i. Commission
to Present Case
to Mexico Today
Early Agreement on Differ.
ences Between American
and Obregon Govern
ments Is Predicted.
BY Universal Service.


Mexico City, May 13-The Ameri-
can commission for recognition of
Mexico will formally place its case
before the obregon government Mon.
day when the agenda for the coming
conference is submitted.
Charles y. Warren. head OF the
American commission. wishes TO avoid
stating anything that Will be con-
strued as the maximum or minimum
OF acceptable terms.
On the contrary. when he meets
with the Mexican commissioners he
viii tell them in friendly terms of the
attitude OF the United States in re-
gard 10 oil lands and estates ac-
quired prior to 1917.
This view Is to be so liberal, IL is
learned. that it is believed the two
bodies will shortly agree.
1t is stated on the highest authori.
ty that Mr.. Warren and his CO.
worker. John Barton Payne, will not
attempt to dictate or suggest changes
in Mexican status that are not com
patible with Mexican tradition and
policy.
They have a good understanding of
the differences that exist and will
give them the fullest consideration.
The commission is having a pleas
ant time here. The home placed at
their disposal is palatial. The want
for nothing. so far as physical com
fort Is concerned. and they find plen-
ty of time for golf.
At the first session, It is antici-
pated. each side will move with great
caution in stating their case. II is
emphasized that they would rather
devote unlimited time to adjustments
than TO make statements at the out
set which they cannot hope to see
accepted.
