can be endless bickerinx But Mr.
Hughes insists On one Fundamental.
Failing to rrasp that fundamental
may cost General Obreeon . good
deal. The fundamental Is simply
that the Mexican constitution is or
is not confiscatory, II it isn't, then
treaty should be negotiated to
prove the point. II the Mexicaus
persist in refusing to interpret or
change their coustitutfou SO as to
remove all doubt about coniisca-
ton Of foreign property lawfully
acquired. then recognition will not
be extended until a government
arises which does feel capable Of
making the desired treaty.

American contention. The mere
fact that Mexico saws a treaty
would be in contradiction OF GER
| tain articles in the constitution is
an admission that the Mexicans
construe the famous article q, COM
plained Of by the United States as
confiscatory. Hitherto the Mexi-
cans have declined to admit that
the Mexican constitution was as
drastic as that In actual operation,
but Secretary Hughes has mAneu-
lyered, the Mexieeas IA the position
of proving his point The Mexicans
now admit that their constitution
conf,scates foreign property. They
have a way out, however. They
need not change their consultation.
They can have their supreme court
interpret the article in dispute as
not retroactive. Even then the
United States would insist on a
treaty so as to prevent any return
to earlier interpretations.
