DIPLOMATIC NOTES
ARE MADE PUBLIC
Exchanges With Mexico
Prior to Claims Agree
ment Published.

The State Department made public
last night, in agreement with the
Mexican government, correspondence
exchanged between the American
charge in Mexico and Mexican foreign
Office officials in 1929, which paved
the way to adoption of the claims con-
Nention between the two governments
and the restoration of friendly rela-
tions. The exchanges, which COM
prise 10 documents, were said by de-
partment officials to complete the his
torical chapters of the long dispute
between the two countries regarding
the Objectionable features of the Mex
lean constitution, and Article 81 in
particular. The documents have no
legal effect, since they were super
seeded by the claims convention ne
gotiated by Charles B. Warren and
John Barton Payne with Mexican
commissioners in 1928, and on which
recognition was based.
No Connection With Present Dispute.
In making the exchanges public,
State Department officials insisted
there was no connection between their
publication at this time and current
troubles growing out of the rejection
by the Special Claims Commission of
damages totaIing S1,225,0 900 asked for
by relatives and dependents of the 10
American mining engineers killed in
the Santa YSabel massacre. Judge h.
B. Perry of Lincoln. Nebr., American
claims commissioner, who protested
the decision in this case, now is in
Washington to advise Government
authorities regarding future policies
for claims settlements with Mexico.
Chief among the documents is the
draft of the treaty proposed by former
Secretary of State Charles Z. Hughes
and on which he intended, at that
time. that recognition of Mexico be
negotiated. This shows in compari-
son with the claims of conventions
which finally became the basis of
renewed friendly relations between the
two governments that the United
States asked for more elaborate guar
tees Of American property rights
than were ultimately granted.
Claims Limited to Banditry.
Article Ii OF the proposed treaty
Of peace and aInity which Mr.. Hughes
offered and which Mexico rejected
provided that Mexico recognize finan-
cial obligation in case of death or in
jury to American citizens or damage
TO their properties when such dam
ages were occaSioned by the acts of
representatives OF the United Mexican
States or by acts of persons engaged
in brigandage or in insurrection or
revolution against the Mexican gov
ernment."
This language was modified by the
special claims convention negotiators
to limit Mexican responsibility for
damages to cases of banditry only,
provided it be established that the
appropriate authorities omitted to
take reasonable measures to sup
press bandits" 1t was under this
reading that the commission handed
down it's decision in the Santa Ysabel
case.

MINE WAGE QUESTION

LONDON, May 10.-"After the
strike. WHAT" is a question many
thoughtful Englishmen are posing
throughout Great Britain.
Men who can see beyond armored
cars and troop movements. which are
holding public attention for the
moment, are specializing where the in
dustrial dispute over mine wage which
precipitated the general strike will
stand. They are particularly anxious
to know whether it will be possible TO
carry into effect the recommendations
of the commission which investigated
the mining industry.
This commission recommended a
wholesale reorganization Of the mines
with the consolidation and moderniza-
ton of some mines and the abandon
ment of some antiquated property as
well as wage revision. Many financial
experts are worried over the effect
that the general strike will have on
the government ability to aid in
carrying out the commissions report
which would be a stupendous task
involving huge expenditures.
