- PROPOSITION IN MEXICO Conditions in South “Republic More Hopeful, But Await- ing U. S. Recognition By Ralph H. Turner Mexico City, Oet. 12. (By Malil.) ~——Mexico is brightening up. It may be said by the same token, that Mex- fco also is “picking up”, both social- t».and commercially. The old-tim- ers, both Mexicans and foreigners, who have seen ten years of revolu- N\ tion, hesitate to venture a guess wlten asked how long this condition will continue, but they do not deny that “Mexico today is —more wide- awake, more cheerful and looks to the future with more confidence than at any time in the past eight or ten years. % It is five months now since Venus- tlano Carranza fled from his capi- , tal™and passed into the limbo of “late, lamented”’ Mexican presidents. It is four months since Adolfo de la Huerta, his successor, took the oath of oftice. And in a little over a month, Alvaro Obregon, president- elect, will assume the chair, which, it Obregon is a strong enough man, he may occupy for four years. So it may be opportune to take stock of Mexico today. 4 .t should be said, in%justice to de 1a\ Huerta, that’a provisional gov- ernment of only six months duration is confronted with adminisiration ~ difficulties wehich cannot be elimin- ated in such a brief period of time. These difficulties will be Obregon’s heritage. It is up to Obregon to res- ¢ue Mexico. If Obregon fails—but that is peering into the future. This is. a story of the present. .-“The improved conditions thruout the Republic are reflected particular- 1y in Mexico City.

The people seem better dressed and of a lighter frame of mind. They seem to have more money to spend. Business is. improving. The town is cleaner. The depression of many years’ duration is beginning to lift. Mexico City presents the bustling ap- pearance of a metropolis going to work. Motor cars' so throng the streets that the traffic'problem.is the most critical in history;. The ho- tels are full, either with Mexicans who have returned from ‘abroad, or with foreigners, -principglly Ameri- cans, who have come to seek business opporunities. . “The beggars, it is true, are still with us. In fact, they seemn to have! increased perceiving that their field is more profitable with the dawn of prosperity. They range from small children, who, since the increased Americanginflux hdve increased their tncome by learning to say, ‘Hello, 1meester, please gimme five cents,” to theiold men and women in rags who!, extend their ‘palms with supplica- tions “a Dios,” There is one, sin- gularly successful, who waits until the: traffic cop’s “‘stop’, sign has halt- ed the long stream of automobiles on the, main thoroughfare. ' ‘Then he pasges from car to “car, collecting from all the occupants who are touched by his appeal. The govern- tre with more certainty than de la Huerta. It is expected, too, that Ob- regon will surround himself with al- most a wholly new cabinet, which tends to slow up the plans of some government departments. Obregon’s task -will include the upbuilding of the railroads, the settlement of the oil controversy, the meeting of claims for losses sulfered by foreign nation- als, an arranfgement to begin pay- ment on the national debt and the re- organization of internal finances. It is a herculean task that confronts Obregon, but he -will have a.peace- ful, increasingly ‘hopeful nation to deal with, thus giving the situation a vastly brighter tone than it posscss- ed six months ago. What ‘Mexico wants—wants above cverything else—is the recognition of her government by the United States. The question of recognition trevolves in a circle. -1t amounts to jthis: The Mexican government rec- og! s that the United States— and Britain and France as well—will de- !mand the fulfillment of certain ob- ligations on Mexico’s part. “All right,” Mexico says, ‘‘assum- g the Justice of these demands, we're eager to settle accounts as soon as possible.” Then Mexico proceeds to busy her- self in cleaning house. But she soon discovers that whether the immediate |problem be the revival of the coun- try’s banking system, the reorganiza- tion of the railroads, the payment of - ment has made no attémpt to eliniin- | in ate the beggar annoyance. a ./The most signal achicvement of [posscss the over.” nancial support of the outside world. the provisional government, as Pre- sident de la Huerta remarked re- .cently to foreign correspondents, is the pacification of -the cowntry: It|principally terest on her foreign debt, of half dozen other matters, she doesn't wherewithal to “put it She needs the moral and fi- But the outside world, represented by the United States, i8 the feeling of safety from bandits|)agn't recognized the Mexican gov- and rebel bands that forms the basis of the new born confidence. But reconstruction has been started in many lines, such as the paving of streets, the reduction of the army and the reorganization of the cus- toms service along the border. Ord- ers;already have been placed for new ratlway material, including locomo- tlves and freight cars, though the national treasury does not permit all of the necessary expenditures along this channel. Construction men -declare that more building is being done today than at any time in the past six years. .One builder considered his work so urgent that, he ordered a large supply of cement from the Unit- ed - States ‘to .be dfvided into small packages and sent by parcels post, not wishing to wait on the slow freight service. Business . between Mexico and the United States is on the upgrade, the American Cham- ber of Commerce estimating that the trade of the two countries will reach a: vajue of $320,000,000 for 1920. As regards the bigger problems, it appears now that most of them will be left for the attention of Obregon, — o ernment and assistance forthcoming.
