Obregon Offers
Full Equity ON
Oil and Debts
President Cites Twelve Ex-
amplcs of His Efforts
TO Rchabilitate Mexican
Standing Among Nations
Morals and Law Guide
Reforms To BE Promulgated
by Special Congress; All
Rebel Activities Curbcd

MEXICO CITY. April 3 BY The AS
sociatcd Press ).-Twelvc examples Of
Mexican effort to "obtain legitimate
prestige among the other nations of the
world" were enumerated by President
Obregon to-day in formal statement
given to foreign correspondents.
The President began his statement
by declaring that the present regime
in Mexico "is following a line of con-
duct in absolute accord with the pre-
cepts of morals and Of law, and has
initiated this policy with series of
acts which have taken place within the
past few months and which will not
be interrupted until its noble purposes
have been fulfilled"
One Of the examples of the policy
of the present administration cited by
President Obrcgon was the calling of
an extraordinary session of Congress,
during which the principal reforms
of legal character will be discussed
and promulgated, among these being
the regulation OF Article 27 of the Con-
stitution, in so far as it refers to oil,
and which regulations doubtlessly will
be based on a broad spirit of equity
in which cndeavor will be made not to
make it's dictates contiscatory nor to
give it retroactive Interpretation"
Regarding Mexico's foreign debt, the
Presidents statement said: "An invi-
tation has been extended to all holders
of our exterior debt: asking them to
appoint their representatives and enter
into arrangements with the government
concerning all its debts. uron the basis s
that the govednmcnt will not use any
subterfuge or evasions. but, on the con-

Returning for
Extra Session
Opening Week Away; Har-
ding Probably 10 Address
Members; Adjournment
Before Fall No, Expected
Emergency Tariff First
Program Contemplates Sew
eral Revenue Bills, Then
Federal Tax Revision

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 3.-With the
extra session Of Congress scheduled to
begin one week from tomorrow. many
members of the Senate and House who
left the capital for brief vacations are
beginning to drift back to WASHINGTON.
Many of the new members of the Sen
ate and House are here in readiness
fer the opening.
The opinion freely expressed by the
great majority OF members IS that a
protracted and arduous session is
ahead. Though there is more or less
talk that tariff and tax revision will be
completed so that Congress car ad-
Journ in July, few members of either
House take this with much seriousness.
That the session will be drawn out to
September or October is the prevailing
view. Not few members believe it
will run INTO the regular session next
December, with perhaps few weeks
recess period
President Harding is expected to
read his message to the two houses the
second day of the session, tuesday
April ~. The President has not for
mally announced that he will present
his message in person, but he" is under
stood to be disposed to do So He has
said repeatedly that he desires to keep
in close personal touch with the mem
bers of the two houses
Although strong elements in and out
of Congress believe tax revision should
precede tariff revision, there is no in
d!cation that the program mapped out
some days ago will be changed This
calls for emergency tariff, anti-dump-
ing, American valuation, permanent
tariff revision and tax revision Pres
sure of emergency tariff legislation
from the agricultural interests CON
tinues to be strong. The House Ways
and Means Committee intends to offer
emergency tariff, anti dumping an(
American valuation in three separate
bills, but the plan of the Senate
Finance Committee is to unite them
in one. This, however, is not likely tc
cause any serious clash between the
houses The House will rush the first
three bills through under special rules
but there are indications that ten day
OF two weeks of debate will be required
IN the Senate. Senate Democrats who
oppose the emergency 'ariff h'l will
assail it vigorously. in the hope OF
making political capital out Of it.
The task of formulating the perma-
hehV tafl1 reVlsloH Dill is blg one
IT will probably be a month c. more
before it is ready to report to the
House. Unstable and abnormal con
ditions in Europe make the task ex-
.remely difficult. To large extent
the Ways and Means Committee are
taking the Payne Aldrich bill as q
guide, and while not following those
rates they are using them in large
measure to find their bearings.
The army and navy appropriations
bills. the Colombia treaty, which is be-
fore the Senate; the budget bill, the
Knox resolution for peace with Ger.
many. phases of the railroad question
and the long program of legislation de
manded by the farmers organizations
are among the other subjects with
which Congress will have to concern
itself.

Rounds Up Department to

Jonn Ehrman, one of the most thor
ough ilremen in North Pelham's yolun-
teer department. who was on nirht
watch az the engine house, was awak-
ened long before dawn yesterday bv a
cracking and pronounced odor Of
smoke.
The book of rules says that the first
thing to be done is to ascertain the
seat Of the fire. Fireman Erdman ran
upstairs. The seat of the fire was in
the commissioner room, on the second
floor. which was all ablaze. Ehrman
ran downstairs again.
The next thing to be done was to
turn in an alarm. He ran to the box
in front of the building and sent in an
alarm. AS the gong sounded inside the
station house he realized for the first
time that he merely was serving for
NAL notice on himself that Fire Head
quarters was atire.
Thereafter he acted upon impulse
rather than by the book He tcle-
phoned to the mill to have the signal
given With the siren and then ran
toward the station, where the last
train from New York had just

Congress Expected
To Send Committee
OF Inquiry to Cuba
Action May Be Taken After
Gen. Crowder Reports;
Conditions in Island Said
TO Be Growing Worse

From The Tsibunes Washington Bareau
WASHINGTON, April 3.-As the time
draws near for the opening of the ex-
ira session of the new Congress there
is renewal of predictions that steps
will be taken by the Senate or by the
Senate and House jointly to send a
committee to Cuba to investigate con-
ditions.
Senator Johnson. of California, at the
last session Of Congress presented a
resolution for an investigation into
Cuban affairs by a Senate committee
cause of lack of time and also because
it was thought advisable to await the
report of General Crowaer
The Crowder report will soon be
made. Rumors are current that it will
be favorable to Dr.. Alfredo Zayas
rather than to General Jose Miguel
Gomez, the defeated Liberal party con-
didate at the Presidential election.
At the same time there is a strong
current of gossip here to the effect that
conditions in Cuba are getting worse.
While It is not entirely easy to learn
the truth about the situation in view of
the propaganda put out by one side or
the other, it is nevertheless a fact
that there is much sentiment in Con-
gress and especially in the Senate in
favor of learning the facts at first hand
Gomez in Washington
General Gomez is IL Washington
He has talked to some Senators in
formally and will talk to others. 1t is
understood he would welcome an in
quiry by a committee of Congress.
At the last session it was the plan
to have the inquiry made, if one should
be made, by the Cuban Relations Com
mittee, of which Senator Johnson was
head. But this committee does not
exist in the reorganization of the
Senate committees. The Investigation
might be made by the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee or the Committee on
Territories and Insular Affairs, of
which Senator New, of Indiana, will be
the chairman.
