2 THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. APRIL 16. 1921. Mexican Problem To Be Considered By.Sec'y. Hughes American Charge at Mexico City Summoned for Impor tant Conference Attitude . " Much Like Wilson's. Washington, April 15 Considera tion of the Mexican problem by Sec tary Hughe was forecast today by format announcement that Charles T. Summerlin, American charge at Mexico City had been called to Washington for a conference. Mr. Summerlin left the Mexican capital last night. It is understood that in general the attitude of the government will not differ greatly from that indi cated by former Secretary Colby when he informed the Mexican gov crnment. that a siencd acknowledge ment of its intention to safeguard the lives and interests of Americans must be one of the preliminary steps to recognition. Reports to the department of con ditions in Mexico have varied widely Some have represented President Obregon as the victim of so much intrigue and open opposition as to threaten his tenure of office, while othert from persons as equally trust worthy have insisted that the Mexi can president was more than holding a is own and restoring order and security. The American policy, .however, will not be based wholly on condi lions in' Mexico, it was explained. Official reassurances of the future policy of the Mexican government in dealing with Americans will be in sisted upon, and it is understood that a modification of article 27 of the constitution for nationalization of oil, or at least satisfactory assur ance that it will not be retroactive in its effect will be demanded, before recognition is extended.
