PROPOSED U. s. TREATY CANNOT
 BE. SIGNED UP Mexico Makes Formal State ment Concerning Latest
 Amity Treaty. PRESIDENT OBRECON
 GIVEN NO AUTHORITY Mexican Foreign Office Says Commercial Treaty Is One
 to Be Desired.

MEXICO CITY, June g. = The Presidential office, in a statement this afternoon, says the formers sig nature to an amity treaty between Merico and the United States, as a condition for recognition of the ad- ministration, is impossible.
 The Foreign Office, also in a statement, says a commercial treaty is desirable but the Mexican Presi- dent is not empowered to conclude 8 treaty of a political nature as is demanded by the United States.
 The treaty proposed by the United States and submitted to President Obregon is that he must sign a document giving assurances that Americans and their interests will be safeguarded in Mexico before the United States will consider resump- tion of formal relations.
 If such assurances were given, it is believed Henry P. Fletcher, Under Secretary of State, who was Ambas; sador to- Mexico under Wilson until he resigned, will be designated to represent the United States, making final arrangements.
 The communication sent to Obre- gon from Washington contains noth- ing which can justify its being characterized as an ultimatum, but it is understood Obregon will be left in no doubt as to the determination of the American administration to see that American interests are not indefinitely discriminated against. It is said to have been prepared in collaboration with Secretary Fall.
 Among Conditions set forth are:
 Elimination of provisions of Ar ticles tweny-seven of the Mexican Constitution relating to the nation- alization of the sub-soil rights in so far as they affect tenure of land to- which title was obtained prior to the, adoption of the Constitution in 1917.
 Elimination of the provisions which deprive Americans, of the right of diplomatic appeal in cases where property is acquired.
 Modification of the provisions which prevent Americans acquiring and owning property within cer- tain zone along the Mexican coasts and international boundaries.
 Assurance that Article B provid- ing for the expulsion of "pernicious foreigners" will not be applied to Americans with filing charges and opportunity of a fair trial.
 Modification of the provisions
