Great American fi nancial interests will be held, respon sible for the revolutions In Mexico and Cuba by the sub-committee of ' the senate foreign relations cninmlt- tee which baa been investigating con- dltloria in thoce countries. The sub j committee under the direction of Sen I ator William Allen Smith, cf Miehi ' gan, expects to conclude Its Inquiry ' shortly and to submit its report to con&ress Immediately after the Christ mas holidays. Thia report promises to be a scathing arraignment of Amer ican business interests for the part they played in aiding the overthrow of the Diaz government In Mexico and la the attempts they made to cre ate disturbances In Cuba. Some of the Interest?, it is asserted, were anx ious to have the United States Inter vene both In Meicico and Cuba with a view to annexing those countries to the American republic. The report of the Smith sub-committee will disclose that the United States has served as a base for Mexi can and Cuban revolutionists. That large sums of money have been ob tained from American financiers for nse iu fomenting discontent and aid ing in revolutions; that munitions of war have been purchased in thia coun try and shipped in violation of neutral ity laws to the neighboring states.

The order forces the companies to show what they are charging shippers under present rates, and makes a com parison of what would be charged if the suggested rates become effective.
