HUGHES DESIRES
MORE DEEDS, LESS
WORDS BY MEXICO
Wants More than Promise of
Protection to Americans
COMPENSATION IS SOUGHT
Secretary of State Calls Atten-
ton to 0bregon's Policy
Of Confiscation
COMPENSATION IS SOUGHT

Mexico City, Aug. s (By the AS
ISOLATED Press) Mexico again has
been told by Charles Il. Hughes, the
American secretary OF state, that
Mexlco's accomplishments regarding
guarantees for American properties
and interests must be more Of deeds
and less of words If American recog.
milton Is to be extended to Mexico,
according to the Excelsior.
A communication to this effect, the
paper says, was delivered by
George r. Summerlln, the American
charge d'affaires, to Foreign Minis.
ter Pani last Thursday, in answer
to the Mexican foreign office notes
of May 4 and "a, in which 1t was as
serted that Mexico would provide
the guarantees aimed to be secured
by a treaty OF amity and commerce
and insisted upon by the State "
partment at Washington.
IL is understood that Mr.. Hughes
while insisting on a treaty points
out that II in nowise shall impugn
Mexican sovereignty nor offend
Mexican national pride or dignity
The letter is said to cal attention to
the apparent confscatory program
which has been carried out during
TIE Obregon administration against
American property owners, and to s -
that until fair and reasonable com
pensation Is provided formal dlplo-
matte relations between the United
States and Mexico can not prevail.

special racks that will enable the pur
chaser to see at a glance the quality

! for selection unequaled in any Other
system of merchandising.
The self service plan has two ad
vantages, The display feature is at
tractive and, in addition, there is 8
reduction of overhead expense thai
