MEXICO.
EVERYTHING POINTS to peace and
prosperity in Mexico but those
who have closely followed the many
developments in the Mexican republic
during the! past several years are still
-prepared for surprises. Time after
time the world has seen a new. gov-
ernment established a Tiew order of
things promulgated and the people ap-
parently satisfied and happy when out
of a clear sky there has burst the
. storm of another revolution and "with-
in a few days there has been placed
in power a new regime. "Whether the
provisional government of De la Hiier-
ta is to stand or to fall a victim to
another revolution is the big problem
that is now defying solution accord-
ing to the Christian Science Monitor
ivhich says in an exhaustive editorial
discussion of Mexico:
. Circumstantial denial is given in ad-
vices issued by the Mexican Embassy
in "Washington of reported disagree-
ment betwpen Adolfo de la Huerta de
facto President of Mexico and Gen.
Alvaro Obregon who it is generally
conceded is to be the successful cin:
didate for the Presidency at the forth-
coming Mexican national elections.
"Official announcement is made that
3Ir. de la Huerta intends 'neither to
remain An flffice after his term as pro-
visional President expires nor to re-
tire before that time. It is also de-
clared that xeparted dissensions in the
de la Hneria Cabinet do not exist and
that no resignations by the present
chief executive's advisers are expect-
ed. To understand the full signifi-
cance of these official or at least sem-
iofficial declarations it must . be re-
"'membered t that the complete carrying
out of what "has been regarded as the
fixed policy of the new regime jn Mex-
ico depends necessarily upon the
continued agreement between the pro-
visional government and the supposed
dominating faction committed" to the
undisputed leadership of General Oh-
regon. The impression has prevailed
probably not without some reason
that the tenure of Mr. de la Huerta
was simply that of an ad interim ex-
ecutive and that he was to hold office
really as the agent of General Ohrc-
gon until the latter might be regular-
ly elected! for the full term. "Under
the Constitution of Mexico as is well
known General Obregon would have
been rendered ineligible for the Ion
man much younger than any who has
evejr held the Mexican! presidency; and
ahjj individual apparently lacking hi
most of the things which one"- would
ordinarily demand of 'the. president o
a big republic. Mild-mannered even-
tempered the1 provisional president is
said to impress his visitors with his
simplicity and sincerity without any
apparent effort to do! so. In his in-
tercourse with officials of the govern
ment as well as with newspaper men
au)i visitors he appears to give no
thought to the dignity of his position
nnUj readily receives I visitors " in. his
LeUroom or anywhere else he may hap
pen to be. . Pleasant with a merrv
twinkle in his eye-and -a well develop-
ed isense of humor he apparently' en-
joy life to the .utmojst limit" and Is
nojj;obsessed with' fears that there may
bei trouble in the future. Back 'of all
this however he is described as a
man of iron determination and one
wlm on occasion exhibits a determi-
nation that can not bje. shaken.
Whether such a man will . attempt to
retain the presidency! or will be able
to piaintain -peace anjl ordev while a
