Senators Decide to Get Views

With Southern Republic
INTERVIEW LIKELY TO
BE ARRANGED TODAY
Lansing Says Government Has
Plans Laid for Any Con
tingency WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Steps to
obtain a personal interview with
President Wilson before framing a
senate policy in the strained relations
with Mexico were decided on today
by the foreign relations committee.
The decision was made after Sec
retary Landing had appeared before
the committee, and. it was said by
memoers. nau disclosed that because
ot tne president s illness, he had not
been consulted by the state depart
ment in its handling of the recent
developments which have brought re
lations between the two governments
to a serious stage.
President's Illness No I tar.
At the white house tonight the
president's physician, Dr. Grayson,
said he saw no reason why the com
mittee's representatives, if they ur
gently desired It, could not see the,
I president tomorrow. It was indicat
jed that the two members selected.
Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexi
co, and Senator Hitchcock, Democrat,
of Nebraska, would endeavor to do
so.
In deciding to take its problem di
rect to the president, the committee
divided along party lines, six zltepub
lican3 voting for the proposal and
five Democrats opposing It. The ac
tion came at the end of a day of dis
cussian of Senator Fall's resolution
which ,wojild ask the president to
withdraw diplomatic recognition of
the Carranza government.
It was said by Republican mem
bers that although the committee did
not discuss in detail ; the extent to
which the president's illness might
have interfered with the discharge of
his duties, the point was brought out
that should the Mexican situation
continue to become more critical
some question as to the executive's
physical capability might result.
Democrat Hack Policy.
In opposing the request for an in
terview the Democrats are under
stood to have based their arguments
on a statement to the committee by
Secretary Lansing, who was said to
have declared that the administration
was carrying out a well defined poli
cy of dealing more vigorously with
Mexico and to have questioned the
wisdom of any precipitate action at
this time. The decision to take a
more decisive attitude against inva
sion of American rights in the south
ern republic, Mr. Lansing was quot
ed as saying, was reached some
months ago and now it was about to
develop whether the Carranza regime
would accept or disregard it. He wa
said to have added that the adminis
tration was prepared to. go whatever
length was necessary to enforce that
policy.
; OiHition Not Direct.
Neither the secretary nor the ad
ministration senators, however, were
represented as expressing directly
any opposition to the Fall resolution.
Several attempts lo postpone action
on it came from the Democratic side
and Senator Hitchcock, acting Demo
cratic leader of the senate, suggest
ed at substitute by which the senate
merely would endorse the state de
partment's course in the matter and
declare in advance its support of the
president .should he decide to break
off diplomatic relations.
During the day Henry P. t letcher.
American ambassador to (Mexico, also
went before the committee and was
said to have confirmed many of the
same points as did the secretary in
replv to questions about jthe attitude
of the state departments For some
weeks he has been stationed here and
has assisted in the diplomatic cor
respondence now in progress regard
ing the case of William O. Jenkins
American consular agent under ar
rest at Puebla.
I Lansing Says I . S. Heady.
toj
A reply is awaited from Carranza
the latest American note request
ing in sharp terms that Jenkins be
released and advices reaching here
today indicated that a commission
might be asked for by the Mexican
Dresident to settle the dispute. It
was said Mr. Lansing did not indi
cate what course this government
might take should the reply prove
unsatisfactory but was very emphat
ic in hin declaration that the United
States was ready to shoulder any
consequences which might result
from it$ demands for protection of
American rights.
Virtually all of Ambassador Fletch
er's statement to the committee re
lated to the Jenkins case, but Secre
tary Lansing was drawn into a de
tailed discussion of the whole general
Subject, of relations with Mexico and
told the Inside story of the Ameri
can governments; attitude during re

The order means cancellation of
