tower that his invitation arrived
"a short time before the dinner,
and long after | had made other
arrangements"
Invitations to others are known
| to have been received several
| days before the scheduled event.
The foregoing was one of two
political criticisms in the wake of
the Mexican governors visit. The
other comes from the border
country.
Not a few of the governors sup
porters in the last campaign are
| peeved over his selection of Fred
Edwards, a Republican recently
named to a non-existent vacancy
on the industrial commission, as
his personal representative to
welcome the Mexican officials to
Arizona. A Santa Cruz Democrat
ic leader has written friends in
Phoenix: "A lot of good Demo
Gratis were fighting for SPO in the
last primary, but none Of these re-
ceived recognition. One even paid
the expenses of the Osborn head
quarters from his own pocket, yet
he hasn't been given a break since
the election. Many of SPO's for
mer supporters speak good Span
ish, but they are ignored while a
Republican, who doesn't, is ac'
corded this honor"
On the whole, however, it ap-
pears Governor Osborn did a good
turn by entertaining the Mexican
governors. Col. william Turnbow,
the Phoenix Gazette's capable cap
itol-domer, writes: Governor Os.
born repeatedly has scored a
'bullseye' with the state depart,
ment in Washington on the visit
here of two Mexican governors.
Recent visitors to the national
capital assert Sec. of State Cor.
dell Hull's office has been ex-
ceedingly pleased with the ex.
change of friendship between Ari'
zona and the Mexican states of So.
nora and Sinaloa.
"'Tis said anything an official
of the United States, including
governors of the states, might do
to honor nations south of the bor'
der is in conformity with Presi
dent RoOsevelt's good neighbor
policy"
However, the colonel makes this
observation: "Ironical as it seems
while Arizona gets No. l recogni
tion in Washington on the inter
national situation, it is still in the
dog-house on the domestic stage
particularly as it concerns the
hectic, entangled political and eco
nomic affairs of the newly-created
Arizona Employment Security com
mission.
"The situation in some respects
is serious, but on other angles
statehouse backstagers get an 0c
casional chuckle. They observe II
is now narrowing down to an In
ner feud between certain folk, all
OF whom strutted their stuff in q
big way in behalf of Mr.. Osborn's
gubernatorial candidacy last year.
The fact remains that a notice
has been given employment secur
ity commission employees they
can expect no remuneration fol
their laors until difficulties be
tween the state and federal gov
ernment officials are ironed out.
Word from Washington is to the
effect the matter could be settled
amicably if Gov. Osborn would
visit the national capital in per
son. This, however, woold be
most embarrassing for the chief
executive. He made much ado in
his last campaign over a promise
to remain away from washington
unless he should be summoned
there by the President of the
United States.
Those close to the governor say
he would have a hard time "say
ing face should he make a plane
or train trip to Washington sole
ly to extricate one of his commits
sions from a political tangle.
