Governor Lind believes Americans
have nothing to fear from the IA.
nous Article 81 of the Mexican con.
stitutioh. Under the old Spanish
law. which existed in some parts OF
the United States until repealed by
statute, he explained. all mineral
wealth was the property Of the state.
As a result OF the Vaccinations OF
Lord Cowdray. British Oil king, who
he said. dominated the old cientifico
regime OF Porfirio Diaz, this law was
repealed.
When the liberal element, of
which Carranza became the head. re.
volted against the Diaz regime, they
attempted to restore the rights OF
Mexicans which had been usurped
by foreign oil interests, hence article
27, declaring that all sub soil rights
were the property Of the state. he
said.
"Mexicans never objected to this
article" Mr.. Lind continued, but
Americans who had acquired oil
lands in the interim did object, and
don't blame them. Assurances
have been given, however. that these
rights would not be confiscated. and
they never were conIiscated."

The United States should &C.
cept the assurances Of President
Obregon at their face value and
extend immediate recognition to
the Mexican government.
John Lind, former governor
of Minnesota, and for more than
a year the special envoy of Presi-
dent Wilson in Mexico, today ex-
pressed this view in an exclusive
Interview granted international
News Service.
Asks Common Sense.
Secretary OF State Hughes and
President Obregon have arrived ut an
impasse, through no fault OF their
own, but as a result OF inherited diff.
ficulties, the governor declared. This
situation requires the exercise OF
common horse sense aud plain
good neighbarliness rather than any
nice application Of the principles of
international law" he asserted.
Neither Mexicans nor Americans
are entirely to blame for present con-
ditions, Mr.. Lind said. The real
problem is not to fix the blame, but
to find the most expedient method Of
bringing about a resumption Of nor
NAL relations between the two gov.
ernments so necessary for the well
'are OF both.
I'VE should treat President Obre.
gon as a good neighbor whose whole
future is wrapped up with our own"

at your word. II you mean what
you say you are entitled to my con-
fidence and esteem We could then

ernment, knowing that recognition

live up to his announced Intentions.
