PLAN AFLOATFOR
RECOGNITION
Of MEXICO
EWkf Hill
influential Nation Suggests
Pan-American Union Pass on
country's Fitness.
By HARRY L. ROGERS,
international News Service.

A movement to give the govern
ing board of the Pan-Amer1can
Union authority to pass on the
fitness of such governments as that
of Mexico for recognition by the
United States and other members
of the union has been instituted by
an influential member nation, 1t
was learned officially today.
Announcement of this plan for
extension of the functions Of the
governing body of the official or
ganization Of the twenty-one Ameri'
can republics follows closely on the
heels Of a move by Costa Rica at
the Pan-American Conference in
Santiago to abolish as a condition
of membership on the board the
requirement that the government
in. question be recognized by the
United States.
Inasmuch as Mexico is the only
member Of the union not officially
recognized by the United States,
both these plans are regarded here
as expressly calculated to advance
the interests Of the Obregon gov
eminent.
No Real Unity Now.
The latest suggestion contem-
plates making the union governing
board a sort of clearing house on
recognition. Under present prac-
tice, when. a new government Is
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-04-11

set up each Of the established gov.
ernments investigate the legitimacy
and stability Of the new regime to
ascertain its worthiness of recog-
milton. Despite the fact that each
country endeavors to find what the.
other is going to do about recog-
nizing the new government, there
is seldom real unity of action in
according recognition, and as in
the case Of Mexico and the United
States one government may hold
out long after the others have
acted.
The new plan Of joint action, It
Is argued, would make for solidarity
and would promite the growth Of
the Pan-American idea for which It
was founded.
Adherents Of the plan assert It
would go far toward discouraging
fly-by might revolutions, since polit-
ical adventures would soon dis
cover they could not hope to win
the united approval OF the repre-
sentatives Of twenty-one nations. A
revolutionary government might
obtain recognition from q few ma
tons acting singly, but it's record
would have to be good IL it hoped
to pass muster before the entire
group.
Even the most enthusiastic sup.
porters Of the plan admit, however,
that there is little chance Of the
governing board being granted final
power in the matter. The power Of
according recognition, it is pointed
out, is an essential attribute of
sovereignty, and for the American
republics to grant that power to
such a body would be analogous in
some respects to setting up super
government. Many of the Latin
American nations have recognized
the Obregon government and a
majority might be expected to vote
for recognition, but the United
States would hardly consent to be
ruled by the majority.
To Serve AS An Advisor.
It is believed, however, that the
governing board might well serve
In an advisory capacity, examining
carefully all the facts in the case,
hearing arguments pro and con, and
after arriving at decision, make
appropriate recommendations.
In this way, it is argued, the gov
,erning board could be Of real serv-
ice for the cause Of Parliamentary
ism. Though its decisions might
not leau 10 unity or action In all
cases, its moral force would be
very great. and its recommends
tons certainly would express the
concensus of opinion of all govern
ments concerned. Such an addition
of power, too, admittedly would en-!
nance the prestige and dignity Of
the Union, which has for its sole
object the promotion of better re-
lations between the twenty-one re-
publics which adhere to 1t.
1t was because Of the rule admit
ting to membership on the board
only accredited" representatives at
Washington, that Mexico has not
been actively identified with the
work Of the Union and refused to
attend the Santiago conference, not
withstanding the fact that she
ranks third in the amount paid for
| support Of the Union. The plan
| suggested to the Santiago confer
ence by Costa Rica would obviate a
repetition Of this difficulty, and It
is asserted, would remove the dan
ger of Mexico's withdrawing from
the Union.

Equipped with a isht-weight set. he was able to liaten-in to weather reports of upper air currents broadcasted from five of the principal stations of the country, night and morn- ing, while the ballconists were in the air. Another use he found for his radio was in approaching thunder shower areas, the most dreaded interference after a bal loonist leaves the ground. Long before lightning flashes could be seen the cracking of the static in his receivers warned him of the approach of the storm. Lieu

The cabinet has been informed
that conditions in the cotton rails

WARD TRIAL OPENS
AS FIRST WITNESS
DESCRIBES CORPSE

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Sept. 10.
The man who first found the bullet
pierced body of young Clarence Pc
tiers lying beside an obscure road in
the Bronx was heard when the muir
der case against Walter S. Ward,
the millionaire bakers son, opened
today.
Duncan Rose, the first witness for
the prosecution when the actual
trial got under way, described how
he came upon the dead form of Pc
ters as he was driving to work on
the morning of May 16, 1922.
Every button on Peters worn
vest was buttoned, the witness said
The prosecution will attempt to
weave about this testimony proof
that there was no bullet hole in the
garment, yet the wound was under
meath. This might indicate, the
prosecution contends, that Peters
was murdered elsewhere when he
had his vst off-and not on the
lonely road as Ward contends.
