n basis that will assure recognition OF the
present government and restoration of
Mexico's credit abroad, with appropriate leg
islation to facilitate the alta inmeut of these
purposes. In his message TO Congress Pres
ident Obregon stated that the attitude Of
Mexico toward tho treaty OF amity and
commerce proposed by Secretary Hughes on
May p, 1921. Is unchanged. The aim OF
Mexico In declining to accept this treaty, he
says. Is to eliminate any reasons for MAX
ing promises that might humiliate II, and
10 continue this program until the field
IS cleared OF all obstacles to recognition,
which Will be accomplished without the
diminution Of national pride and dignity" In
other words. If nothing less than acceptance
OF the substance of said treaty will gain
recognition from the United States. Con-
GreSs must clear away the intervening OBJ
staclcs in such way as not to wound Mexi-
can pride.
The text OF this treaty has never been
made public, but II is known that the Mexi-
can government was asked to safeguard all
rights of property that could be established
by American propretors prior to the pro-
mulSatl0n of the Mexican ConStitut OF

treaty. by Mexico Although President Obre-
son has informally given assurances that
this article would not be construed retro
actively. he has studiOusly refraincd from
committing himself in AN official way to such
assurances. In the meantime, the Mexican
Supreme Court has rendered FIVE uniform
decisions in oil cases. constituting a pre-
cedent In Mexico. TO til. effect that Article
NNNll. did not apply upon the statement
of facts made in those cases, which decisions
were forwarded to Secretary Hughes in
the hope that they would be sufficiently re-
assuring on the issue of retroactivty. But
they were not. So. II Is not unlikely that
the Congress will undertake to find way
to give the additional assurances that the

truth be known and let the country act

nat the United States viii ind it both de-
