 Such changes in operating conditions as are taking place are in favor of the independent producers as against the Steel corporation plants. Production alt around, however, is lower if anything, owing to the restricted volume of new business.
 Merchant pig iron production has con- tirued to run off faster than the output of steel works blast furnaces The total of iron produced in February was l,927 cSS tons, and daily average 6S,S24 tons. In January it was 2,4l4,753 and 77,S95 tons, respectively. Furnaces in blast on the last day of February were 15S. against 1S4 on the corresponding date the previous months In the past five months 164 fur naces have dropped out of production.
 Foundry operations are on an average basis of 2S per cent of capacity in the dense industrial district embraced by the states of Ohio. Michigan Indiana, north western Pennsylvania and western New York. This condition has been disclosed by very comprehensive survey just completed. It is significant in view of the reports of returning activity to the automotive industry that Michigan makes the poorest showing.

Washington, March 3. - (Special) )-- There was cynical laughter in the Senate when the committee on privf- leges and elections, headed by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, and dominated by a militant republican majority, made it's report regarding the almost criminal expenditures by prominent republi- cans, including Warren c. Harding, in Q mad scramble to purchase the presi- dential nomination.
 The report was. delayed until such time that it's effect would be nil. Its disclosures, furthermore, were re- garded as proof positive that the va rious republican candidates, bell bent in their purpose. paid no attention to the threat ever held held out by the committee that any attempt to debauch delegates by promiscuous use of money would be ruthlessly committed to the knowledge of an already indig- nant public.

One republican candidate.

 The only democratic pre- conven-

 the nomination, spent only $22,- 900 in effort to persuade delegates to support him, a sum which ap- pears trivial in comparison with that of the successful republican
 candidate, Warren G. Harding, who enriched the patriots behind his snow white standard in a sum approximating S113.000

RECOGNITION
TERMS READY
PRESIDENT HARDING OUTLINES
TREATY TERMS FOR PRES
ENTATION TO MEXICO.
MEXICO READY TO SIGN
CONDITIONS BASED ON RECON-
MENDATIoNs OF SECRETARY
OF INTERIOR FALL.
western Newspaper Union New. ssrs,

Washington. May 23.-A definite
statement outlining cosditions on
which the United States would extend
recognition to the Mexican government
has been prepared for submission to
President Obregon.
Conditions for recognition, ii is I'M
derstood. are practically identical with
recommendations made by Secretary
Fall in his report to Congress as chair
man of u subcommittee of the Senate
foreign relations committee.
The communication is said to insist
that Obregon must sign II document
giving assurances that Americans and
their interests will be s~afeguarded In
Mexico before the United States will
consider resumption of formal rela-
lions.
If such assurances are given, ii is
believed, Henry p. Fletcher, under
secretary of state, who was ambassa-
dor to Mexico under Wilson until he
resigned, will be designated to repre-
sent the United States in drafting a
treaty.
The communication contains nothing
which car justify its being character
lied as an ultimatum, but, it is under
stood, Obregon will be left in no doubt
as to the determination of the Ameri-
can administration to see that Ameri-
can interests are not indefinitely dis
eliminated against.
1t is said to have been prepared in
collaboration with Secretary Fall.
Among conditions set forth are:
Elimination of provisions of Articles
81 of the Mexican constitution relat-
soil rights insofar as they affect ten
ure of land to which title was OBJ
tanned prior to the adoption of the
constitution in 1917.
Elimination of the provisions which
deprive Americans of the right of dip
lomatic appeal in cases where prop
erty is acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans acquiring and own
ing property within n certain zone
along the Mexican coasts and inter
national boundaries.
Assurance that Article 80, providing
for the expulsion of foreigners, will
not be applied to Americans without
filing charges and opportunity of n
fair tridl.
Modification of the provisions gov
erning religious worship in such man
ner that American clergy shall have
the right to exercise functions usual
in their denominations.
1t is also suggested that the two
governments agree to the creation of
n mixed court for the adjudication of
claims.
Some optimism is expressed by Of
ficials regarding Obregon's reception
Of the decision. but in other quarters
the opinion prevails that he may sub
NIT counter proposals, and If they are
rejected. refuse to sign.
