matters of such character are con-

clear. France has abiding faith that
Italy only occupied Corfu to obtain

never intended as an act of war. The

both notorious and respectable, but

not incarnate the general sentiment

Therefore, as the French say, the
situation is clear.

RECOGNITION
Of MEXICO IS
NOT FAR OFF
So Says Texas Congress-

Hughes.
II In WAY
Would Restore Relations If
Proper Assurance
Given.
Washington, ID. c., April 4.-Rep-

Washington, ID. C., April 4.-Rep-
rcsentative Il. l.. Connally, of Texas,
one of the most Outspoken critics of
the administration Mexican policy,
had a three-hour conference Tuesday
with Secretary Hughes.
As member of the committee on
foreign relations, Congressman Con-
nally has repeatedly demanded that
this country should recognize Mexico.
At the close of the conference he de-
clined to reveal that, while there is
nothing TO indicate that recognition
is imminent, he does not think it is
far off.
Secretary Hughes position. said
the Texas Congressman, "is virtually
the same as expressed by him in his
speech at Boston last October. He
holds that, before the United States
can recognize Mexico. it must have
official assurance that Article % OF
the Mexican constitution will not be
rctroactively construed. Il take it that
he is not particularly concerned as
to the form this assurance takes so
long as il is official"
President 0bregon has declared that
Mexico does not intend to place q
retroactive construction on that ar.
ticle, but the department holds that
this is merely the personal ASSURANCE
Of President Oregon and cannot be
accepted as binding his government 10
an agreed course of action.
While it would be highly improper
for me to reveal what Secretary
Hughes may have told me. l think !
may say that he is thoroughly alive to
the importance of the subject and Is
giving it his personal attention. He
is. | believe. sincere. and would be
glad to have the controversy settled
and international comfy re-established
