WASHINGTON. May S.--Creation
Of an international commission TO
canvass the whole field of relations
between the United States and Mex
leo was suggested in official circles
today as a possible means of reach
ing an agreement to permit Ameri-
can recognition of the Mexico City
government of General Obregon.
So far as details were revealed, it
was indicated tonight that neither
the Harding administration nor the
Obregon authorities had been for
mally committed to the commission
plan. There We're indications, how
ever. that the suggestion was being
looked upon with favor by some Of
ficials both in Washington and in the
Mexican capital. Almost a year has
elapsed since the United States SUBJ

would provide guarantees against

contribute to a better understanding
would be welcomed.
The proposal for a commission was
discussed with President Harding to-
day by Senator Bursum. Republican,
New Mexico. who said afterwards he
was confident such a plan would
prove acceptable if General Obregon
and his advisers cared to suggest it.
IN other quarters it was indicated
that some Mexican officials already
had given the suggestion serious con-
sideration. 1t was made clear during
the day, however, that whatever pro-
eedure was adopted in continuing
the negotiations, the American gov
ernment still was determined that the
guarantees against confiscation out
lined in the proposed treaty of amity
and commerce a year ago must be
given before General Obregon would
receive the formal recognition of
Washington.
