WASHINGTON. June 1o.--Investiga-
sIon OF the controversy between Major
GENERAL &. 7. Menoher, chief Of the
army AR Service. and Brigadier Cen
era1 William Mitchell. his chief aid,
whose removal is sought by the air
snief. Is expected TO develop some in
tereseing knowledge of the policy pur-
sued under the administration of Cen
eral Menoher.
IL was disclosed to-day that General
Mitchell has contended that numerous
oshcers now attached to the air service
IN hign rank were not qualified for the
posts they occupy by reason of the fact
that they are non-fiying officers.
The national defense act provides
that at least 10 per cent of each grade
below the rank of brigadier general in
the service must be actual fiiers. Sup
porters of General Mitchell in the con-
troversy assert that General Menoher
Is interpreting the national defense
act as requiring 10 per cent of the
Under this construction the air chief
Is privileged to place in administrative
positions a number of non-f1ying Off
GERS. General Mitchell, on the othe {
hand, asserts that The air service ad-
mlnistration should be in the hands OF
officers who have had actual flying ex.
perience, on the theory that they are
best equipped TO train new men and
more familiar with the actual needs of
the service.
In his investigation Secretary Weeks
is expected to have the assistance of
General Pershing, who will become
Chief of Staff of the Army July /, and
who is known to entertain some pro-
nounced ideas of the value of the air
forces of the army.

U. S. TO Stand Pat

From Ths Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 10-The Amer
lean policy toward Mexico, demanding
that the Obregon government put into
treaty form assurances that American
interests in the Mexican republic will
be secured, will not be receded from
and must be fully met if a resumption
OF diplomatic relations between the
two governments is to result.
This was made plain to-day by high
Administration spokesmen, who de-
clared that the treaty proposed con-
tanned nothing that the Mexican gov
ernment could reject as Objectionable.
Hasty acceptance of the American pro-
posal, however, IS not expected here,
although confidence was expressed to-
day that the negotiations now in prog
ress between American Charge DAT
taires Summerlin in Mexico City and
the Mexican officials eventually would
result in an amicable adjustment of
relations between the two governments.
II the Mexican government desires
to show that it is willing to give as
surances of protection to American in
terests in MISUNDERSTANDING OF the
kind that all other governments have
given in the form of treaty engage
ments--the best form of stipulating
these assurances is by a convention
leaders pointed out.
Position Made Clear
The American position, it was main
tanned, has been made clear in the
statement authorized Tuesday by Sec
retary of State Hughes, and the Mexi-
can government is aware of the proper
means of meeting the American de-
mand without embarrassment to anv
n o. L.
two nations can best be served bv
Mexico accepting as tho basis for fu-
ture intercourse clear-cut expression
on the question of the rights of all in
dividuals, and when this is given there
immediately will ensue between the
two governments sure and certain in
tercourse, instead of the uncertain
methods which now prevail.
All development in the Mexican
situation were reported to the Cabinet
to-day by Secretary Hughes, who is
understood to have expressed the
opinion that an amicable settlement
will be worked out. Attention was
directed at the Cabinet session to the
new oil taxes to be imposed on all ex-
ports, but no definite decision was
reached on the question of protesting
to the Obregon government against
these levies, which American oil men
declare to be discriminatory. In the
mean time law officers of the State De-
partment are studying the effect of the
taxes with view to possible repre-
sentations to President Obregon by
this government.
1t was disclosed to-day that in Presi-
dent Harding's campaign speeches he
developed the idea that the United
States government expected of Mexico
and ali other nations certain assur-
ances that life and property of Amer-
cans would be properly secured. 1t
was held that Mr.. Harding's pre-elec-
tion utterances outlined the American
position toward Mexico and that this
principle of protection was the basis of
the American demand for fully
executed treaty stipulating the assur-
auces desired.

 RESIGNED FROM HOUSE.

Following news announcement from Phoenix yesterday printed in a number Of state papers that George Cobbe. member of the lower house from Cochise county, had resigned 10 accept position as chief deputy county recorder of this county, Mir Cobbe today issued denial to the report
 Mir Cobbe said that he had not re signed and did not intend to do so, as under the present laws of the state a member Of the legislature could hold an appointive office. The last legis- lature through house bill No. 16 re pealed Paragraphs 45. 46, fl and AS of Chapter I, Title l. which provided that a member of the legislature could not hold office during his term.
 Furthermore, Section of the con stitution does not prevent q member Of the legislature from holding office. since it's only provisions are that No member of the legislature, during the term for which he shall have been elected, shall be appointed or elcted to any civil office of profit under this state, which shall have been crea'e3. or the emoluments of which shall have been increased. during said term"
 AS neither the office of deputy rec order or the salary has been created or changed. neither come under the constitution.
 Mir Cobbe said today he hardly ex- pected that a special session would he called by the governor, but if it is called, he expects to take leave of absence from his present position and attend the session.

Water is reported short in the Pinto and Pinedale sections. but is still plentiful in ,he neiehbor hood of Fort Apache. No prec!p.ta- ton of importance has yet fallen III the Congress Junction section much to the discouragement of sheepmen who are in the habit oi wintering their focks in that section.
 Absence Of rain and stormy weather n the Salt River valley has favored cutting and cratine lettuce and its shipment 10 eastern points has gone toward without interruption. As usual it's quality !s excellent, the recent cool nights being particularly favor able. Olives suitable for oil are still being picked and will probably con tinue for five or six weeks more, ac- cording to the demand; the crop be ing large there still remain great many on the trees Freezing of the fruit is said not 10 injure the quality of oil made ,herefrom Gotten pick ing is making excellent progress the weather having been particularly fav- orable: It is estimated that from S5 10 20 per cent of the crop has been gathered. It is the opinion Of experts that the grade Of cotton this year is better than that for several years past and is explained by the state rnent that the absence of rain per mitted the application 0. water just when needed.
