MEXICAN CASE PUT
ON HUGHES DESK
The Groundwork for United States
Recognition is Presented to the
State Premier.

Washington.--A plan designed as
friendship and amity between the
United States and Mexico was laid
formally before the American govern
ment upon the return to Washington
OF the two commissioners appointed
by President Harding TO negotiate a
Impeachment with the government
Of Gen. Obregan.
Details Of tile plan as worked out
by Charles b. Warren and John Bar
ton Payne, with their Mexican col.
leagues on the International commits
sion, will not be made public for the
present nor will responsible officials
make any predictions as TO the future
course Of the Washington administra.
ton until there has been a careful
study Of the entire project. Steps al
ready taken, however, have aroused
in official circles an apparent feeling
Of confidence that the long continued
breach between the two North Ameri-
can republics may be closed at last.
Mr.. Warren and Mr.. Payne called
on Secretary Hughes Immediately af-
| ter their arrival from Mexico City and
left on his desk their report OF the
| negotiations and of the agreement
reached between the commissioners
and later in the day were presented
by Mr.. Hughes to President Coolidge.
1t is the general expectation that
.t,,lu rF ~, rD-pr will rorpiro az
least two weeks. The president as
well as Secretary Hughes and other
officials OF the state department are
expected to examine the plans sug-
gested with greatest care before there
is any announcement as to whether
it provides real basis for enduring
friendship between the two countries.
The two groups of commissioners"
said Mr.. Warren, have agreed on a
basis that has been found agreeable
to the Mexican government. We hope.
of course, that it will be acceptable to
our own
Two claims conventions are pro-
posed in the plan to provide material
~ for settling finally and on a
parallel basis all the questions re-
naming open on the resumption OF
full relations. One would deal with
claims growing out of the revolution
and the other with mixed claims. II
is assumed that should all other fea-
lures of the rapproachment plan be
found acceptable, and an ambassador

Mexico City, the two conventions
could be concluded and brought into
effect without difficulty or delay.
1t was made apparent at the state
department that no comment need be
expected from officials during the
period required for q thorough study
OF the commissioners on the question.
