DECLARATIONS INoPPoRTUNE
Mexican Paper Says White House
Statement Is '.Superf1uous.'
BY the Associated Press

BY The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY. February 2G.-The
declarations at the White House in
Washington conce rning the unchang-
ed situation between the United
States and Mexico We're described by
FL Universal in an editorial today as
'superfluous and inopportune-"
The editorial said the statements
were superfluous because they gave
information without special reason of
the situation with which all persons
were acquainted and while an inves-
tigation of Mexican affairs was pend
ing. The newspaper says the secret
motives" of these declarations are
probably either to orientate America n
public opinion inclined favorably to
recognition of Mexico or to place an
obstacle in the way of the investiga-
ton, which might injure the prestige
of the Obregon administration"
The sentiments expressed by Ell
Universal were in direct contrast to
those of Excelsior. which saw in the
declarations IAN adroit invitation by
President Harding for renewed ne
gotiations on the subject of recogni-
ton"
