outlining the conditions upon whltN
the United States would extend reeog4

to be insistence that Obregon must

dor to Mexico for a time under the
| Wilson administration. will be desig
! mated to represent the United StaLes
| in drafting treaty.
| The communication contains nothing
which can justify its being character
lied as an ultimatum but. il is under
stood, 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

| erty Is acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans acquiring and own
| ing property within certain zone
| along the Mexican coasts and inter-
| national boundaries.

Thomas r. Williams. president of the

citation, today called upon all members
of the organization, as well as pub
fishers generally, to use their efforts to
defeat House bill No. 650S, on the
ground that mo such miscbievous in =
reference with press freedom has ever
before been seriously proposed in this

"The bill" said Mr.. Williams in n
statement, prohibits publication in

to gambling Ostensibly aimed at racing
news. it would be equally applicable to
large quantity or variety of financial
and other news. such as reports OF bank
clcarings, which have been gambled on

THE unprecedented censorship in =
volved by the bill itself is more than
sufficient warrant for its defeat. Its EN-
barge on so much news required for the
proper information of business interests
is strong additional reason"
