WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Sept. 3.-Re-
cognition Of the government Of Pres
ident obregon is regarded here as in
line with the American policy, stated
through successive administrations OF
giving disinterested help 10 a friendly
country so long as the rights Of Amer
leans are properly safeguardcd. The
announced aim cf the Washington gov
ernment has been directed consistently
TO such a course, although often with
difficulty because of outragcs upon the
persons and properties or American
nationals in Mexico. and of disourag-
ing int national complications incident
to condit on Of revolution and civil
war running over more than n decade.
The questions arising under this poll
cy have been among the most delicate
with which the United States had had
to deal. and have involved military pa
trolls along the border. naval and mill
tary expeditions into Mexico. embar-
goes upon the expectation Of munitions,
and a succession of international con-
ferences touching indirectly on the
broad question Of relations with Latin
America in general.
Recently the principal question at is
sue has had to do with the interpreta-
tion Of Article q in the Mexican con-
stitution of 1917. now satisfactorily
adjusted through definite understand
ing Of its retroactive features reached
in the recent Mexico City conversatinos.

mary Importance By the administration

beginning in the outbreak In 1910 OF
the military revolution LED by Francis

Diaz. A policy Of non-interference was
adopted by President Taft, who soon
mobilized units of the regular army on
