J He wants this country’s official recog
nition and its co-operation. Mexico’s
course during the past few years
shows a marked change from the days
when Huerta was in control. We
should not only give Mexico the recog
nition that she wants and so much
needs, but should take her by the
hand and steady her until she can
tread firmly the path to achievement.
Steps taken to do this will meet the
approbation of our people.”
In regard to the prospect of an early
or a delayed recognition the Dallas
News remarks: “The more hopeful is
also the more rational conjecture. The
likelihood is that the document sub
scribed in Mexico City will, before
many days, bring forth from Wash
ington the announcement that an am
bassador to Mexico has been ap
pointed.” From near the center of
| government the Washington Star ob
Iserves: “It has been the hope of the
United States, that, not only would
the Mexicans succeed in establishing
a stable government, but also that the
government of the southern republic
would see the justice of the claims of
this country. These hopes, it is be
lieved, have been and will be consum
mated.” Likewise the Atlanta Jour
nay: ‘‘The Mexican-American confer
ence has come at last to a happy end
ing. After more than three months
of negotiation on long-vexed issues,
representatives of the two govern
ments have reached an agreement
which, though tentative, is believed to
forecast an early and complete settle
ment.”
As far as the press is concerned, i
recognition is highly desirable, pro
vided our legitimate interests are safe
guarded from confiscation and disre
gard. It is hoped that the document
of agreement will satisfy our equit
able demands in every particular.
