the purpose of convincing the British government that it should act at once in recognizing Mexico. While Dr. Dillon is laughed at in some circles because of his innumerable stories about his intimacy with the great men of Europe, he is, in a way, a financial success. His first expense account sent from London totalled 5O,OOO pesos, which was paid As he Is still in Lon. don there probably will be other fat expense accounts.
 Dillon came here first as writer for an important publication in the United States, but his more recent contributions have been for such pub lications of The Nation. TheO Lowe, who was for some time a propagan- dist in New York, complained while here recently that Dr. Centuregli, when McXico's agent in the United States, had cut his appropriation prac- tically in half so as to give a financial tid-bit to the Nation.
 DILLON CONVINCEs oBREGoN
 At first. after his arrival in Mexico, Dr. Dillon did much corresponding with London, creating the belief that h" was an agent of the British gov orumrnt He profcsscd to know every one worth knowing in Great Britain and eventually was able to convince President Obrogon that he could b" of greater service to Mexico if sent to London, where he could deal person ally with great men and rather than depend upon the slow and unsatisfac- tory channel of communication offered by the mails.
 His expense account of 50,OOO pesos was the first substantial result of his mission
 With many forces working against the United States and endeavoring to convince President Obregon that an understanding with the government at Washington is not, after all as great an advantage as has been represent ed, those here who are hoping for rec ognition fear that the meddlers of various countries not in sympathy with advancing the friendship between the United States and Mexico may cause hitches which will bring disap- pointment to present agreeable expec- tations.
 Another difficulty is friction in President Obregon's Cabinet. Some of the Cabinet Ministers are not in har- mony with President Obregon's plans. and some are under anti-American in fuences. Threats to resign and even offers 10 resign from the cabinet have been frequent, il is reported It is said on good authority that the ru- wors of friction in the Cabinet which come at almost regular intervals, are

oBREGoN HOLDS CABINET

President Obregon has held his Cabinet together with an iron will it is said because he does not wish to add 10 the complications of an already difficult situation by setting any of the Cabinet members adrift, although he would like to do SO. Three men, if allowed to resign or expelled from the Cabinet. would probably take a posi- tion in opposition to the government. and, as some have strong following and have been able to increase their strength through their position in the government, they might become ex- tremely troublesome.
 It is said that in one week recently three members of the Cabinet offered their resignations, but were persuaded to remain at their posts Adolfo de la Huerta, former Provisional President and now Secretary of the Treasury. is reported to have been anxious to leave the cabinet at one time. but is now firmly supporting General Oregon

 Nearly every American who maofs President Ohrr~on comes away w.m good impression os to the sound ness of his views and his friendly feeling toward the United States. Yet some express ncasimost because he has among his advisers men os so- cialistic Jennings, such as Mir dc Ia Huorta and Dr. Jose NaaconcoIos. rec tor of the National University. and men who arc not entirely friendly 10 the United States, such as Dr. Nal. bran.

 Dr. Catwogli was Nozicos financial agent in the United States before the appointment of Roberto V. Pesquicra, who filled that post for a short time. Both Cauregli and Po#guiora arc now interested in land development pro. iects, and it is expected that Cature- glps visit to Germany will put him in sympathy with large German coloniza- tion plans which are being worked out here and in Germany.
 The German idea, of course, is to make Mexico German and keep this country as far apart from the United States as possible.

Undercurrent 0f Obstruction
 ThrOWn m Way Of Mexican Recognition by United States

MEXICO CITY, Mex. Dec. 1. - Doubt is mixed with hope among those here who wish to see the United States government come to an early agreement with the Mexican govern ment and grant recognition to the Obregon administration.
 On the surface everything is appar- ently moving swiftly in the direction of recognition. but there is an under current of obstruction. For this req son, 1t is said, too much is expected as a result of court interpretation of Article 2 of the Constitution as not retroactive and as not confiscatory. Enemies and opposers of the United States have wanted this interpreta- tion, as they have property interests in Mexico and hope to acquire more while keeping the United States and Mexico apart.
 The fact that the Mexican govern ment has sent Dr. F. J. Dillon to England as an agent to work for rec ognition in London, regardless of what Washington may or may not do. is pointed to as strong indication that President Obregon is still under the foreign influences which have guided him in international matters from the beginning of his administration and that he has not been entirely open and frank with the United States govern ment
 DR. MAL8RAN INFLUENTIAL
 Another man who is welding pow erful influence, it is alleged, in ob- structing an agreement between Mex co and the United States is the Min ster from Argentina, pr. Manuel O. F. Malbran. He Is one of President Obregon's most intimate associates and has been his confidential adviser for some time Dr. Malbran is un- friendly to the United States. German influence in Argentina. it is said, caused his appointment as Minister to Mexico. During the World war he was strongly pro-German and anti American, and he maintained this at titude until Germany was defeated. Since then he has appeared less hostile to the Allies.
 Dr Malbran is said to have become saturated with German, anti-American ideas long before the World war, when German diplomats and trade agents were advancing the German propa- ganda with d free hand.
 He. is said to be the commanding intellect back of President Obrcgon, and back Of him are intelligent Ger mans who are working out plans in Mexico which strive for the ultimate benefit and enrichment of Germany and not of the United States.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-12-01
GERMAN INFLUENCES

The appointment of Dr Alfred Ca turegH as minister to Germany is linked with German influences in Mexico. Several months ago Dr. Ca turegIi was chosen as minister to France and was to have sailed at once for Europe He delayed going because he desired to attend to some business interests here and during this time is said to have been in closer touch with Germans here than with members O.! the French colony. Dr. Caturegli is a business man who has been able to amass fortune during the years of revolutions There is not much pros pect of getting capital on a large scale from France for development projects in Mexico, but there have been assur- ances that great interests in Germany will be able to spend millions in Mexico.
 Dr CuturegIi. who was reluctant to go to France, was quite willing to go to Germany
 Official explanation of the decision to send Dr. Caturegli to Germany in stead of France & that Germany has recognized Mexico and sent an ann G.sldo. hara. uhioh makes it uocns- sag for Npuco to have repra.rnta- tive in Germany at once. But before" rHa chang. aae made il Mas insisted u. France had recognized the NeNI. cau government. The appointment oi Dr. CaureaH as Minister to France aae based upon this supposed rncogu- tion.
