 The United States has had no general treaty of amity and com merCc with Mexico since 1882. Such treaties. it has been argued, might have obniated the tangle over American rights as affected by Mexican oil and land legislation.
 An effort to negotiate commer- clai pact was made by Sccrcta " Colby in 1921. IL was renewed by Secretary Hughes and played part in the negotiations which resulted in the signing of two Mexican American claims conventions and diplomatic recognition Of the Obre- gon government. 4 further effort by the United States to negotiate d commercial treaty was made by Secretary Hughes in 1924 in an ex- change and this was renewed in 1926 at the time 'he new Mexican petroleum and land laws were first formulated.

 scntation of The Green Hat" at
 Parsons thcater, Hartford. it is al-
 most impossible to escape from the
 haunting recollection of a woman
 whose love is in vain as produced
 by Katherine Cornell in the role Of
 Iris March. Depression over her
 failure to find happiness struggles with eXultation over her hcroism
 The play leaves the spectator in q conflict of emotions but above all rises an appreciation for the most remarkable drama presented in years.
 "The Green Hat" is not a cheer ful tale. Michael Arlen, the author. did not plot to close his story with c warm glow. But he chose from shifting and milling humanity, the life of q girl who must have many countcrparts outside the world of the novel and thcater. Fortunately, they remain hidden from the eyes. Only the master stroke of q master story teller could lift Iris March into view. And only the talent of Miss Cornell could endow her with the breath of life.
 Iris March gives herself to all men but loves only one who seems beyond her reach. Like q current of pure spring water flowing through a pol lutcd stream, is this love for Napier Harpendon. It endures 10 the end surmountjng all the other incidents of 3 sordid life.
 Miss Cornell is supported by cast {. which does justice to her dramatic | skill and which hcightCns the iNten- | sity of the play by its fidelity to the several characterizations John !, Bucklor, S Gerald Marsh, is on the | stage for only a few minutes but in ! that brief period he displays con- , sunmate tincsse and q storm of ap- | plause follows his only exit. Alan . Hollis, Eugene Powers and Gordon Ash discharge their responsibilities 10 the uttcrmost. A. P. Kaye, as a provides the single touch of humor in the third act, Pamela Simpson wins credit for her two brief appearances.
 The Green Hat" will remain at Parsons theator for the rest of the week with matinees on "Wednesday ! and Saturday. It is one of those dramas which should be seen so that the diary can include the notation: Tonight, saw Katherine Cornell in The Green Hat
