'It is a fair inference" remarks the
Springfield Republican independently,
that, in spite Of his Morgan connec-
ton during the past dozen years, he
holds more flexible views on the So
called confiscation question than his
predecessor, Mr.. Sheffield" The
Houston Chronicle Democratic) OBJ
serves: 1.-THE Mexican problem from
the American viewpoint seems to be
chiefly financial and property rights
problem, and 1t is to be assumed that
Mr.. Morrow knows about as much
about such things as any man in the
country"
The Binghamton Press independent
Republican, is convinced that when
the country knows Mr.. Morrow as well
as Mr.. Coolidge knows him 1t will

News independently states: For the
psychological effect, it is possible that
a banker, be he ever so qualified to
understand controversial questions,
leaves much to be desired. Still. it
should not be taken for granted that
Mr.. Morrow will prove to be more of
a financier than a diplomat. Finan-
ciers do require diplomacy to get
along"
Assuring Mr.. Morrow that all Amer.
leans must wish him well. the New

his past connections" The Louis
