Plea of Corporations Will Xot
Avail Anything.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. Recogni
tion of the new government in Mexico
by the United States will be with
held, it was said today at the state
deoartment. until Mexico has made
clear the effect to be griven to article
27 of the Mexican constitution relat
ing to property In Mexico.
Stronir pressure of speedy recog
nition is being brought to bear on
the department by some business and
other interests, but a high officer
stated emphatically today that no
corporation, no group of corporations
fend no eroup of individuals was go
ing to deliver American recognition
4o Mexico.
It was made clear that the United
Ftates was not demanding as a pre
liminary to recognition repeal of ar
ticle 27. but it was stated that if the
operation of laws enacted under that
section were made retroactive, the
American government could not ac
cord recognition.
The United States, officials ex
plained, is actuated by a desire to
protect American interests in the
southern republic, and in its study
of the whole situation has invited
- and received from American corpo
rations and individuals having inter
ests in Mexico statements as to con
ditions there and the present appli
cation of Mexican laws.
Early recognition of Mexico was
forecast in a statement issued at the
department eome weeks ago, but ap
parently it is not much nearer now
than it was then. Whether recoeni
tion will come before the present ad
ministration at Mexico City turns
over the government to President
elect Obregon on December 1 ap
parently still is undetermined.
