President Expects
No Special Report
From Am. Sheffield

Paul Smiths, n. Y, Aug. 10-(P)-
Although President Coolidge erpects
that James r. Sheffield, American
ambassador to Mexico. will come to
the United States this summer, he
does not assume that the AMBASSADOR
is coming to make any direct report
which he has not already made or
would make in the ordinary dis
charge of his duties.
Mr.. Coolidge. it was said at the
executive offices today, has no direct
or definite information concerning
Mr.. Shetfield's plans this summer
nor has he been informed that the
state department at Washington has
dispatched any note to Mexico City
in the immediate past on the land
question.
Directions for general policy. it
was explained, have been laid down
by the president for the guidance of
the state department on the land
question in accordance with agree
ments entered into by the United
States and Mexico when Recognition
was accorded the government of the
latter country three years ago, and
notes are sent as conditions arise
requiring such action. If any COM
munication has been sent recently,
on the land question, it was indicat-
ed, it was not of a character requir-
ing special instructions from the
White House.
The views of Mr.. Coolidge con-
corning the Mexican situation were
made known during a visit of the
chief executive to the executive Off
ces, where he attended to a number
of routin matters that had accumula-
ted during his absence at Plymouth,
VT. He was accompanied by Senator
Ernst. Republican, Kentucky, who
was a guest at White Pine Camp last
night and who left today for his
home state by way of Washington to
enter the campaign in which he is
seeking reelection.
