Secretary Kellogg Denies Possibility of Mexican Break
Country
State Department Hopes to Arbitrate Disputes With Southern
(United States)
Washington, March 16—Rumors of an imminent break between the governments of the United States and Mexico were countered here today by the state department expressing hope that the states would be settled by negotiations.
Secretary Kellogg authorized a statement that there was no danger of war and that this government does not contemplate issuing an ultimatum.
Tellez Returns to Mexico
This statement followed several weeks of state department silence on the Mexican situation and apparently raised concern on tension on the part of officials here.
Mexico returns to Mexico
Mexico has returned that

"mystery notes" which have not been
Kellogg did not explain what new factors were responsible for the press optimism which clearly reflected hope of peaceful settlement expressed by Tellez his departure from Mexico for Washington for several days.
In expressing a more hopeful attitude officials did not indicate there would be a quick settlement between the two countries, however. Apparent differences in their approaches seemed necessary to adjust differences over the Mexican alien land laws which this government has protested as retractive and constitutive. It is understood that alleged propaganda has tended to increase the tension.
Kansas City Investor Speak on Business Finance
Diplomatic observers here were inclined to discourage any efforts to overemphasize statements made at the department. It was pointed out that Mexican-United States relations have been characterized by periodic attacks against the United States, criticism of the moment may be followed by another crisis.

Prescott, president of the investment bank company of Kansas City, Mo., former president of the Investment Bankers Association of America, speaking to classes in the business school.

Mr. Prescott analyzed the problems of the investment banker step by step. The many tests considered in investment banking required an agreement to finance a concern were pointed out and definite cases were given as examples.

Economic Break Feared
Coolidge Apprehensive; Experts Are Not Alarmed
(United Press)
Washington, March 16—Mysterious activity at the White House the last few days has been due to the apprehension of President Coolidge because he was accused that it cause a break in economic conditions. The best minds of the party, however, have informed him that buying sell off suddenly because large stocks were laid up and that production will not be as seriously affected because there are absorbing orders on hand. There facts, it developed today, are still available, evidence which the President has sought with Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Senator Fess, Republican from Ohio, and others officially described as "social calls." Fess is confident that there is no possibility of a break; Hoover holds the belief that the government are based on views of people who should know the inside of the press economic situation.
Mr. Coolidge is extremely interested in economic trends because they not only involve the condition of the country, but also because it is governmental and important. During the next year will influence the political destiny of the country.
Prince of Wales' Pians for Future Create Interest
King George V Expresses
Desire That Edward
May Be Married
at Near Date
(United Press)
London, March 15—Great as he has become in the affairs of the British Empire and in the hearts of his people, the Prince of Wales has yet to live through the two chief events of his career. One is his marriage and the other his succession to the throne.
When King George V passes Britain will mourn the loss of a beloved ruler, the man who so nobly worked and suffered with his people during the dark days of the war. But when his eldest son takes his place there will be a king more popular and more well-respected ever sat on the throne of England.
Only a misfortune can prevent the working of the immutable law. Young Edwin enjoys excellent health and takes care of himself. An acuteness of his mind would succession would be a great national tragedy. The present system of government is not likely to change, and no political party now in England would dare to stand in his way. So he would stand, that he will be Edward the Eighth.
What kind of a king will he be? This is the only question open to serious speculation. He has a will of his own and a tremendous following. The general impression is that, with proper willfulness will be safe, perhaps clarified.
Marriage Is Uncertain
When Edward becomes king he will probably suppress much of his natural enthusiasm which is so attractive in the Prince of Wales, but none of his people want him ever to lose his delightful personality. He is already reconciled to his lack of freedom, but later his activities will be even more adrenaline-driven. It would be a pity if he were to marry now because he would lose that halo of romance which he wears as a prince who is single.
The other big event in his life, his marriage, still appears as 'uncertain' as the first from the point of view of the time of its occurrence. Gossij has been trying to get the Prince enraged ever since he was a child. In 1911 there was a report that diplomatic machinery was moving to marry him to the eldest daughter of King Leopold II, and this practice every available princess in Europe has been connected by speculation with him. He may even marry a commoner. If he married an English girl the match would certainly be popular with the people. The Royal Marriage Act does not now permit this, but the law could easily be changed, so it would date Edward. The marriage of the Duke of York with a commoner which did not come under the Royal Marriage Act because the Duke was not in the direct line of succession. Has proven extremely popular. Several English girls have been mentioned as possible queens, but nothing has yet come of any of the rumors. The Prince himself laughed at them. He seems the least concerned about his future in this respect. He is reported to have once remarked, "England had a virgin queen who was a great success; why not try a virgin king?"
In any event, it is rather certain that Edward will choose his own wife when the time comes.
King Wants Son
It is no secret that the King and Queen would like to have their eldest son married. It is unusual for the heir to a throne to remain a bachelor so long. Although Edward will be grandfather to his children, Older men who have been in close touch with him through their service say that he has not yet reached the full花序 of his maturity.
King Wants Son Married
For a man who gets about so much and has met so many people of varied rank and nationality the Prince of Wales is astonishingly free from calamny. Petty gossip about him makes him feel like an all night in a Mountmartre cafe, or gamblers at Deauville or Biarritz, or blackens his face with burnt cork and does a mock "haka," as he did with his friends after seeing the Maoris exhibition in New Zealand, he does with a good grace and only proves his intelligence by being with life. His reputation and character remain untainted.
