Wants Recognition First

ANA presumably Mr. ttuRneS Is Il
good diplomat to leave n margin for
amendment, for yielding on the part of
the United States in order to save the
face of Mr.. Obregon.
One point the Mexican President is
going to make, apparently, is that this
country should recognize him first, be-
fore asking him to sign a treaty. Mr..
Hughes proposes recognition in the act
Of signing the treaty.
Virtually, from the American stand.
point, the issue is one Of twcedledum
or tweodloo. Our State Department
makes it perfectly plain that recognition
Is not the question at issue. Th" r"a!
question is whether Mexico recognizes
that principle Of international law which
guarantees the iuviolability Of property
Of other nationals.
That is the American side of The
case. The Mexican side is different,
Recognition bulks pretty large in I'll"
Mexican consciousness. The country
has been unrecognized for long time.
So great is the demand for recogni-
tion that when it was announced in
Mexico City that Obregon had refused
Hughes proposal, the Mexican press
rose in revolt and demanded to be shown
why. Mexico wants n dramatic at of
recognition, not one of these it legally
IbIOWN from Tue NlBHlllS VI luIS LltulS
that you are recognized.
Chance for Both Sides to Win
Here IL chance for n Diplomatic
victory for Obregon, iattering to the
national consciousness. Mr.. Hughes,
perhaps, can we'll afford to let him have
It, first reaching an understanding with
him that recognition will cause signing
of the treaty.
Once Mr.. Obregon sustans some con-
cession that he can show his fellow
countrymen, his constitutional objec-
tions may prove minor and inconsdcr-
able. On inspection by the Mexican
| editors, they appear less considerable
| than it seemed they might be before that
! inspection. As negotiations proceed
! they are likely to fade away still more.
Both countries desire to have rela E
tiOns restored. No other country wants
intervention. Mr, Hughes has seen

ObregOn Sends Out Feelers

There is another phase of the do
vclonmentS at Obregon's capital which
requires attention. The Mexican Pres
idcnt feels out his country through the
press. His reply to Mr.. Hughes is
vague. There are constitutional diff
culticS not described. They may be
great or small. How does the coun-
try feel about this Hughes proposition?
First. Mr.. Obrcgon lot it leak out
that he has refused to sign the Ameri-
can proposal. The reaction is not fav-
Orablc within twcnty-four hours. Th.
press demands to know the inside of the
situation and Obrcgon is forced to show
his hand. The press session at Mexico
City follows quickly. No. the editors
are satisfied Obrogon has not refused to
sign. On the contrary, he expects TO
sign after few Latin mnncuvers. The
obstacles are not insupernble.
Allow a little for the difficulties Of
the Mexican President. He cannot
appear 20 Weld right off to the big
country TO the North. He must show
them something. He must be stiff. He
must have a diplomatic victory, some
thing to prove that he is a splendid up
holder of Mcxicos dignity. Mr.. Hughes
must be forced to amend his proposals
in certain respects.
