, Msxlee City, April 17 .-Secretary of
stats Hushes has been' rebuffed (or attempting-
te alseuea International affair
directly with the governor , of Dinnto,
int4 of towth the proper channel.
tU president of the Mexican federal cot
mroenC aeconJln to the vie taken
hr of the Uteat exhang-e acre the
Tile Grande. , , ' I .
The American government delivered
-a a unofficial communication to the aov
ernor of Duranco through the American
rnnaul. calling attention. ta certain dia
crtpanciee between the atate agrarian
law and the federal constitution, and
aklng that the matter be cleared, up.
Tbls Inquiry followed the practice
silopted by the department of stats In
eaUne with the lew of Sonoro, 8an
luia 1'otosl and ether atatea. . t .-.
Tbe American cot was coached In
tl. moat cordial teema, but called at
tention to the fact that if American
vera forced to accept state bonds', for
expropriated lands, the United n States
vnuld have only dipiotnatlo reeowrae U
)h bonda were not redeemed, each re
course being in variance with the pre
rtonia. ' i
. "It haa always been our desire to
maintain uninterrupted friendly rela
tkrna with our neighbera," the atate de--l'artment
coenmunlcatlon says, t.
. The governor's answer decllnea ta eoa
alder the matter at all except through
national dipiotnatlo channels and refers
;1ae American consul to the Mexican
i epresentatlva In all International mat-
' tra, "the constitutional president of the
t;nlid 8taua of Mexluo, Clttxen Alvaro
The Incident aroused little coram en t
here, bow-ever, being considered merely
anether failure of the department . of
atate to secure definite assurances on
U.ines pending between the nations.-'
Judical leaders here are watching the
Cenoa conference closely and it la be
lieved In political circles that the -Quee-
.tien of reoognltlon of Ruasla and the
arrangements being made for. honoring
the Russian debt will have a treat In
fiuence on the future development of
Mairteo'a Policy.
' One prominent political leader said
that "it Russia is recognised,' Mexico
tnl-ht as wall become frankly Bolshevist
and see It she can secure similar action."
Rumors of imminent American reeog
nition have failed to cause any effect
In inner political and diplomatic circles
here, where It la reiterated that the
atatementa of International policy of
-both nations remain unchanged and are
atiti to be taken at their face value.
These rumors, however, have gone far
toward checking Incipient uprlalngs in
several parte of the country, particularly
In the army. But the effect, la begin
ning to wear oft at the etpecUd 'recog
nition seems nearer . than before.
