rotary of State Hughes" said Sem
ator Ladd (Rep., N. d. in urging
late yesterday the immediate recog-
milton of the Obregon government,
has been as secretive in the Next
car negotiations as a European dip
lomat of the old school. His de-
mands conditional to recognition are
an offensive and unwarranted in
vasion of the sovereign rights OF
Mexico.
Il assert that there IS a close I'M
Outstanding between American oil
companies in Mexico and the depart
ment of state to disobey the laws OF
Mexico in order that Mexico may be
forced to revoke domestic legislation
and to sign a treaty distasteful to its
legally elected officials. 1t is evil
dent that we are using recognition
as a bait with which TO fish for
