CllalBe II ueIc W tdAc
place Wednesday Mexico will cele-
brate an internal state Of peace
that from all surface observations
is strongly reflected In the general
state Of optimism prevailing that
a solid and concrete reconstruction
program is at last under way. Sight
should not be lost OF the fact. how
ever. that the sudden unforeseen
has been outstanding in the history
Of the country.
Not even the irreconcilable. the
dissatisfied elements, nor the in
terventionists, can deny that a
glowing sunset is on the horizon OF
the future. Not only internally but
in its relations with the outside
world, and those with the United
States in particular, Mexico seems
on the verge Of a new era, a new
era that has been the talk and hope
Of the cptimists since the downfall
Of Porfirio Diaz in 1911.
Elaborate Ceremonies
The Inauguration OF Pascual Or
tiz Rubio as president will vie in
its Laboratories with the celebra-
ton OF the one hundreth ~anniver-
Sary IL 1910 of the iniation of the
movement Of independence. and with
the century landmark that befit-
tingly recorded the consummation
OF this independence in 1921. AT
both these anniversaries the nations
Of the world were represented as
they now are for the Inauguration
that takes place in three days by
special ambassadors and ministers
accredited to the Mexican govern
ment for the express purpose Of
joining in the general state Of re-
joicing that is 10 be the order Of
he day.
Special Ambassadors
Virtually every country with dip
lomatic representation in Mexico
City has named special ambassadors
10 participate in the Inauguration
festivities. In most cases the resld-
ing diplomatic agents OF the var
ious countries have been designated
with letters Of credenCe as special
Ambassadors or ministers for the oc-
CaSl0n. Some az the countries have
however sent special missions. with
the Guatemala delegation the lar
gest OF these, TO make the Journey
TO Mexico City for the express PR
pose designated.
One OF the last acts OF Provisional
President Portes Gil VII. be the au-
dience he will grant the special am
bassador5 10 receive their letters OF
credence. With the United States
represented here by Charge DAT
iaires HerSchel ". johnson in the
absence Of Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow, President Hoover has con-
ierred on j. Reuben Clark, Mr..
Morow's unofficial aide and all-in-
lluential and responsible ally n the
past two and 4 half years OF ne
goriations with Mexico, the post OF
special ambassador Tor the inaugu-
ration. Air. Clark, who remained IN
Mexico following the departure OF
Morrow for the London naval con-
ference, seemed particularly equip
ped Tor the position bestowed on
him. rs the logical successor 10
Ambassador Morrow, the selection
met with even more with the Mex
lean government than would per-
haps have been some other appointee
who would have 10 make a special
journey Tor the occasion. Incident
ally the expense involved was reduc-
cd 10 a minimum.
More Cordial
The Inauguration Of Ortiz Rubio
seems 20 present a suitable oDpor-
tunity for a brief review Of Mex
lean American relations dating
from the arrival or the former
partner Of j. p. Morgan and COM
pany IN Mexico City in October
1927, As American ambassador. n
appears safe TO state that from a
SSte az tension that existed prior
10 this date, the governments and
people of both countries are now
-fraternlzing each other in a cor
dial nelghbQrly manner that has
not been equalled in at least the
last twenty yeas OF the 100 years
or diplomatic relations that have
