THE BRIDGEPORT TIMES

Dillon is laughed at in some circles because of his innumerable stories about his intimacy with the great men of Europe, he is, in way, financial success. His first expense account sent from London totalIed b0,O00 pesos, which was paid. As he is still in London there probably will be other fat expense accounts.
 Dillon came here first as a writer for an important publication in the United States, but his more recent contributions have been for such pulp Hcations of The Nation. Theo Lowe, who was for some time a propagan- dist in New York. complained while here recently that Dr. Caturegli, when Mexioo's agent in the United States. had cut his appropriation practically 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 correspondence with London, creating the belief that he was a agent of the British gov 'ernment. He professed to know everyone worth knowing in Great Britain and eventually was able to convince President Obregon that he could be of greater service to Mexico if sent to London, where he could than depend upon the slow and un- satisfactory channel of communca- ton offered by the mails.
 His expense account of 50,000 pesos was the HrSC SuDSIdnIldl result or 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 rep resented, those hefe who are hoping for recognition feaN that the meddlers of various countriea not in sympathy with advancing the friendship be- tween the United States and Mexico may cause hitches which will bring disappointment to present agreeable expectations.
 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 i'm f1uences. Threats to resign and even offers to resign from the cabinet have been frequent, 1t is reported. It is said on good authority that the ru- mors of friction in the cabinet, which come at almost regular intervals, are not base1ess.
 Obregon Holds Cabinet
 President Obregon has held his cabinet together with an iron will, it is said, because he does not wish to add to the complications of an a1- ready difficult situation by setting amy of the cabinet members adrift, a1- though he would like to do so. These men, if allowed to resign or ex- pected from the cabinet, would prob-

UNEMPLOYMENT OF OBSTRUCTION
 THROWN IN WAY OF RECOGNITION
 OF MEXICO BY U, 5, GOVERNMENT

Mexico City, Nov. 1S-Doubt is mixed with hope among those here who wish to see the United States government come to an early agree ment with the Mexican government and grant recognition to the Obregon administration
 parently moving swiftly in the direc- tton of recognition, but there is an undercurrent of obstruction. For this reason, it is said, too much is ex- pected as a result of court interpreta- ton of Article 27 of the Constitution as not retroactive and as not confisca- tory. Enemies and opposers of the United States have wanted this inter prea ton, as they have property in- terests 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. E. J. Dillon to Eng land as an agent to work for recog- hilton in London, regardless of what Washington may or may not do, Is pointed to as a strong indication that President Obregon lis 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 government.
 Dr. MaIbran Influential
 Another man who is yielding pow erful influence, it is alleged, in ob- structing an agreement between Mex ico and the United States is the Min ister from Argentina, pr. Manuel O. E. MaIbran. 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 S Htes 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 America, and he maintained this at titude until Germany was defeated. Since then he has appeared less hos tile 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 propaganda with a free hand
 He is said to be the commandlng intellect back of President Obregon, and hack of him are intelligent Ger mans who are working out plans in Mexico which strive for the ultimate

BUYING MAP IN LONDON TAKES
 REAL PATIENCE
Would-Be Purchaser Must First Have a Pass From His Majesty's Office of Works and Then Go
 Through More Red Tape.

London, Nov. 1S-It befen that I wanted to buy a map. It was a map of Richmond Park, one of the great beauty spots on the outskirts of Lon don, the pilgrimage of every Ameri- can and the spot whither Turner pro- ceeded to paint his immortal sunsets And I discovered that the British government had for sale a perfectly charming map.
 So went to the institution known as His Majesty's Stationery Office. And certainly it did not seem to move much. Anyhow, after a long wait, a young gentleman, complete with half-consumed cigarette behind ear and out-of- elbows coat, came

 So I succumbed and duly filled in a form, giving my name in full, pri- place of birth, and was formally warned that I could not leave the building again unless same document was produced to a properly accredited official.
 Then I went up to the first floor and found three important gentlemen, who disclaimed all knowledge of the sale of maps in that building. But then I met fourth who had an in spiration.
 "You ought to see the Bailiff of the Royal Parks he said.
 And I liked this title. I had read and heard a lot about baiIiffs as peo- pie who would grab ones household goods on the smallest provocation, but it seemed that one with a title like this must be a real kindly, ex- I him. And I said: 'I want a map" He took his eyeglass out of his eye.
 When do you want tt?" he asked. "Now," said I.
 'But,'' he said, "this is really un- usual. We don't usually sell maps here on the spur of the moment. Your proper procedure is to write to us and say the nature of the map re- quired, aand then in due course we re- play stating the price of the map and informing you that on receipt of your remittance the map will be sent to you at our early convenience"

 It Is largely through these under ground channels that the drug addict now obtains his supply of "hop."

About 90 per cent. of the amount of narcotics entered for consumption in this country is used for other than medical purposes. it has been esti- mated. Although this estimate is vague.
