 The preliminary investigations be- ing conducted by Rafael Nieto, Mex ican minister to Sweden, and the per- mancnt officials Of the foreign office arc making progress despite threat ened break-up when Senator Nieto asked the British why Mexico could not be accorded complete recognition without the delay of establishing a claims commission, the Mexican min ister citing the case of Russia, in which all claims and other diifer- ences will be settled after plenipo- tcntiarics arc exchanged. The Brit ish reply was that the labor govern ment was ready 10 take up the qucs- ton Of de jure recognition of Mex leo, but that if the Mexican delegate desired he could continue his confer cnces with the permanent foreign of- fee officials looking toward complete rer ognition later.

 Representative Begg, republican, Ohio, has been canvassing the dele- gations with a view to aseertaining what maximum surtax rate could be fixed to swing a solid party for the bill, which would be necessary for passage of a republican measure in view of the democratc' united stand for higher surtax and lower normal income tax rates.
