Creation Of An International
Commission to Canvass
the Whole Field Is Pro-
posed at Washington.
PLAN VIEWED WITH
FAVOR BY OFFICIALS
Is Suggested As a Possible
Means of Reaching An
Agreement to Permit Rec
ognition By America.
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, May s. -- Creation
of an international commission TO
canvass the whole field of relations
between the United States and
Mexico was suggested in official
circles today as possible means
of reaching an agreement to per-
nit American recognition OF the
Mexico City government of Gem
eral Obregon.
SO far as details were revealed
it was indicated tonight that neith-
er the Harding administration nor
the Obregon authorities had been
formally committed to the commits
sion plan. There were indications.
however, that the suggestion was
being looked upon with favor by
some officials. both in Washington
and in the Mexican capital. AL
most year has elapsed since the
United States submitted to Gen
eral Obregon the proposed treaty
OF amity and commerce which
would provide guarantees against
the Mexican confiscatory decrees
of recent years, and would auto
matically accord the Obregon gov
ernment full recognition, In the
negotiations which have followed
this proposal. no basis of agree
ment has yet been found and there
have been intimations on both sides
that any proposed method Of pro-
cedure which would contribute to
a better understanding would be
welcomed.
Bursum Secs Harding.
The proposal for commission
was discussed with President Hard
ing today by Senator Bursum, re-
publican, New Mexico, who said
afterwards he was confident such
plan would prove acceptable il
General Obregon and his advisers
cared to suggest it, FIn other quar-
ters it was indicated that some
Mexican officials already had Civ
en- the suggestion serious consid-
Grafton. IT was made clear during
the day. however. that whatever
procedure was adopted in continu-
ing the negotiations. the American
government still was determines
that the guarantees against con-
fiscation, outlined in the proposed
treaty of amity and commerce
wear ago must be given before
General Obregon would receive the
formal recognition of Washington.
