trical Workers, asking him to call such a meeting.

of the Treasury Do la Huerta and the
international committee of bankers in
New York is now ready to bo presented
for final ratification to the Mexican
congress when it convenes in Septem-
ber. The agreement was ratified and
signed yesterday by President Obregon
without the slightest change in the
original text.
The president has had the text of
the agreement at hand since Senor
De la Huerta returned from the United
States, but it was not until Sunday
that his health permitted him to go
over IL •
It is understood the president at first
objected to some of the clauses, but
yielded to De la Huerta’s request for
unequivocal ratification.
In newspaper circles the president’s
action is hailed as another step toward
recognition by the United States, al-
though it is realized that in order for
the agreement to become effective
congress must give its assent.
