CITY, Oct. l0-The ap-
pointment OF ]. Reuben Clark, for
mer under secretary Of state and
Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow's
chief advisor on Mexican matters
during most OF the latter's sojourn
IN Mexico, as ambassador to Mexico
from the United States, did not come
as a surprise either to Mexico Of
ficially or TO the American residents
here.
II had been a foregone conclus-
ion for q number Of months that
Clark had been urged by Mr.. Nor
row as the latter's successor. 1t was
also felt that unless President Hoov-
encountered some outstanding Re-
publican to whom the appointment
could not very well be denied. Clark
would be chosen for the post.
The appointment subStantiated
predictions made by this correspon-
dent In dispatches that Clark was
Mr.. Morrow's logical successor and
would be the common sense" Sc
lection.
At no time during his work here
has Mr.. Morrow ever attempted TO
conceal his admiration for Clark's
ability nor did he ever hesitate to
share with his official aid such re-
suits as he obtained in his dealings
with the Mexican government.
Clark, in spite of his unofficial po-
sition, commanded the same respect
as an ambassador when Mr.. Nor
row was absent from the embassy.
During the period both men spent
in Mexico when MI. Morrow was
absent Clark was on hand to regu-
late the affairs OF the embassy. Al
though without any official title he
called frequently and freely on Mex
lean Officials and discussed with
them questions Of an official nature
but in an unofficial manner. To
all outward appearances he was the
real ambassador during these per-
iods, at the same time without in
any manner ever demonstrating any
apparent authority.
Favorably Received
Practically the only time CLARK
was absent for any length of time
from Mexico City was during the
latter part Of the Coolidge admins
tration when it was known that Mr.
Morrow had recommended him for
under secretary Of state in charge OF
Mexican affairs, feeling that just
at that time Clark could do more
for the cause of Mexico and the

MEXICO LOOKS UPON CLARK
AS COMMON SENSE ENVOY

United States In washington than
he could here.
Clark's appointment, although ex-
pected, has been favorably received
at the Mexican foreign office and
in other official quarters here where
for some time It has been hoped
that he would be selected in the
belief that he was the most logical
man to carry on Mr.. Mcrrow's pol
icies.
Clark particularly l. credited with
having made the most exhaustive
study of the Mexican land and oil
problem ever made. This vast
amount OF research which dated
back several centuries was used by
Mr.. Morrow In his diplomatic deal
ings with Mexico IN seeking q SOL
ution to those two important prob
lens.
Clark, who Is a Mormon from Salt
Lake City, is believed to be the first
Mormon TO hold an American diplo-
matte post in Mexico. He Is promi-
nent In the affairs Of his church
and has been an active worker In
behalf Of the Young Mems Mutual
Improvement association. Because
Of his religious beliefs he does not
drink alcohol nor smoke but he Is
not a temperance advocate.
Clark first became Mr.. Ambassa-
dor" for q brief 48 hours last Feb
ruary when President Hoover named
him special ambassador during the
absence Of Mr.. Morrow in order
that he could officially represent
the United States at the Inaugural
ton OF President Ortiz Rubio. His
friends jokingly told him at the
time That's Just 70 get you used
TO the title"
Mystery Man
Only one argument that Clark
might not accept the post has been
offered. That was that his finan-
cial meal might not allow him to
take the appointment because Of
the heavy expense attached to the
post.
Throughout his residence in Mex
leo City Clark has had an office in
the United States embassy. although
in al unpretentious upstairs corner
of the building. But 1t has always
been evident that he was called into
conferences with official members
Of the embassy staff on matters Of
Importance.
When Clark first came here he
was the mystery man" Of the en-
bassy but 1t soon became evident
