|AM|TY BETWEEN
us. AND MEXICO
CROWS NEARER
White House In Formal State
ment Says Situation Is
Making Progress.
k..l....r,c.s snpsI ErIL
By JOHN GOLDSTR0M.
Universal Service.


The first definite sign from Pres
ident Harding's administration that
II is movng toward recognition OF
Mexico was given in q White House
statement yesterday, which said:
THE Mexican situation 10 making
very satisfactory progress. The
drift is now In the right direction"
This latest and favorable develop
ment came after Charge d'Affaires
Don Manuel c. Tellex had issued q
statement from the Mexican embassy
confirming the report that President
Obregon had signed the agreement
recently concluded in New York be-
tween Secretary Of the Treasury
Adolfo de la Huerta and the interna.
tional committee Of bankers headed
by Thomas W. Lamont.
Senior Tellez's statement ended
THE approval OF this agreement by
the Mexican Congress. which will
take place shortly. will formally set.
tie all matters connected with Mexi.
cos public exterior and railways
debts"
This will satisfy another OF the
requirements of the State Depart
ment. Hughes was not ready 70
comment on the five decisions OF the
Mexican supreme court denying the
retroactivity OF article ~ of the
1917 constitution and safeguarding
American property rights in Mexico.
Hughes Gets Texts.
Secretary Hughes received the
Spanish texts of these decisions last
Friday and at that time said he
would be ready to give the State
Departments pronouncement on
them in three or four days.
The five decisions, in cases affect
Ing petroleum leaseholds Of three
companies, repeat the same princi.
pie: That article II makes II impos.
sible for article 27 to operate retro
actively against American property
rights legally held, and that such
property, or leaseholds, cannot be
vacated by the Mexican government
for communal purposes.
These amparo, or Injunction pro.
ceedings, definitely establish the
precedent required in Mexican legal
practice and aim to satisfy the State
requirement in this
particular. The same principle had
been previously declared by Presi.
uent ODreg0n.
Rulings Not Clear.
The significant White House state.
ment is said to be based upon word
from Mexico City that the Mexican
supreme court is at work on supple
mentary decisions which will supply
such guarantees as the first five may
be found to lack.
Reports that the State Department
the first five 'unsatisfac.
tory" are incorrect. 1t is understood
that such decisions as have been ex.
amined have proved to be not sui
comprehensive. although
they establish the principle that
rights are not menaced by
article 81. ...
Further rulings are said TO deal
with other than leased lands; with
ands, ranch and other kinds, owned
outright by Americans. When these
arrive at the State Department an.
houncement Of recognition may be
expected to follow. ....i

ton Here, May Be Re-
viewed by Harding.

Two parades. one this afternoon
and the second tomorrow morning,
are planned by the visiting colorrd
knights of Templar. President
Harding is expected to review both
parades.
More than $1,000 colored Knights

cornerstone at Tenth and u streets
northwest for the 100000 Masonic
Temple.
The first session OF the interna.
tional conference Of the order was
held in the Lincoln Theater yester-
day. Last night the Temple Cru.
saders, q woman's auxiliary of the
Knights, held a reception at Pythian
Temple, Twelfth and U streets north
west.
Another session Of the conference
will be held tonight at the Turner
Memorial Church, Fifth and p streets
northwest.
Today's parade will form at Thir.
teenth and T streets northwest and
will cover the following route: On
Thirteenth to s street. thence to
Third street, south to Pennsylvania
avenue, on Pennsylvania avenue to
Jackson place, thence to Seventeenth
street, north to NJ street, east on NJ
street to Fifteenth, north to T street
and east to American League Park.
The supreme officers of the order
will be elected Friday, and the city
in which the next convention will be
held will probably be decided upon
tomorrow.

AID BUT LITTLE.
.INsTR|KETRUCE
Necessity Of Comprehensive
Legislation In Short Time.
May Bar Material Help,
BY STUART GOODWIN.
Cesmspolitan News servire.

In President Hardipgs indicated
desire to have full membership OF
the House on hand when Il resumes
sessions on August IL, leaders In
Congress today foresaw move BY
the Ny,its House TO ask the leeisla.
tive branch OF the Government for
aid in settling the railroad and coal
difficulties. particularly the former.
II was pointed out by Congress
sional leaders that only four courses
are open by which Congress can give
any aid. These are
First. passage Of a law making In
dustrial arbitration compulsory.
Second, enactment OF Federal
statute similar to the Kansas In
terests OF the public first In labor
and capital disputes, and making
decisions of such q federal court
binding upon operators and opera
tives. ....
Third, passage of legislation Civ
ing the Government the right to
take over and operate the railroads
or other similar necessities Of ma
tiohal life when national emergen.
cy such as the present one exists.
Fourth, enactment Of legislation
providing penalties for failure to OBJ
serve and stand by decisions Of the
Railroad Labor Board.
Doubt Feasibility.
Leaders are frankly doubtful that
any Of these measures could be
drawn and passed by both houses
OF Congress In such time that the
present situation would be helped
much. There would certainly be
strong and persistent opposition to
any OF these proposals from many
quarters. Legislation OF this i'm
portance could not be rushed
through without hearings In com.
mittees on both sides. Before any
thing could be accomplished in this
way, the country might well be In
o state Of food and fuel famine.
Another bar In the path of quick
Congressional action Of any sort 10
the unanimous consent agreement
that the Senate proceed Immediately
to the Bonus bill when the Tariff
measure b out OF the way. This
pTOBThIh COulu Ut CHAnBcu OHiy Dy
unanimous consent, which probably
could not be obtained.
Aid Prospects Dim.
House action could be expedited
under a special rule. but a filibuster
by a single man could hold up SEN
ate action for an indefinite period.
There are Senators who could be
counted upon certainly to block any
OF these proposals in this fashion.
Following the fourth suggestion
putting teeth into the transpo- TIA.
tion act-could not be made re.
troactive, and would not help in the
present dispute 30 far as existing
orders Of the Railroad Labor Board
are concerned.
Some leaders think that the mere
effort toward legislative cure for tine
present trouble would be nslptul IN
hurrying the executives aud the
strikers toward fixing up their dlf.
ficulties.

BY j. BART CAMPBELL.
BY International News Service.

Convinced that the pending tariff
bill will soon be passed by the
Senate, Senators favoring soldiers
bonus legislation began tightening
their lines today in anticipation Of
the stiff opposition. led by Senator
Borah RepD OF Idaho. and Senator
Underwood Dem) OF Alabama,
which it is certain to encounter.
Senator Bursum RepJ of New
Mexico was among the bonus ad-
vocates who declared that the fight
would be more easily won II a bill
providing for a straight-out cash
bonus without any strings" were
passed by the Senate.
While Senator McCumber (Rep.)
OF North Dakota, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. intends
to press for the passage of his bill.
which Is a modification of the
House insurance plan, II was be-
heved by some Senators urging a
cash bonus that he would not stand
in the way of any form OF com.
pensation for ex-service men once
IL received the support of a ma
jority of the Senate.
"A cash bonus can be provided
readily enough" said Senator Bur
sum. "If we are sincere in our
opinion that we owe our ex-service
men a debt, and not q promissory
note, we can meet our obligation
the same as any other obligation
incurred by the Governmert-from
the Treasury until such time as
the British interest installment be-
cones available.
"It IL not proposed that the honus
slIsll become operative until 'anu-
ary next, and by that time
Great Britain may have paid the
promised interest. But whether Il
Is paid or not, the Treasury OF the
wea'thiest nation in the whole
word is, in my judgment. certainly
able to furnish ample money for IN
cash bonus. The one way out bf
the ituation Ii to either scknowl-
edge ,r repudiate our obligation to
our x.service men. and believe
the square thing to do is to ac-
ovledge II, and pay 1t without
furthsr quibbling or delay"
Buysum has received assurances
from an increasing number of his
coiiee yues that they will support
his bill, which would thrust the
McCu nber insurance plan aside,
and give the ex-service men cash.
He said he intended to press his
bin once the tariff is out of the
way.

! Thompson is a great friend OF
Warren Gamaliel Harding. 1t ID
thought here that he exercises q
restraining influence on Harding's
wilder impulses. Thompson makes
normalcy look turbulent. A close
study OF Thompson's principal cam.
paign pamphlet reveals a profound
conviction by him that the chief
issue In Ohio today is Carmi Thomp,
sons boyhood.
Thompson claims that he was
born In a house as humble as ever
sheltered the boyhood or babyhood
or any other great man. He says,
For humble environment no spot
that has Graded the great of a
great nation can excel that where.
In was born the ambition which
has numbered Carmi Thompson
among the well-known figures in
the life Of his State and nation"
To be more specific as to who
the great are, he says:

modest as that which sheltered a
Lincoln, a Grant, a Mckinley or
" Harding"

ton; and he quotes about 1t from his
Sunday school teacher, Miss Mary
Winters, who says that when
Carmi was confronted with the
collection plate on Sundays, be
contributed his pennies with a
glad thankful look u
Thompson also says that when he
was a boy he could smile under the
most vexatious circumstances ard
was obedient to authority" He al Q
says that he exhibited that extreme
prudence and caution which repes t.
edly came to the surface in his lat II
career" AS for his prospective II
reer in the governorship OF Ohio,
says:
"Carmi A. Thompson has implicit
faith in his party principles as the
foundation for a successful govern
ment for the whole people"
