Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HnRALD.
New York Herald Bureau.l
Washington. ID. c.. July 20.
Recognition Of Mexico on the basis
of the concrete results achieved by the
Government Of President Obregon
would be as dangerous and unwar-
ranted to-day, so far as American
vested interests and valid rights are
concerned, as it would have been when
the Harding Administration came into
power.
That this. in effect, is the view OF
the State Department, was officially
set forth to-day in an effort to put to
rest much loose talk on the question
Of recognition and to Offset the at
tempts Of various interests to STAN
pede the Administration into a move
to recognize the present Mexican re-
gime.
Propaganda and charges Of coercive
action toward Mexico on the part of
this Government, it was stated, will not
influence the State Department.
In connection with the restatement of
Americas position, 1t was asserted there
was no ground for the charges made in
the United States Senate yesterday by
Senator Ladd (Rep.. ". d., that there
existed IAN unholy alliance between our
State Department and certain sinister
oil interests which have not only ex-
plotted the natural resources Of Mexico
but have also interfered in her govern
mental affairs"

eign dealings. There is no basis for the
belief that the agreement constitutes in
any way step toward recognition. 1t
is still up in the air
Second. The same Characterization ap-
plies to the agreement with the oil in
terests. 1t has been negotiated but not
ratified and ratification faces the same
difficulties that faced the treaty of
anlity and commerce which this Gov
ernment proposed.
Third. In reference TO the decisions of
the Supreme Court OF Mexico. which
were said TO confirm the validity OF

Fourth. The difficulties that have
arisen over the Mexican agrarian laws
have recently added an additional ele-
ment to the troubles over oil and mineral
rights. This Government does not OBJ
ject TO any policy OF appropriation Mex
leo may inaueurate. but II does require
and insist that appropriation shall have
the meaning it always has had In intees
national law and that full value shall
be given for property appropriated.
Otherwise II becomes a plain case of
-confiscation.

titles" secured In good faith prior TO the
enactment OF the Constitution OF 1917,
the United States is still in the dark.
Only one decision, made over a year
ago, has come 10 the attention OF this
Government and an analysis OF IL re-
vealed that II was unsatisfactory. for
while it did maintain the title in ques-
tion 1t did not specify the kind OF titles
TO which II would be applicable. The
State Department Is unwilling TO make
any bets on a dark horse" and the
Supreme Court decisions are in this
category.

REPORT LENINE IMPROVING.

Moscow, July 10 (Associated Press).
AT workmen's meeting to-day Presi-
dent Zinovieff of the Central Committee
of the Third Internationale. made de-
cidedly reassuring announcement as to
the condition of Premier Lenine. 1.-The
Premier is not only recuperating. but
has almost completely recovered" he
said. Loud cheers and applause greeted
the announcement.
The New York herald., 1922-07-21

would be presumptive evidence that any
man who had a stolen car in his possess
sion did not take the trouble to find out
about It's title. The trouble now Is that
automobiles are all registered In differ
ent ways. They are registered In the
police departments in cities. Five cars
can be stolen. their numbers mutilated
and turned out with different numbers
and there is absolutely no Identification
OF any of the five cars.
That is the difficulty as the law stands
and 1t will remain a difficulty with all
our State legislation in connection with
this matter. I do not see any way to
eliminate 1t. I do not see that there is
any danger In the creation OF a new
Federal bureau. Something must be
done. In New York city nearly every
one of the major crimes committed, like
murder robbery or burglary. has con-
nected with 1t a stolen automobile. The
crime is committed and then we find the
wrecked car"
Opposes Federal Plan.
Melvin T. Bender. counsel of the New
York State Automobile Association, is
one of the principal opponents of the
Todd plan of checking the automobile
thief through Federal legislation.
Il believe that this problem should be
solved through uniform State legisla-
tion." Mr.. Bender said. ITO give the
Federal Government record Of all cars
would simply result In turning over to
1t "a means of further taxing AUTOMOBILE
lists. Conferences are now going on
among the automobile bureaus of this
State. Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Mary
land. Ohio and all Of the New England
States. If they agree on a uniform law
all the rest Of the States will quickly fol-
low suit.
II believe that careful study will have
to be made to get a practical. workable
remedy. There may be some good feat
ures Of the Mills branding bill. but in
It's present shape 1t will prove a nui-
sance to every automobilist and it con
tains no practical provisions for working
out what It seeks to do

Plan Favored by stoeckel.
'T believe that an effective bill car
be drawn along these lines:
1. Standardizing the position of
the manufacturers number requiring
on each car a makers number. re-
gardless of whether 1t has an engine
number and requiring the manufac-
turer to take such numbers as are
assigned to him by the Federal Gov
ernment so there will be a uniform
system of issuing numbers. Such
numbers should be placed on a vital
part of the car In such manner that
removal Of the number would destroy
the part.
2. This factory number will not
in itself, even IL standardized, pre-
vent theft or disposition Of the car
after theft. There must be check
up OF registration, and this is the
most difficult part of the problem.
MY suggestion Is that the Federal
Government require Federal char
ter for each motor vehicle put out.
the charter or license to give full
description Of the car and the num-
ber Of its parts. One copy Of this
charter would go to the agent of the
manufacturer at the time Of the ship
ment of the car. transfers thereafter
to be riders which. when executed
properly, will transfer the car from
the dealer to tho purchaser A
series of such transfer riders can be
executed until the car is junked.
The charter should be filed with the
State registering the motor, and
when transfer of the motor Is made
from one State to another the docu-
ment should be transferred also. All
items. such as additional bills of sale
and other transfers. can be provided
for under this system.
.I am certain that adoption of sucl
a plan would make difficult the stealing
of automobiles, their transfer from one
State to another. their shipment ovel
railroads or steamships and accomplish
the results at which the bill now before
