HUGHES'S DEMAND ON MEXICO PUTS OBREGON IN PERIL President of Southern Republic Said to Be Unable to Act Independently. NEW TREATY HALTED. . American Note and Bear Raid on Oils Come Closely ,To- gether, It Is Pointed Out. (Special From a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, June 11.—Refusal of the United States to grant recogni- tion to the Government of Mexico ex- cept on the basis that full protection be given to American holders of oll grants in that country has placed President Obregon in a precarious situation, more especially since that refusal js in the shape of a formal statement which goes beyond the point of direct negotiations with the existing Mexican Government and obviously was intended for circulation among the Mexican people. This was indicated when report came here from George T. Summerlin, American Charge d’Affaires in Mexico City, that the statement of the Sec- retary of State had been made pub- lic in Mexico City only in an incom- plete and garbled ‘form, where- upon the Washington State Depart- iment had notified the American Charge to take steps to make public in Mexico the full and complete text of the Hughes expression, “so that the Mexican people might fully un- derstand the American Government's position.” Whatever may be the situation tn Mexico as regards the tenure of President Obregon, it is evident that a distinct hitch has developed in the procedure to secure a new treaty. There has been no formal reply to the note of Secretary Hughes, but unofficial advices state that the Mexican foreign department regards the Hughes note as objectionable, for the reason that stipulations are set forth “contrary to the precepts of Uke Mexican constitution, and which the President, who must, first of all, have regard for the constitution, has nO power to accept.” The Hughes note has placed Obregon between two sres, so that he can no longer decide the issue on merit or desire, but where it is apparent he must take first view of the political situation as it regards himself. Some weeks ago assurances had been given at the White House that negotiations were proceeding in a highly | satisfactory manner. came the visit to Washington ot vharge d'Affaires Summerlin and his jater return to Mexico with indica- uons that nothing had happened to change the even tenor of procedure. ‘Then, without warning, came the an- nouncement of policy by the State Department, seemingly hurriedly pre- pared, and after the White House had fet it be known that the Mexican situation had been the subject of Cabinet discussion. There had been no intimation of the sudden decision| but observers felt sure the Hughes statement was issued to forestall event in Mexico and to some gne to the punch.” Since the whole controversy is oil rights, events and coin- “beat weory be correct. ing the ratification of the Colombia, which was ‘d by the Administra- frankly as an oil conservation nd investigation brought t that large oil investors vere diverting their in- ountry and without y uld suffer the same handicap which had deen met in Mexi.co. This brought closer atten- tion to the Mexican oil situation, with many statements from authoritative sources that the Mexican wells were going dry and that either new devel- opment Would be required under Goy- ernmental protection or the invest- ment would be lost, Holders of American oil securities, representing powerful interests, were at the same time seeking to secure a high protective tariff against oii; and with indications of success, But the contest got away from administra- tive and legislative channels into financial circles. It coincidence that the Hughes statement caine at the end of the first bear raid this week in Wall!

WASHINGTON, June 11.—Hish Prices ef footwear which obtained during 1918 and were increased in 1919 resulted from “abnormal con- ditions of supply and demand, both economical and psychological, arising from the war,” the Federal Trade Commission to-day reported to the House of Representatives. The report was submitted in response to @ reso- lution, “Incidental to these conditions,” the report added, “were large margins of profit taken by tanners, shoe manufac- turers, wholesalers, jobbers and retail- ers,” whose large earnings were de- clared to 6e “out of all proportion to the increase in thelr cost per unit.” ‘The advance in the price of shoes finally was terminated by the so-called “buyers’ strike” in the spring of 1920, according to the report. “The present prices of bides and skins and the conditions existent in these phases of industry justify an ex- pectation of still further declines in the quoted prices of leather and shoes.” Barnings of 36] reporting shoe manufacturers, representing 62 per cent. of the 1919 production, averaged 16.2 per cent. on their total énvest- ment, according to the commtssion’s figures. “These large earnings of tanners and shoe mamufacturera,” the report says, “were due primarily to the fact that their selling prices increased out of all proportion to the increases in their costs of production. “Parnings of 32 typical ghoe whole- salers and jobbers averaged about 22 per cent of investment én 1918 and about 31 per cent. in 1919, Darnings of 46 typical show retailers averaged about 25 per cent. in 1918 and about 32 per cent. in 1919. These earnings, like those of the tanners and manu- facturers resulted from wide margins of profit taken on each shoe sold.” ————— COL.

LONDON, May 27. The suggestion that’ printing from type ig likely to be super- ceded was made by William Gamble at the Werld’s Congress of Printers held here, He said that at least three inventors were trying te develop a phote- gtaphic process te take the place of printing from type. He predicted that the machines for printing by photographic process would hardly occupy more space than a typewriter, nor be any more complicated. It is his opinion that eventually the great printing presses in news- paper offices would give place to smaller, swift-running and com- paratively noiseless machines, which woald turn out printed matter with almost the same fa- cllity as the moving picture op- erator reels off his film. ———- KIRKWOOD LOSES TO MITCHELL IN PRO.
