u. S. Wins Its Fight
With Mexico on
Disposal Of Lands

WASHINGTON, April 70 The
United States has won in an impor-
tant diplomatic fight with the Obre-
gon government of Mexico, accord
ing to state department advices to-
day.
1t was learned today that the de-
partment had protested to the Mex
lean government against steps to ex-
propriate valuable American farm
ing land in that country for division
among Mexican peasants.
Secretary Of state Hughes has
now been advised by American
Charge d'Affaires Summerlin, in
Mexico City tina, Obregon had given
assurances that no American or 9TH
er foreign property would be dis
turbed in this proposed appropriation
Of land.
The assurances were not given to
Summerlin himself. but were made
to another foreign diplomat in Mex
leo City. Since all foreign property
in Mexico was involved in the ex-
preparation plans of Obregon, these
assurances are considered definite by
the state department.
The land problem is an old and ir-
ritating one in Mexico. The Car
rama constitution of 1917 granted a
provision for distribution Of land to
the peasants, but this promise was
never carried out. The new Mexican
regime, both under Provisional Pres
ident De La Huerta and President
Obregon, however, declared their in
tention Of effecting this land divi-
sion.
Action was taken by the Mexican
government to appropriate Ameri-
can property in the states of More
los and Vera Cruz. Damages were
to be paid by the Mexican govern
ment. but the plan was unsatisfac-
tory as only the assessed value was
to be paid to the deprived property
owners

SO. Is there an animal flower?
