A Step Toward Recognition.

TWO eminent Americans, or nigh
capacity in diplomatic and practical
affairs, have been named to represent
the United States in the negotiations
about to be conducted directly with
Mexico for the necessary adjustment
OF the Mexican fundamental law that
will effect the guarantees required by
this government as a condition to
recognition of the neighbor republic.
rem and former Secretary John Barton
Payne are exceptionally qualified to
serve in this capacity. The former
has had an extensive experience as
representative of this government at a
foreign capital, and the latter has
through his close study OF Mexican
affairs become one of the foremost
authorities in the United States upon
that question.
Soon specific arrangements will be
made for a meeting Of the representa-
tives Of the two countries. The sue
cess Of the dealings seems assured
from the present conditions at Mexico
City. Informal indications have been
given that Mexico has found way to
meet the requirements to recognition.
Thus the appointment OF the Ameri-
can commissioners is not merely
speculative, but is based upon a GER
tain measure OF assurance.
The American position in this mat
ter il clearly stated. There is no de-
sire to interfere in Mexico's internal
affairs or to suggest what laws that
nation shall enact. 1t is held that when
a nation has invited intercourse with
others, and has sanctioned contracts
entered into and property rights ac.
quired by foreigners. it is an essential
condition that there shall be no resort
to confiscation and repudia ton. In
short, all the United States requires is
that Mexico shall grant the guaran.
tees of security that are granted by
other nations with which it maintains
friendly relations.
Much progress has been made in
Mexico toward stability. Under Presi-
dent Obregon the country has been
brought out OF the chaos of misrulc
and revolution. Prosperity has re-
vived. The rich resources of the land
are being developed. Banditry has
been suppressed to AS great an extent,
in all likelihood, as in the United
States. where, unhappily. it still pre-.
walls at times and in places. The state
is in a strong position, stronger than
for many years, and there is no rea-
son to look for any reverses.
A settlement of. the question of
guarantees and the extension OF recog-
milton will not only establish the
United States and Mexico upon a
basis of firm friendship and close re-
lationship, but will strengthen the
position Of all the American republics.
1t will advance the day Of general
peace upon this hemisphere.
