'. SATURDAY June 4 PROTECTION FIRST MEXICO BY 0. S. ; By-David Ijawrenee .- " . ;'! (Copyright, 1921) Washington, June 4.. Mexico's chances of recognition by the United. States government are " not based' upon , ; adherence to any specific formula of words, but upon written assurances that Will cover the whole Question of protection foe the lives and property of Americans. , Whether there shall be a treaty or a .protocol as has been insisted -in some quarters here, r whether the American government; Bhall accept simply an ex change of diplomatic notesas a basis - for recognition. Is something that is being worked out In conversations) between the two governments . and the interesting fact is that no hard and fast conditions have been . imposed. AXX BASIS AGIiKEABLE The American government has Indi cated lis willingness to adopt any rea sonable method which will not adversely affect President Obregon.'s position in side of Mexico, but which will ' at the same time afford sufficient basis for the extension of , recognition by other gov ernments. - - i ' - President" - Harding and Secretary JHughes want to do business with Presi dent Obregon and his, foreign secretary, Albexto PanL Both Mexican officials have shown an understanding of the situ . ation in the - United States and what public opinion north of Klo Grande wants. General Obregon Has traveled extensively in the United States . and on one visit ' was given ' a special military escort so that he could aee all' the military prep arations being made by the American army for service overseas. f FBOJI FAMILY OF DIPLOMATS The trip impressed General Obregon a great deaL Senor Pani, the foreign minister, was a member of Carranza's special commission which sought to ad Just .relations with the United States, first at New London and later at At lantic City. It is known that the late,! secretary. Franklin K. Lane, held Panl in high esteem and often said thai If . matters had been left to Pani's discretion and if Carranza had not been ' so in different to 1 Pani's advice, Mexican American relations would long ago have been smoothed out. i FanI Is descended" ; from a distinguished Italian family, of -diplomats. j .i The! Washington government Is eager . to get ' on a working basis with the ' Obregon government; but is not inclined to allow Ms impatience to destroy its program of what should be adopted by the Mexican authorities before recogni ' tion can be extended. 1::' MEXICANS OPPOSE "COWDITIOXS . The Mexicans do not like the idea of being required to accept "conditions." They have the impression that recog nition is something spontaneous a judgment by a foreign power on the facts. The Mexican theory seems to be that If law and order Have been estab lished and foreign governments think the Mexican executive and congress have been legally elected, that is sufficient basis for recognition. ' In somecases, the United States has .": Indeed recognised governments on less evidence than that. But the case of Mexico today-stands on its own bottom. It is the Intention of the Harding ad ministration to get Indisputable evidence of the capacity of the Mexican govern ment to live up to international obliga tions, and the only way to get such evi dence is to ask the Mexican government itself to furnish it in black and white. A treaty or protocol may be found unnecessary, but an exchange of letters or notes between the two governments would probably serve the purpose of the Washington government Just as well. These assurances must, however, be all comprehensive. OIL BIGHTS BJO ISSTTB One big outstanding cause of the es trangement of the two governments is the question of oil rights. The Mexican auh tori ties have indicated privately their willingness to ignore that portion of the Mexican constitution which would confiscate- American properties, but that isn't enough for our government.' A practical program which will -carry confidence with the American government must be; ' worked out. The exact formula is some-; thing that is puzzling most everybody here. Published reports had It that the Mexl-j can executive wouia oe asaea io aoro-, gate the famous article. 27 of the Mexi can constitution, but it is not politic from a Mexican viewpoint for the chief execu tive to be. amending the constitution at the behest' of a foreign power... The Mexican executive , too, must get congress to cooperate with him In amend ing the constitution, so while President Obregon might be -disposed to agree, ' there isn't so much certainty of favor- ' able action by the . Mexican congress. f There still remains a way, however, to get around the diff lenity. It is a mat ter of doubt whether article 27 in the Mexican constitution is itself valid with respect to American rights held prior; to v the adoption of the constitution. The su preme court has not passed on that point yet. J It could happen that a supreme court decision would clear up the whole matter and' thus render , inoperative the troublesome clause. ' - ' MEXICAN CHA5GE POSSIBLE The broad theory on which the Amerl J can -i government is ; proceeding is this: Mexico has indeed a legally elected gov ernment and from that viewpoint is. en titled to favorable consideration, but Is the government capable of fulfilling in ternational obligations, capable of ad justing .equitably the many international 'points in dispute between the two coun- tries? : - , . That is something . for : the ' outside power to decide and before such a Judg- .. ment is made,' assurances can be : used as a basis for - discussion in the event that at some future time another Mexi- ' can administration mat is not so friend ly to the American points of contention comes into office. : The prospect for' a favorable outcome of the negotiations going on at Mexico City is bright but nothing tangible can be announced as yet by either govern ment-as it is the method and not the substance which is causing the delay in agreement.'

The sum realized represents 1200,- 000 more than the estimates, proving the suddenly reawakened interest of col lectors.. . i . . - j The success of the sale is largely at tributed to the" fact that the Gros chateau is situated '. in ; the section - of -upper Savoie now subject to the Franco Swiss litigation and therefore the ob-' jects sold are- not ' affected by the prohibition against . exportation. .

This is the gist or an opinion written by Justice Bean and handed down by the Bupreme court Friday afternoon,, the opinion fixing the amount : of Mozo roskya bail at $2000.,: Following the rendition -of judgment for $1600 against Mozorosky in favor of Swire, the latter obtained his arrest and imprisonment for failure to pay the judgment. Mozo rosky instituted habeas corpus proceed ing for his release from jail, which was denied him, and - he then appealed to the supreme court. Ball was also denied hint on the ground that there was no provision in the Oregon code admitting a. plain taiff to bail on an appeal in a hsbeas corpus proceeding. Friday's opinion does not attempt to pass upon the habeas corpus proceeding, but merely admits the plaintiff to ball pending the determination of the other question, which also Involves his im prisonment. ! .
