DEMAND ON MEXICO RETERATEDBY U.3. Paper Says Hughes Insists . Upon Deeds With Regard { _ to Guarantees. MAY NOTES ANSWERED . Confiscatory Program of Obregon Said to Be Complained of by Secretary. By the Associated Press. . MEXICO CITY, August 8.—Mexico * again has been told by Charles E. Hughes, the American Secretary of State, that Mexico's accomplishments regarding guarantees for American properties and interests must be more of deeds and less of words, i American recognition s to be ex- tended to Mexico, according to Ex- celsior. A communication to this effect, the paper says, was delivered by George . Summerlin, the American charge d'affaires, to Foreign Minister Pani last Thursday, in answer to the Mexi- can foreign office notes of May 4 and 24, In which it was asserted that Mexico would provide the guaran- tees aimed to be secured by a treaty of amity and commerce and insisted upon by the State Department at ‘Washington. Excelsior asserts that It has re- ifable knowledge of the communi- « cation, which it describes as em- bodying friendly insistence by Mr. Hughes that recognition of Mexico must be preceded by some Written y uarantee that American holdings in g!exico are not to be subject to con- Bscation. - Embassy Remains Slent. The American embassy has main- tained its usual policy of silence on the situation, all inquirles Dbe- ing referred to the Mexican forelgn office, where it was said such matters must be treated confidentially. From other sources, however, it was learn- ed that the communication referred to by Excelsior was in the form of a letter from Mr. Hughes to Mr. Summerlin. It was dated July In it the American Secretary of State reiterates his previously enunclated policy toward Mexico and asks the charge d'affaires to incorporate the letter in an _informal document to Senor Pani for the perusal -of tie latter. It is understood that Mr. Hughes while Insisting on a treaty, points out that it in nowise shall Impugn Mexi- can sovereigaty nor offend Mexican pational pride or dignity. The letter is said to call attention to the appar- ent conflscatory program which has been carried out during the Obregon sdministration against American property owners and to say that un- til fair and reasonable compensation is provided formal diplomatic ,rela- tions between the United States and Mexico cannot prevail. Although the tone of Mr. Hughes' communication s =aid to have been « friendly and to allow all freedom to Mexico in the accomplishment of its guarantees. persons Who profess to know assert that, neverthel 3 slight undercurrent of there is a trritation over it i Excelsior saya Great Britain, France and Belgium recently sug- - of President which Secretary Hughes replied in formal communications reiterating his stand with regard to a treaty. Much interest is felt here with re- gard to the complexion of the next congress, which will convene the first week in September. Chief inteTest here lies in the attitude which will be assumed by congress on the amendment of article 27 of the con- stitution dealing with the oil situa- tion, and the agreement entered into in New York by Secretary of the Treasury de la Huerta with Ameri- can bankers. The financial agreement reached by Gecretary of the Treasury de la Huerta and the international com- mittee of bankers in New York is now ready to be presented for final ratification to the Mexican congress when It convenes In September. The agreement was ratifled and migned vesterday by President Obre- gon, without the slightest change in the original text. President Obregon has had the text of the agreement at hand ever since Senor de la Huerta returned from the Tnited States, but it was not until Sunday that his health permitted him to go over it with the latter, point by paint. It is understood the president at first objected to some of the minor clauses. but vielded to Senor de la Hiterta's request for unequivocal rati- fication, and affixed his name to the dpeument just before the banquet which he tendered to his private sdcretary, Fernando Torreblanca, and pis bride, who was Hortense Calles, daughter of the secretary of the lxxl%nr. In newspaper circles the , president’s dction is hailed as an- other step forward toward recogni- tipn by the United States government.
