MEX ATTITUDE
is PUZZLE TO
UNITED STATES
Recognition AUaits
Granting of Simple
Requests.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, May 27.-Thorough
examination of all the facts and
official communications between
Mexico and the United States rela-
tive to recognition OF the Obregon
government leads only to an mex
plicable attitude on the part of the
Mexican authorities. Why do they
hesitate to grant the simple re-
quests of the department of state
for a reciprocal understanding?
All sorts of curious Impressions
seem to have been spread about to
the effect that the United States
was demanding something extraor-
diary, something which would Of
fend Mexican pride and sovereign
ty to accept. 1t has even been
stated that the United States is not
satisfied to get an assurance that
all titles to property held prior TO
the adoption of the Mexican consti-
tuition in May 1917, shall be valid,
but is asking for the valuation of
titles to property acquired since
that date. This statement is abso-
lutely without foundation.
One Point Cleared Up.
Similarly it has been banded
about in Mexican-American circles
that the United States wanted the
right for Americans to own land on
the same terms as Mexicans. Care
full examinations of the text of the
clause in the treaty on this point
will show that the United States
didn't ask for the right to own but
merely to lease for commercial pur-
poses, subject, of course. to Mexi-
can laws. The United States ard
Japan have such provision in
their treaties and it is absolutely
essential, from the Mexican view
point, that foreign capital shall at
least be encouraged to the extent
of being permitted to rent land for
warehouses, factories and other
commercial structures. 1t is be
lieved that the Mexican govern
ment now, fully understands this
point and that it is no longer a
matter of controversy between the
two governments.
Entirely Up to Mexico.
The whole question of recognition
hinges upon the attitude of Mexico
which has hardly changed from the
very beginning. 1t has been urged,
for instance, that the supreme court
of Mexico by its decisions has in
| terpreted the constitution so as to
strip the mooted article 27 of its
retroa active implication. When this
decision was made, some critics
pointed out that it took at least five
decisions along the same line to es-
tablish a precedent similar to the
precents of American courts. Sc
/ four more decisions have been forth
coming. The trouble is that all
/ these decisions are restricted in
, scope and dc. not clear up all the
points at issue. For example the
court decisions would permit the re-
troactiye feature of the constitution

OSER WILL COME

MdfhiIde Cancels Her
Trip Back to
Switzerland.

Chicago, May 27.-Max Oser,
Swiss horseman of Zurich, whose
engagement to Miss Mathilde Nc
Cormick. 17-year-old granddaugh-
te rof John d. Rockefeller, startled
American society when it was an
nounced several months ago, plans
to come to Chicago in June, accord
ing to reports reaching here to-
night.
At the same time Miss Mccormick
prepared to leave tomorrow for
New York in company with Miss
Julia Mangold, of Zurich, who sails
for Europe next week. 1t had been
expected that Miss Mccormick
would return to Switzerland with
her friend, but Miss Mangold sails
alone, it was said.
This news came on the heels #
the appointment of Miss McCor-
mick's divorced father, Harold F.
Mccormick, head of the Interna-
tional Harvester company, as hec
guardian.
Mccormick Won't Talk.
At the Mccormick home no one
pretended to explain the situation
as result of the guardian petition.
The question whether the appoint
ment was made as a means of
breaking the engagement or hasten
ing the marriage remained unan-
swered.
Il will do what any guardian is
supposed to do" Mr.. Mccormick
said. 'I will conserve her inter
ests. 1 was appointed at her re
quest and 1 do not wish to say a
word more about it"
