§ Mr. SNELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that the present Government of Mexico under President Obrigon is not recognised by this country, he will state whether any consideration has been given to the policy of the present Mexican Government to advance the prosperity of that country and place the conduct of its affairs on a foundation of stability and orderly progress; and whether the question of recognition will be considered?
§ Mr. McNEILL:His Majesty's Government are watching with sympathetic interest the progress of Mexico towards stability and order, but they cannot disguise from themselves that neither in respect of the security of property nor of the safeguarding of contractual rights, are the fundamental conditions prevailing in Mexico sufficiently improved to warrant recognition at present.
