of and that the American
oil men will make some definite rec
concentrations to Washington.
That the conference terminated am
icably seemingly is testified to by the
payment within the last two days of
more than five million pesos in taxes
by delinquent oil companies, and the
immediate resumption of work in the
Tampico oil fields.

MELLON TAX
+. PLAN, OPPOSED
|. BY HOUSE, WILL
BE HEARD AGAIN
Senate Finance Committee
To Take Up Suggestions
Of Treasury Chief
DECISION is HELD UP
Senate Has Completed Study
Of Measure But Delays
Verdict on Changes
DECISION is HELD UP

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Secretary
abandoned by the house ways and
means committee after the interven-
tion of President Harding, will come
up again tomorrow before the senate
finance committee. Mellon will be on
hand to discuss those suggestions, the
estimates as revised after the White
House conference August 9, and the
tax as passed by the house.
The senate committee completed
preliminary consideration of the
house measure today, but decided to
postpone decision on the changes
made by the house until after the Sec
retary had been heard.
SCss1stions originally presented to
the house committee by Mellon were
built around an estimated tax yield
requirement of approximately $780,
100000 next year, or some $750,OOO,-
000 more than provided for in the
house bill. They contemplated new
sources of revenue such as a one cent
increase in first class postage, a
stamp tax of two cents on each bank
check, and a graduated license tax on
automobiles to average $40 yearly for
CNA
cigarettes and tobacco, to yield addi-
tional $50O00,000 annually.
The original total tax yield as given
by Mellon is approximately that
which some members OF the senate
committee believe will be necessary
next year. Others, and particularly
the Democrats, are of the opinion ap-
proXImately four billions of dollars
will have to be raised.
Some committee Democrats indicat-
ed today that they desired to question
the secretary as to the purpose of the
authorization contained in the house
measure for the treasury to issue an
additional $500,00,O00 in short dated
securities. They desire to know, they
said, whether this authority was re-
Quested by him in the belief that the
ueficit under the house tax measure
would total that sum.
After Secretary Mellon has been
heard, the committee will get down
to revising the house measure and
considering general questions of poll
cy Chairman Penrose said it was
the purpose to have the bill ready for
the senate September 81.
1t was understood Senator Smoot,
Republican, Utah, informed the COM
mittee today that he would present
his sales tax plan. There also has
been some talk of a proposal for a
manufacturers tax on a limited scale.

WASHINGTON, Sept. T. General
Pershing and Samuel Gompers had a
tilt last night at a dinner given as
the conclusion of the exercises here
celebrating LaFayetteMarne Day.
At least official Washington regards
it as a clash over the question of
whether labor won. the war.
Gompers had spoken on the after
dinner program, and while he made
no claims that labor won the war, he
did tell of the record of the American
Federation of Labor during the war
and declared that previous to the en-
try of the United States, its sympa-
thy was with the cause of the allies.
General Pershing, however, appar-
emily regarded Gompers' remarks as
claim that labor won the war. Some
of those who heard his remarks quote
him as having said substantially:
The policies of this republic are
not determined by labor unions or by
any other organization, but by the
consensus of opinion of its patriotic
citizens of whatever affiliations.
Il want to say that every American
is a patriot, whether he belongs to
some labor organization Or is just an
ordinary citizen and that it is not a
question of labor unions, it is not a
question of any organization, it is not
question of whether we belong to
some association or not.
1T is a question of whether we are
loyal citizens of the United States.
am here to say to YOU that the mem
bers of the labor unions were not the
only ones who won the war. 1t was
the citizens who inherited their patri-
otism from their forefathers who
came across in the Mayflower and
helped determine and decide the in

GENEVA, Sept. Z. - (By the Asso-

and in cases where one party to a
treaty asks Intervention to secure re-
vision were principal subjects of dis
cussiOn in and ont of the assembly

ed revision of the Tacna-Arica treaty
of 1904 between Chile and Bolicia.
The debate began at the morning
session. A canvass of the principal
delegations shows large majority is
against establishing a precedent that
the league may interfere to revise
treaties, particularly treaties Of
peace.
There also is strong feeling that ii
is dangerous for the prestige of the
league not to be able to consider ques-
ti0ns such as raised by Bolivia, in
which there are features that. in the
opinion of some of the delegates,

Purely American Issue
Augustin Edwards, representing
Chile, argued that Tacna-Arica was
purely an American affair and that
the Monroe Doctrine applied in no
sense to European states nor could
the league of nations interfere.
Senior Aramayo, for Bolivia inform
ed the Associated Press that the
chancellory of the United States had
been consulted regarding Bolivia's ap-
plication to the league before it was
submitted and had decided mediation
by the league was not incompatible
with the Monroe Docerine.
A. j. Balfour of Great Britain, Lord
Robert Cecil of South Africa, and
President van Karnebeek failed TO
keep the debate off the floor; they
succeeded only in securing the con-
sent of the Bolivian and Chilean defe-
