Recognition Will Be Natural Outcome Of Mexican Parleys
Special correspondent David Lawrence reports that after months of talks between the United States and Mexico the Coolidge administration must choose whether Obregon promises are adequate to bind future governments to respect American rights. The talks center on whether a treaty is needed or recognition alone would suffice, with the latter likely strengthening peace south of the border. If Obregon is overthrown, treaties may not bind future regimes. This is viewed as the practical path forward, even as the dispute continues.
