No Question of Party
That Will Control All

Proportonately fewer men control affairs
in the House than in the Senate. That is
probably due to the fact that in the smaller
body each individual member counts for
more When Senator Charles Curtis of
Kansas. the Republican whip informs. Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Republican floor leader, that there is a
majority of six or eight for bill that the
leaders desire to pass, Senator Lodge feels
that the measure is safe" and ceases to
worry any more about it. But 4 Representa-

INSIST ON MEXICO'S
GUARANTY OF TITLES
State Department Plans De-
mand on ObregOn, Says
Secretary Fletcher.

WASH INGToN, Oct. 1.-The Under Secre-
tary of State. Mr.. Fletcher. was quoted
by Representative Hudspeth of Texas
to-day as saying in connection with
recognition that Mr.. Obregon and his
Government must put down in black
and white that all titles held by Ameri-
cans shall be fully recognized. and this
must extend to States that have con-
fiscated the lands of Americans. for
which they have issued State bonds that
are not worth the paper they are writ
ten on"
The Obregon Government heretofore
has claimed that they have no authority
over the States" the Under Secretary
continud, according to Mr.. Hudspeth.
This is a misnomer. They have au-
thority over States and must control
the action OF the States relative to
American rights.
when we recognize Mexico it is not
for day. or month, or year. but
probably for many, many years. and we
are not taking anything for granted
but everything must be reduced to writ
ing and must be recognized by the head
OF the Mexican Government and its leg
islative body"
The Texas representative explained
that he conferred with Mr.. Fletcher on
the general question of Mexican recoEni
ton and received assurances that The
Chamiza! zone controversy has been
kept "in mind at all times in negotiating
with the Mexican Government, and 1t Is
a part of the treaty stipulations." COM
mlssioners will have TO be appoin eel l.,
settle it. he declared the Secretary had
told him, adding that "if I control the
matter it will be settled right"
In reply to aquestion about the Mexi-
can Supreme Court decision concerning
the retroactive clause of section 27 Of
the constitution, Mr.. Hudspeth said the
Secretary answered
''The Supreme Court decision only SET
ties one matter. and that one Is that 1t
recognizes the ease OF the Texas Com
pany made prior to the enactment OF this
constitution.
''It is not preceden. for other contro-
versies of similar mat.vrs srct as sur
