EARLY RECOGNITION
LIKELY FOR MEXICO
Forecast Made By Secretary Colby
At State Department.?Mexican
Question Will Be Answered
Washington, Oct. 30 (By the Associated
Press.)?Early recognition of
the new government in Mexico was

lave been in progress with Roberto

:he Mexico City government, however,
Mr. Colby said that these gave
'promise of a speedy and happy out:ome."

Earlier in the day a report
:irculated in New York that recoglition
was imminent met with emphatic
denial at the state department
few hours later, however, Secreary
Colby made public a letter from
Hr. Pesqueira as the basis for his anlouncement
saying it afforded a founlation
"upon which the preliminaries
o recognition can confidently proved.
"I think I am warranted in saying"
At. Colby's formal announcement
aid, 'that the Mexican question will
oon cease to be a question at all inismuch
as it is about to be answered
lot only as it doncerns the United
states but, indeed, the whole world
is well."
Mr. Pesqueira's letter told of his
arlier informal negotiations with
Jnder Secretary Davis at the state
lepartment and said it was "at new
ilexico" which, "submitting herself
o the recognized principles of interlational
law" .now sought recognition
iy the United States. Mr. Colby decribed
the letter as "a very signifiant
and a very gratifying and reasuring
statement of the attitude and
lurpcse of the new government of
lexico.
Has Full Authority.
Mr. Pesqueira, formerly Mexican
inancial agent "in New York, reently
returned from a flying visit
o Mexico when he was appointed
onfidenttial agent to succeed Feriando
Iglesias Calderon, recalled,
dr. Colby's announcement said Mr.
'esqueira "came to Washington
tearing the fullest powers to speak
md act on behalf of his governlent."
George Creel, former chairman of
he committee on public information
ccompanied Mr. Pasqueira to the
lational capitol. Before his deparure
Mr. Creel had a personal interiew
with President Wilson. Pubished

Paris, Oct. 30?Never before in the j \
listory of American politics has the (
7rench nation taken so deep an in- ?
;erest in an American election, nor 1
las the French press given it so much s
iublicity. During the last few weeks s
;he newspapers have discussed at
ength the chances of both candidates t
ind the effect the result of the elec- s
;ion will have upon future Franco- t
American relations. As election day \
iraws near, most of the newspapers j
:arry columns of comment as well as
i large amount of cabled matter, t
They publish photographs of Senator j
rlarding on his front porch and Gov- t
jrnor Cox speaking from the rear
>latform of his train.
The Figaro today devotes a column
;o an article on the probable effect
)f the women's vote upon the elec;ion.
The Echo De Paris prints a long
:able dispatch from its Washington
:orrespondent, giving Senator Hardng's
comment on the recent interview
given by Leon Bourgeois, president
of the counsil of the League of
Nations on Article X of the League
:ovenant.
All the newspapers refer to Presi-;
lent Wilson's speech of yesterday,
:one of them adopting a partisan at;itude
but expressing regret at the
President's physical breakdown and
satisfaction that he retains all his
nental faculties. /
