Mexico as menacing the stability OF
the Obregon government.
1t was learned from authoritative
quarters that negotiations have been
going on for some time between the
two countries in an effort to reach a
settlement which would allow Amer
!can recognition OF obregon.
The United States Is still stand
ing by its original proposal for a
new commercial treaty between the
United states and Mexico. which
would safeguard American rights
and effect recognition Of the Mexi-
can government. This proposal was
never accepted by President Obre-
gon. who took the stand that Mex
leo must first be recognized before
entering any treaty with the United
States.
II was revealed that about four
weeks ago the administration had
strong hope that such a settlement
could be reached
This hope, II was said. was based
on certain proposals that had been
made on behalf OF Mexico. How
ever, II has since been found. ac-
cording TO this authority. that these
proposals were not made on proper
authority OF the Obregon govern
ment.
II Is declared by high ohicials OF
the American government that self
constituted representatives and
spokesmen OF the two governments
had aggravated the situation
through their activities and Il was
stated that the United States Is act
ing only through the usual diplo-
matte channels.

weepinc Freshmen; Miss Rowan Nc
Hugh. the naughty Senior; Miss Alice
Pruitt. The naughty Sophomore; and
Miss Margaret Black the kind
Junior. Miss Black gave out the
presents which the Freshmen had
prepared for there big sisters.
Everyone OF the presents were very
clever and caused much laughter.
Dancing and Yukon Dainties ended
the party.
The Freshmen not only gave de-
lighffui party to the Juniors but they
ere planning 10 give themselves a
party. The Freshman dance will
be given next Saturday, February
twenty-sixth. The Freshmen we're
not permitted to attend the Junior
Prom because Of the limited space
for dancing. so they are allowed a
party all to themselves. The Fresh
