Mexico

William Phillips, Under Secretary of State, announced officially that satisfactory terms had been concluded with the Mexican Government (TIME, Aug. 27), and that steps were being taken formally to accredit the Charges d'Affaires of each country in the other's capital with full diplomatic powers.

R. B. Creager of Brownsville, Texas, quondam Congressman, will, it is generally believed, be appointed Ambassador to Mexico when Congress assembles. Judge John Barton Payne, one of the Commissioners who negotiated the terms of recognition, denied that he would take the post if it were offered him. Mr. Creager was a personal friend of President Harding and has been mentioned for the post for more than two years. The impression that he would be appointed was strengthened by the fact that he was a visitor at the White House while arrangements for recognition were being made.
