Herrick Mentioned For Ambassador to France, Henry Lane Wilson For Ambassador to Italy—Relations With Mexico, the Rhine Situation, League of Nations and the Panama-Costa Rica Controversy Are Receiving Con- sideration. ‘Washington, March 10 (By the A. ) —As the new administration settles down to a working basis, both President Hard- ing and his chief advisers are giving in- creasing attention to the country's for- eign relations. of diplomatic representatives abroad, re- ns with Mexico, the Rhine situation, the league of nations and the Panama- Costa Rici controversy are subjects ip tiie forefront of consideration, aithough there are no indications that any of them have reached a stage forecasting imme- diate action. So far as diplomatic appointments ate concerned, it was sail authoritatively today that no final sclections had been made but that in several cases the field of availables was narrowing toward a decision. The nearest approach to an actual choice is understood to be Myron T. Herrick =f Ohio for ambassador to France, a post from which he resigned carly in the drst Wilson administration. Another who is regarded as very certain to return to the service s Henry Lane Wilson of Indiana, formerly ambassador to MexicZ, vho is mentioned most often in connection with the ambassadorship. to Italy. The question of Mexican relations hinges unon the ability of the new ad- mininstration of "President Obregon to es- tablish a regime that will win American ognition. Just wnat the requirements | is for such recognition should be is occupy- ing the study of officials here and it is possible that some pointed intimations on the subject may go forward soon to Mex- ico City. Much as the White House and the state department home for a full res- toration of diplomatic relations with the southern républic. there is little evidence of confidence that a formal recognition may be possible in the near future. President Harding discussed the Mex- ican_problem today with R. B. Creager of Texas, who has been suggested for smbassador to Mexico In case of ultimate recognition. Later Mr. Creager had a talk with Under-Secretary Fletcher of the state department, himself a former ambassador at Mexico City. No an- nounceraent followed the conferences, but the impression was given that conditions to be required for recognition were un- der earnest discussion. . The situation of the American troops on the Rhine is ome which has been brought forcibly to the attention of the new vresident by the recent advance of | the allied forces into Germany to- enforce provisions of the Versailles treaty. The only aonnuncement made here has been | that the state and war departments were in aecord with the nolicy ‘of the previ- ous administrition insofar as it provided for non-narticioation in the allfed ad- vance. and that. on the other hand. with- drawa lof the American army was not immediactly under consideration. Officials are in close touch with devel- opments. however, and a more definite policy probably will be predicated upon them during the next few weeks. Related in some degree to the Rhine situation is the cuestion of American G tions. Today's despatches from Pai saying that the French embassy here was reported to have apvroached the state department on the subject, were the first public intimation that negotiations re- garding the league had been received and that the general attitude of officials indi- cated that conversations had not yet passed beyond a preliminary stage. There was every evidence, however; that such a move on the part of the Paris government would fit in with. President Harding’s own notions of how the sub- ject should be approached. It has.been or less tentative until almost the moment, Mr. Harding is keeping himself free from _definite regarding diplomatic posts in the belief that shifts may be necessary here and there that will necessitate a rearrange- ment of a large part of his list.

Whether the president intends to send representatives to Eurone, accredited offi- sially or unofficially, to make inquiries for_him has never been revealed. Specu- ation about the capitol has turned tow- presumption that he will do so, n n has busied itself with guesses ihout the men most likely to be selected for such a mission. In this gossip the same of Elihu Root frequently has been nentioned. but if any gort of mission ictually has been entrusted to Mr. Root, >r_anyone else, some of the president's slosest,official aides do not know of it. One plan which is said to have been rzed upon Mr. Harding would provide the despatch of an emissary to estab- sh a listening post at the next meeting £ the league of nations at Geneva during Je coming supper, and later to make a sanvass of sentiment in all the European sapitals. If that is done, it is expected ihat at the same time the embassies and ezations here will be asked to lay on the able whatever information they have as the attitude of their government. and ‘hat out of the whole inquiry a serics of ‘ormal negotiations may eventually be wolved. Some of the highest officials of the ad- ninistration believe it still is too early o forecast toward what objective these iegotiations might point—whether th.y ould contemplate a modification of the present league to make it acceptable or ‘e establishment of an entirely rew in- iernational structure for peace. In his consideration of diplomatic ap- sointments, particularly to the great Eu- mpean capitals, President Harding is tecking men who would.be alive to lal he eomsiderations involved in the league iegotiations. Mr. Herrick, for one, not mly ls familiar with Frefigh aspirations Jirouzh his experiences as ambassador it Paris during the trying early months #f the world war, but he made a tdrip ibroad last eummer and talked over the eague with some of the leading European Ratesmen.
