INSIST ON SIGNATURE
If Agreement Is Reached
Fletcher May Be Sent to
Help Draft Treaty.
PLAN APPROVED BY FALL
Practically Identical With Re
port Made by Him at Last
Session of Congress.

WAsHINGToN. May 22.-Terms of the
conditions upon which the United States
would extend recognition to the Obregon
Government of Mexico, to be delivered
to President Obregon by George I. sum
merlin, counsellor OF the American En-
bassy at Mexico City, are practically
identical with the commentators
made by Secretary Fall in his report at
the last session Of Congress as chairman
of a subcommittee of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee. which invesu-
gated the Mexican question.
The important feature of the commu-
nication is said to be the insistence tnat
Obregon must sign some document slV-
ing assurances that Americans and their
interests will be properly safeguarded in
Mexico before the United States will
consider the resumption of formal rela-
tions with that country. If such assur-
ances are given it is believed that Henry
p. Fletcher, under-Secretary of state,
who was Ambassador to Mexico for a
time under the Wilson Administration
until he resigned because of disapproval
of that Administration policy toward
Mexico. will be designated to represent
the United States in drafting a treaty.
The communication which Mr. sum
merlin VIII deliver to Gen. Obregon con-
tains nothing which can justify its being
characterized as an ultimatum. but 1t Is
understood the Mexican Executive Will
be left in no doubt as to the determine
ton of the American Administration TO
see that American interests are not in
definitely Disseminated against. 1t Is
said to have been prepared not only
with the knowledge of Secretary Fall
but in collaboration with him.
Among the conditions set forth are:
Elimination of those provisions OF
Article 81 of the Mexican Constitution
relating to the naturalization of the sub
soil rights in so far as they affect the
tenure of land to which title was OBJ
tanned prior to the adoption Of the Con-
stitution in 1917.
Elimination of the provisions which
deprive Americans of the right of diplo-
matte appeal in cases where property is
acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans acquiring and own
ing property within a certain zone
along the Mexican coasts and interna-
tional boundaries.
Assurance that Article SO of the Con-
stitution providing for the expulsion OF
''pernicious foreigners" will not be ap-
piled to Americans without the filing of
charges and the opportunity of a fair
trial.
1t also is suggested that the two Gov
ernments agree to the creation of a
mixed court for the adjudication OF
claims. ~
1t is pointed out that although Obre-
gon desires recognition of the United
States he probably will not seek 1t at
the cost of being swept from the Presi-
dency by acceding to demands which

SHUTS WANTS U. S.
SEALON JAP TREATY
FavOrs Renewal of Alliance
With Great Britain Provided
America Is Satisfied.

CAPE TowN, May 22.--Jan Christian
SHUTS, Premier of the Union of South
Africa, in referring to the imperial con-
ference in London. declared himself In
favor of a renewal of the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty if America could be salts
fed that no harm to her interests could
follow from it's renewal"
He declared that the cardinal prin-
ciple of South Africa should be to obtain
as far as possible true understanding
and cooperation between the British En-
pire and the United States.
when / look at the question as a
whole and the interests for which we
stand" he said. 'it seems to me to be
vital that every effort should be made
TO keep in touch and in sympathetic con-
tact with the great American Republic"
Premier Hughes of Australia has been
quoted much to the same effect as Pre-
mier Smuts. "Australia's hope he
said, "is that the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance be renewed in some such form and
be modified. if that should be deemed
proper. as will be acceptable to Great
Britain, to America, to Japan and to
ourselves"
Prime Minister Massey of New Zea-
land. discussing that Dominion's atu-
tude toward the Anglo-Japanese treaty,
declared that the first consideration
must be the retention of the right to
choose ones own fellow citizens. Pro-
vided that this right was not disturbed,
he thought that Great Britain had
much to gain and little to lose by its
renewal.
The Toronto Globe, summing UP what
it considers Canada's attitude, said
'fViscount Kato and the Japanese i'm
perialists are not men in whose hands
the Canadian people desire to place the
power to involve the Dominion in a
state of war. either in the Far East or
within our own borders. Canada's vote
should be cast against renewal Of the
Japanese alliance. In the changed con-
dition of world affairs it has become a
dangerous pact"

LORD ROBERT CECIL
ARGUES FOR LEAGUE
Says u. S. Action Should Not
Change British Attitude.

LONDON, May 22.--I>ord Robert Cecil
in a letter to the London Times argues
that the fact that America declines to
have anything to do with the League OF
Nations, directly or indirectly. ought not
TO change the British attitude toward
the league. He contends that, SO far
from the league being the outcome Of
impractical idealism. it is a sober. seri-
Gus attempt to safeguard mankind from
the horrors OF the late war, than which
no more rigidiy practical object was con-
ceivable.
Outlining the vast work the league has
already accomplished or is achieving in
numerous fields of activity, including the
international Court of Justice, he says-
This has been accomplished not only
without the assistance OF the United
States, but in the absence also OF Ger
NJ ny and Austria, and in time Of ex-
treme difficulty Doubtless the league
is far from perfect, and more might have
been done, but its history thus far Is
heartening We lament the absence OF
Russia and still more of the United
States. The sooner we get their help
the more effectually We could do our
work.
TN the meantime let us thank God
and take courage"

The most excited group of investors

company controlling the inventions by
NJ Bassett, a French chemical engineer,

lin making steel from rough iron ore

Preparations are being made to con-

and if they are successful they will
mean the end of present methods of
steel making, as M. Bassett is confident
he can produce the finest steel at third
the cost of the Bessemer process.
Before the inventor-chemist made his
discovery, the details of which are be-
ing kept secret. he formed a stock COM
pany among his friends with capital
OF about 10000 francs. AS soon as his
Ia boratory success was announced the
shares of this company promptly jumped

of them are waiting for bigger profits.

BLAMES COSTLY PEACE
ON GERMAN MINISTRY

BERLIN. May 22.-Mathias Erzberger,
former vice-Chancellor, writing in the
Ta0ebldtt to-day. says that Germany
has not the treaty of Versailles to thank
for her expensive peace" but rather
the course pursued by the German Min
istry during the last ten months. He
blames the unfortunate. purposeless
politics. particularly Foreign Minister
Simons's actions in London, which in
creased Germany's bill by 10000, 600, 900
gold marks through useless delay.
He likens the situation to that follow
ing the Franco-Prussian war, when, he
said, bad politics also immeasurably in
creased Frances bill.

writes; we're paying for the Simons
Ministry and not in consequence of the

opponents at home TO charge that he

Analysis of reports to the State De-

that the radical elements and political
malcontents would make his act their
excuse for renewed opposition.
Failure to sign an agreement with
the United States would bring TO Obre-
gon, it is believed, almost as serious a
danger. since there is another party,
