ARNS DELEGATON | | sary, to maintain order which has || put by one American correspondent | | mizht be made a vehicle for recogni- MEXICO WITHOUT Obregon Will Not Send Rep- | resentatives Here—Dis- cusses Issues. | By the Assoclated P MEXICO CITY, October 15.—Presi- dent Obregon, in & conference Wwith American newspaper correspondents today, made four important declara- tions, substantially as follows: That Mexico will have no official representatives at the impending | Washington conference. That the question of the recognition of Mexico by the United States re- mains in “status quo.” That the Mexican federal govern- ment will support the Puebla state authorities, even with troops if neces- been threatened as a result of pro- tests agajnst tax laws in that state. That negotiations relative to the payment of Mexico's foreign debt are in a preliminary stage. Denies Danger at Puebla. President Qbregon discussed for mor: than an hour a variety of sub- jects pertaining, for the most part, to internal affairs. In alluding to the Puebla situation, he asserted it pos- sessed no elements of danger other than the ordinary appeal of hungry people who are suffering discomforts dlu!e to commerclal paralysis in that city. Gen. Maycotte, federal military com- mander at Puebla, who has been in Mexico City conferring with Presi- dent Obregon regarding the situation there, was to leave here tonight. But, according to President Obregon, he has received “hands off” orders, un- less stern necessity should demand otherwise. The president intimated, however, that unless demonstrations cease and business reopens the fed- eral forces will be employed to re- store tranquillity. Mr. Lamont’s Address. Commenting on the address of Thomas W. Lamont at the American Chamber of Commerce luncheon yes- |terday, President Obregon declared: it was “well animated and conceived in good faith.” The president admitted that he had joffcred his personal services as medi- ator, and they had been accepted, in the controversy between the Aguila Oil Company and the government of the state of Vera Cruz. This generally was understood to mean that the Vera Cruz officials would be told defi- nitely the limits of their jurisdictions. Obregon Denies Union Plaus. Asked if the presence in Mexico City recently of numerous Latin American delegations for the centen- nial celebration had resulted in dis- cussions looking toward a formal fed- eration of Spanish-speaking countries of the western hemisphere, President Obregon answered in the negative, but added: “Doubtless the mem- bers of the missions carried away with them a good impression of Mex- ico, and were convinced its condi- tion is far better than some reports picture.” There was no basls established, he declared, for a rapprochement rela- tive to Latin American unity or the reported sentiment for the annexation of portions of Central America to Mexico. The mixed claims commission for the settlement of claims against Mex- ico is only in the preliminary stage, the president declared. When asked what countries had accepted his re- cent invitation to name members for that commission, he said this was a matter for the foreign relations de- partment, but he understood negotia- tions of a primary nature had been started with several countries. 5 Scouts Amity Treaty. President Obregon maintained his former position that the signing of a | treaty of amity and commerce, as a ! preliminary to the act of recognition. { was impossible. To tho suggestion that the mixed claims commission tion, he asserted that he had spoken his word on recognition matters-and it was useless to discuss hypothet- ical cases. “Each day, however,” he added, “re- moves a few more pretexts for with- holding recognition, and I am_ sure the principal points upon which the United States insists as necessary to recognition have been settled. These are the non-retroactivity of claims under article 27 of the constitution and the foreign debt.” i The greatest problem facing the Mexican government, in the opinion of the president, is illiteracy among: the masses, but he asserted that an| educational plan is well formulatedj and is being carried out as exempli- fled by the recent appointment of Jose Vas Concelos to the new cabinet post of minister of public education. Dover Not Official Agent. Fimer Dover of El Paso, who has been linked with the delivery of com- | munications which have passed be- tween President Obregon and Presi- dent Harding, was described by, Presi- dent Obregon merely as his per!un111 adviser; he was not an official of the Mexican government. The president declared that Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals had come to Mexico City on the invitation to discuss with the Mexican authorities| numerous engineering projects, em-; bracing the railroad, harbor and road improvements. The chief cxecutive was in a most affable mood. He jokingly compli- mented himself on "having survived { the many banquets which he was! obliged to attend during the centen- nial celebration. —_— CIVIL MARRIAGE BILL | TO BE POLITICAL lSSUE]l BALTIMORE, October 17.—A clvlll Imarflnge law for Maryland is one of the bills behind which the Just Gov- crnment League is endeavoring to line up candidates for the legislature. Another is a bill for the removal of | all legal disabilities of women, and a third is for adequate mothers' pen- sions. In speaking of the civil marriage bill, Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, president of the league, said that Maryland is the only state that requires a re- ligious ceremony in the performance of a marriage, a requirement which in most countries in Europe, she said, has not been obligatory “since the French revolution.” There is safd to be much sentiment favoring the set- ting aside of the law making a re- liglous ceremony czpulsory, and the league hopes to crystallize it into ac- | tion by presenting its bill. Getting “dots” on the candldates is || another pre-election pursuit of the; league. In other words, if & woman voter wants to know something about a candidate’s stand on prohibition, the race tracks and other questions of in- | terest to women and will inquire at the league, she will be almost cerul!nl of getting the information she is ter.
