BIGGEST STEP FOR PEACE.

The promise OF President Obregon
that Mexico will make satisfactory
settlement of all her foreign inde-bt-
edness and that the lives and property
of foreigners will be accorded fun
governmental protection marks the
greatest single step that has been
taken in months toward recognition
OF his government by ,the United
States, IT was said here today.
The memorandum from Mexico
City containing these assurances is
understood to he in possession of the
State Department and in all proba-
bility will form the basis for discus
sion OF the Mexican problem In the
Cabinet meeting this week.
The huge sums which Mexico owes
in foreign financial quarters and the
comparative apathy with which va
rious Mexican governments have re-
garded them have constituted one OF
the chief bars to recognition before.
The administration is proceeding
with extreme caution in the solution
OF the Mexican question.

ALIENS HERDED IN SHIPS
BARRED U. S. ENTRANCE

The plight of hundreds of immi-
grants now in New York and Boston
on board steamships, who are barred
from entrance to the United States
by the immigration restriction bill,

tsry Of Labor Davis today.

ted by the law, has already been filled

to beat the barrier by dumping large
numbers of immigrants in the United
States before the law became effec-
tive.
Representatives of the steamship
companies, which must return the
immigrants to native lands without
cost IL they are denied entrance, to-
day appealed to Secretary Davis for
relief.
