Washington. April 23.—Secretary ir Hughes amounted formally that, In order to hasten the reaching of an understanding with Mexico, two American commissioner^ will meet with two-Mexican commissioners at Mexico City in the very near future. These commtslsonei s will canvass every angle of the situation thorough ly and report back to their respective, governments. This announcement is regarded in official Washington circles as by far th» longest step toward the re-estab lishment of friendly diplomatic relu lions between Mexico and the United States that has been taken during the Harding administration. Arrange ments have been made for the simul taneous publication of the text of the announcement in both countries Tuesday morning. An official interpretation of the an nouncement, obtained from the State department shortly After it was given outT)follows: ' This is merely an attempt of a fi lendly sort to see whether a practi cal liasis can be found for the resump tion of d.plomatic relations between the United States and Mexico If nothing is achieved, the status quo will be maintained. If an agreement is reached tha two governments can then go forward to a final disposition of tha controversy." Basic for Negotiations. Thto is taken to indicate Secretary Hughes sees in the Mexican proposals delivered to President Harding on April 10 evidence that the Obregon government has made sufficient prog less in meeting the views of the State department as to the safeguard ing of Arderican 'property rights In Mexico to warrant the two govern ments in appointirg repieaentativee n meet at the conference table in an effort to arrive at a final solution. Observer* of the Santiago confer ence and the Latin American situa tion generally, are taking the view that the resumption of direct negotia tions with the Mexican government is the more or less direct result of the submission of the Costa Rica plan for the direct representation of I*atin American governments on the i^an American union governing hoard. This |ilan would do away with the present arrangement whereby the "accredited" diplomatic representa tives of American governments to that of the United states also act as I 'he representatives of their respective f countries on the governing board of the union. No Envoy in l . S. Mexico has no accredited diplo n atu: representative to the United States its government* being unrec ognized. and therefore no membership on the governing board. Thia-'pre vented the Mexican government from participating in the formulation of e the agenda for the fifth pan Amerlcnn conference now in ses*ion»at Santi ago, in consequence of which Presi dent Obregon refused the Chilean government's invitation to attend the eonferem e. Further evidence that the Latin . American government generally sym cithizes in its controversy with the I nited States over the nonrecognition of President Obregon was given early in the Santiago conference when the Costa Rican plan was submitted and vss at once given the adhesion of the majority of the delegations present. Speculation on the Artlerican ap i "inlments to the commission in • luiled thk names of Elmer Dover. Senator Bursum of New Mexico, Gov ‘’•not Neff of Texas and former Gov •'not Campbell of Arizona, with the possibilities that Charge D Affaires f.eiiige T.

T , April SJ^ Prealdeni Samuel-Oouipei * of tire American Federation of Labor, addressing the annual legislative conference of the N''V York Stale Federation of Labor here tsday, declared emphatically against removal df the existing re strictions on immigrants. Mr (Inmpers had hern discussing ' he strike* of 1922, which, he said, were a pRrt of a battle of the organ ize.d workers against the efforts of employers and business men to de stroy the labor movement.

The definite announcement of this policy, it is understood, will he made at a luncheon of newspaper publishers in New York city Tuesday afternoon.
