BELIEVES
MEXICAN TANCLE
Is NEARING END
Declares Relations Be-
tween Governments Are
Becoming Favorable.

President Harding declared st his
semi-weekly conference with the
newspaper correspondents yesterday
afternoon that the. trend of events
in connection with the relations be-
tween this government and Mexico
were becoming more favorable all
the IIJns.
The President declined to 60 fur
ther into detail. but II was plainly
apparent that recent developments
have removed any serious appre-
hension which may have obtained
with regard to the outlook for q
satisfactory adjustment Of the Mex
lean problem.
Await -On MEMS Arrival.
The situation Is expected to crys-
tallize into definite action as soon
as the administration here has had
ar opportunity to hear the heads Of
the oil companies who recently con-
cluded successful negotiations with
the Mexican government on the tax
alton question. These officials now
are en- route from Mexico City to
the American border. and are ex-
pected to come direct to WASH
ington.
Distinct optimism prevails at the
Mexican Embassy. where Manuel
Tellex Is acting as charge d'affaires.
Mr.. Teller said yesterday: Il am
extremely hopeful of early and full
recognition. All my negotiations
with the government here have been
eminently satisfactory. and am
confident that at an early date there
will be reached an agreement
mutually satisfactory"
Studies ObreEon's Message.
when President Harding sailed on
the Mayhower last Saturday for a
weekend and Labor Day cruise.
morning, he had available for the
first time the full text of President
Obregon's recent message to the
Mexican congress bearing on Mexi-
can relations with the United States.
While President Obregon did state
that he thought the preliminary
treaty which had been proposed by
the American government was un-
necessary and that he would oppose
acceptance of II because II would
run counter to certain provisions OF
the Mexican constitution. his state
ments concerning the general situa-
ton were regarded as entirely sat
| isfactory.
Congress Looks for Settlement.
The one point in the Mexican
presidents message which seems to
meet the main contention Of tht
State Department is that the recent
| decision of the MeXica Supreme
Court, constituting Article % of the
constitution adopted during the
Carranza regime and still in force
definitely declares 1t to be non-re-
| troactive.
The attitude of Congress also Is
known to be favorable towards an
l~early settlement with Mexico.
