Recognition of Mexico

has been no modification in substance
of the American position on Mexico,
namely that guarantees and safe
guards for American interests in
Mexico must be given.
All has been made plain to Mexico.

between Secretary Hughes and MeXi-

but also in a recent communication
from this government to Mexico-part

But, that statement should not be
interpreted as meaning that the Unit
ed States is on the verge of extending
recognition to the Obregon govern
ment of Mexico, for despite the prog
ress made by President Oregon, the
things that this country is asking of
Mexico have not yet actually been ac-
compIished.
1t was officially stated that there
two countries in an effort to settle
finally the existing difficulties.
There are many important questions
at issue which Mexico will have to dis
pose OF satisfactorily so as actually
10 accomplish the guarantees insisted
upon by this government.
Most important is the possible re-
troactivity of Article 27 of the Mexican
Constitution, upon which have been
based the confscatory actions of Mex
leo against American oil lands, and
which constitutes the heart of the
whole issue of confiscation between the
two nations.
The treaty proposed by the Ameri-
"an government over a year ago would
have afforded guarantees against q
retroactive application of the article
20 Americn lands. President Oregon,
although informally approving the
substance of the proposed treaty in
letters to President Harding. declared
that he did not have the authority to
negotiate a treaty like that 1t was
said that the Mexican congress would
define the non-retroactivity of Article
- But this has not been done.
The texts of five decisions of the
Mexican Supreme Court purporting to
establish the non-retroactivity of Ar
ticle p have just been delivered to the
state Department, but there is no GER
tainty that these are satisfactory.
Finance Minister de la Huerta re-
Gently reached an agreement in New
York with the international bankers
for the shouldering by the Oregon
government Of MeXico's external debt
The question of the Mexican bonds held
by American citizens and other ma
tionals, and on which there has been
paid no interest for years, is an inn

tween de la Huerta and the bankers.
however, must be approved by Presi-
dent Oregon and the Mexican con-
gress, according to the understand
ing here.
Other vital questions that must be
settled include the confiscation of
agrarian lands in Mexico, and the
satisfaction of American claims for
losses Of life and property incident to
revolutions in Mexico.
