EFFORT TO
 ARRANGE SUITABLE
 PACT WITH MEXICO
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 7.-Although an impasse apparently exists between the Mexican and United States gov ernments on recognition of Mexico due to the Mexican governments re- fusal to sign a treaty of amity and commerce as a prior act, expressions of belief are general here that some thing is going on behind the scenes in an attempt to break the deadlock but at the same time to place neither nation in the light of receding from its original position.
 The loeal newspapers, quoting both American and Mexican sources. as sert a new basis for an interchange of ideas between George T. Summer lin. American charge d'affaires and Senor Pani. Mexican foreign secre- tary, is being established.
 Mir. Summerlin. denying newspaper announcements that he had received instructions from Secretary Hughes to take up the matter of the recog- milton of Mexico along new lines, told The Associated Press that so far as he was concerned, the question of recognition remained where it had been and that he had made no rep resentations to the foreign office here.
 Much is being made by political observers of the events of the last 10 days the decision of the supreme court on the constitution as it affects oil. and the conference be- tween American oil men and Mexican officials. The supreme courts, de- cision, which is construed here as de- fining article 27 of the constitution as non-retroactive, has not been for mally published.
 The understanding is that the text of the decision will not be given out for another 10 days.
 The return to New York of the heads of the five oil companies is expected here to result shortly in the publication of the detailed terms o1 e1e agreement which is construed as coissaining clements which will con triburs- to a speedy clearing up oi the international situation. Loca | newspapers. persist in expressions O. the belief that something more thar taxes was talked of and that ths American oil men will make some | definite recommendation to Wash ington.
 That the conference terminated amicably seemingly is testified to b. | the payment within the last two day: of more than 5,000,O00 pesos in taxe l by delinquent oil companies. and th' | immediate resumption of work in tn | Tampico oil fields.

 It was to assist in securing this advance that the Arizona Pimacotton association last Saturday wired Dwight B. Heard after he had left Washington to return and appear be- fore the board. Mfr. Heard was in Washington at the time of the enact ment of the law authorizing the board to extend such credits. and he then put in an application in behalf of the cotton growers of Arizona
 Good News to Growers
 There was much quiet satisfaction yesterday among the officials and members of the Arizona Pimacotton Growers when announcement was made that the War Finance Corpor- alton had granted the application of the association for a loan or advance of s1.20o. 100000.
 Great credit is due to number of people for the securing of this loan for the cotton growers" said an of ficial of the association last night. but nDst emphatic credit should be given to the president of the organi- zation. Dwight B. Heard
 After having ably assisted the president of the American Cotton Growers Exchange, Carl Williams, and our national counsel. Aaron Sa- piro, in combating the opposition and getting the law passed. Mir. Heard was on the job bright and early the next morning and filed the first application under the new law, in behalf of our organization.
 Then, his family having arrived. and ready to come home. Mir. Heard. at the request of the association, stayed over another week and saw the application through.
 This government money comes at per cent interest rate, and the last of it does not have to be paid, if marketing should take that long. until July 1, 1922. There are a few legal formalities yet to be complied with before the money will be avail able. but they will not take long. The important thing is that the ap- plication has been granted.
 Other Loans Made
 With this loan to the Arizona Pimacotton Growers. the War Ff- nance has granted loans to all the cooperative cotton marketing asso- citations, all of them being members | of the American Cotton Growers Exchange, the organization that is really responsible for the passage of the law under which our application was granted
 The Mississippi. Oklahoma and ! Texas association were granted loans under the export provisions of the old law, and the Arizona organiza- tion is very fortunate in having got- ten through the first application under the new law, and out of the new billion dollar fund.
 The money will be loaned to the grower members of the association at the rate of 15 cents per pound on sinned cotton, basis number three or better, on a total of 15,OO0 bales of association cotton, thus enabling the cotton to be sold on merchandising basis"

CLOSING COLLAPSE
 FOLLOWS BIC RISE
 |NCOTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The cotton market collapsed today after fu- rious opening in which futures showed advances of 13O to 172 points, some soaring as high as 1SS points above yesterdays close. The violent break sent prices down 200 points, the limit permitted for any one days fluctuations. The close was weak at the days low, october finishing at 1850 and January at 1875.
 The break came after quotations crossed 21 cents a pound for all months and exceeded P cents for distant deliveries. The rise was at tributed partly to another sensational Liverpool advance. Tie drop started when it became apparent big inter ests, which had bought at much lower figures, were letting go their cotton.
 Prices crumpled under the strain of large offerings in the last hour until the trading limits were reached.
