Mexico

Commissioners Charles Beecher Warren and John Barton Payne (who had been in Mexico City the past three months) returned to Washington to lay the results of the "Mexican recognition conference" before the State Department. The details of the tentative accord which has been reached (see page 12) remain unknown until the publication of the minutes of the conference. But the Commissioners regard their work as completed.

When Secretary of State Hughes and President Coolidge have examined the results, they are expected to make public the steps that the U. S. will take--which may well include diplomatic recognition, the execution of a formal treaty, the appointment of an Ambassador to Mexico.

The name of Congressman R. B. Creager of Texas is mentioned for the post of Ambassador, inasmuch as President Harding was known to favor Mr. Creager--a former neighbor of his at Marion, O. It is " understood " that Mr. Coolidge will follow his predecessor's intention; but predictions about the new President are unreliable.
