SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1821. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON CONSTITUTION OF LT II. S. RECOGNITION By David Lawrence v (Copyright. 1921, by The Jtrarnil) Washington, June 18. -The Mexi- - can situation has taken on a new angle. Thus far the differences be tween the Obregon and Harding ad ministrations have been centered on article 27 of the Mexican constitu tion, the United States claiming that Mexico's assurances that the article .would not be retroactive in' effect should be . specifically covered by treaty, and the Mexicans Insisting that they cannot Interpret their con stitution In a treaty. But it develops that' the United States government indulgently omitted mention in its negotiations of one very important point covered in another article of the same Mexican constitution which might have been made the basis for refusing recognition to Obregon if the Harding administration had been disposed to fol low the footsteps of President Wilson. This article it is, number 82 says that the president of the Mexican repub lic shall have certain qualifications, among them this: "He shall not have taken part, directly or indirectly in any uprising, riot or military coup." EVIDENCE AGAINST OBREGQ5T The department of state has on file a statement made by relatives of former President Carranza alleging that the Obregon regime was responsible for the death of Carranza. The evidence is much more tangible than that which President Wilson possessed concerning the part played by Huerta In ordering the death of Madero. and it was because Huerta was believed to have gotten Into office as a result of violence to his pre decessor that Mr. Wilson absolutely re fused to recognize him. The department of state .j has been urged to act because it has a stronger case against Obregon than President Wilson had agafnst Huerta. Mr. Wilson based his objections on the broad prin ciple that peace would cornel to Latin America only by refusing to) recognize governments that obtained power by force .and by assisting only those gov ernments , which were regularly elected as a result of orderly processes. BEFC8AI, WOCI BE JUSTIFIED The Mexicans themselves inserted a clause in the new constitution to pre vent ambitious citizens from ejecting those who had been legally elected, and it" is therefore argued that the Harding administration would be justified in re fusing Obregon recognition because of the provisions of article 82 of the Mexi can constitution. For one of the first tenets of a recognition policy is that the executive of a country shall have been legally elected. The United States government has thus ' far, however, declined to use ar ticle 82 as a basis for action and has simply preferred to await Mexico's at titude toward another article in the same constitution which in actual prac tice has violated verbal assurances given the United States by the, Carranza regime when the latter w-as extended de jure recognition. The American gov- . . .J n ..!. u . W a n . ...!. tion be changed, but that the varying interpretations be cleared up by a defin ite statement in a treaty which shall protect Americans against retroactive action.- ASSURANCES WERE GIVEN It was learned by the writer today, for Instance, that the Wilson adminis tration was given assurances at Mexico City through Ambassador Fletcher to the effect that the Mexican constitution would not be retroactive. Mr. Fletcher is now under secretary of state and is a guiding influence In the I Mexican policy of the Harding administration. He has given the Harding administra tion the benefit of his recollections on . the subject and the American case is based not so much on the language of article 27 of the Mexican constitution as the way the article actually has worked out in practice. The American' government is still waiting for the Mexi cans to take the next step, but it is evident that the Washington authori ties are not as much impressed with the inviolate character of article 27 when lha hair a raaann in HllKnot that article 82 governing the Qualifications of a president are subject to dispute and could If desired be made the basis for a refusal of recognition. That's the viewpoint here, disappointing as it may be to those who had hoped for the early resumption of diplomatic relations be tween the twq countries.

" San Francisco, June 18. (I. N. B.) Wll the arrest of Leone Esmond or Leone Dunbar on a charge of crimi nal " syndicalism, provide a solution of the mystery of the authorship of thje warning" letters which j preceded the preparedness day bombing in 1916, for which Thomas Mooney and Warren K. Billings are serving .life sentences in prison? j Specifically, Mrs. Ksmond, who claims to be the common law wife of Frederick Esmond, I. W. W. leader now serving al5 year sentence in Leavenworth fed eral prison for violation of the espionage law. is charged with the authorship of threatening letters received by Mayor James Rolph and Supervisor James Mul vihill. . 1000 LETTERS WRITTEN I She is suspected, according to Police Captain John I J. O'Meara, who caused her arrest, of the authorship of hundreds of letters threatening scores of prom inent persons for their patriotic en deavors. . . ! Chauncey MctJovern, handwriting ex pert, stated he had probably 1000 letters believed to have been written, by a com mon author to prominent people. j The authorship of the warning letters received before the Preparedness day bombing have always been i a mystery and, according to a statement by the woman, the officers who arrested her directed a large portion of the eight hour gniung xo wnicntney suDjected her 'to questions designed to connect her with 1 authorship of the. Preparedness day warnings. She also declares that they told her that they had reason to believe that Esmond ?'was the arch mind behind the bombing." , j ' i Mrs. Esmond denies authorship of the letters and that Ksmond had any conl nection with the Preparedness day bombing. ; j Activity recalled j However it was considered significant that I. H. McCarthy, a former depart ment of justice investigatorj and one of the dictagraph experts in the Densmore probe of the Mooney case, has been very active in the Esmond case. Max well McNutt, attorney for j Mooney at the time of his -trial, has also been In terested in the Investigation of the Es mond case. Captain O'Meara, Detective William O'Brien and McCarthy ques tioned the woman for eight! hours early Friday morning. They took repeated samples of her handwriting and found that she was ambidextrous, i During the course 01 tne invesetlgation she asked for her purse and Captain O'Meara stated he removed from it a capsule Which he believes contained 'cyanide of potassium, j j SUICIDE THREATENED j 1 McCarthy, 1 who had gained' the woman's confidence through months of association with her, declared she had told him she would kill herself if ever arrested. McCarthy said she spoke sev eral languages, is an expert stenog rapher and an accomplished musician. Officials connected with the cam da- dine to discuss the Mooney jangle of the ease. Upon arraignment, her case went over one week and the preliminary hear ing will probably be delayed some time as her attorney, J. a. Lawlor, will be absent for more than two weeks on an other case and will ask for a postpone ment until his return. !

(WASHINGTON BUREAU OF- THE JOURNAL) Sen ator McNary's resolutioR requesting the president to negotiate a, treaty for the protection of salmon in - the off-shore waters of the United States and Canada is aimed at the seiners who go beyond the three-mile limit, where the law of 50 nation at this time controls. Their methods are said to be destruc tive, small salmon being killed and the salmon supply , depleted before the fish reach the protected waters. Going be yond the three-mile limit to regulate is out of the ordinary, but it is assumed that Joint action by the United States and' Canada will be effective, as those "who fish in these waters are unir one flag or the other, and in any event must de pend upon landing and disposing of their catch in one country or the other. The resolution calls for a treat? "ap propriate to . the purpose of protection from unnecessary destruction, - through wasteful practices, devices and method of capture, of salmon In the waters of the Pacific ocean, off the coasts of the united states, including the territory of Alaska, and of the Dominion of PanaHa both within and beyond the limits of the territorial waters of the United States. Including the territory of Alaska and of the Dominion of Canada, to the extent required for protecting adequately the Interests of the United States." So long as the laws of the two coun tries are divergent, and neither reaches beyond three miles from shore, there Is no hope of effective supervision in the interest of public policy The object is to arrange by treaty to harmonize the regulations and make them coextensive wherever the salmon fishers operate.

La Toilette, N orris To Force Senate to Take Up Irish Issue Washington, June 18. The Irish ques tion will break out in the senate next week. Senators Norris (Nebraska) and La La Follette speeches may draw vigorous senate's attention , their resolution for American recognition of the Irish re public. Norris Intends to speak Monday if he gets the chance. LaFollette will join him in upholding the viewpoint maintained by the Friends of Irish Free dom and similar organizations in the United States. It is not unlikely that the Norris and LaFollette speeches may draw vigorous replies from some senators who for a long time have been Inwardly agitated concerning Irish propaganda of every sort in the United States." It is doubt ful . whether any. subject presented to the American public in recent years has been productive of more discussion by that great army of letter writers who constantly inundate members of congress with their views.

The country - is prosperous -at bottom and the present disorganisation is due to the collapse of our exports.

MARGIN IN SIGHT Income of the government for the year will be nearly $5,000,000,000. according to a recent estimate by Secretary Mellon. This would give the government pocket book a slight leeway between income and outgo for the year, Total ordinary expenditures for . the last fiscal year, which closed June 30, 1920, amouoted to $6,403,000,000, or near ly one and one half billions more than will be paid out this year, unless all present forecasts fail. Up to May 31 the government . had spent a total of $4,616,000,000, according to a statement issued by the treasury department. For the corresponding period of previous fiscal year ordinary disbursements amount to $5,830,000,000.
