very appropriate address wherein he
pledged the gratitude and reverence
of true Americans in remembrance of
those who had sacrificed all for the
United States. Referring to the trees
that had just been dedicated to the

on organization structure, activities
and nroceedure.

Fall Urges Recognition
of Mexico Be Postponed
Until Agreement Filled
Washington. May SI. Recommendation that full recognition
",llu woa "J
today in His report or tne
tigating conditions in Mexico.
Should the Mexican government re
fuse to acede to such a condition of
recognition, it was suggested that the
American government renew the no,
tlce that it would hold "to a definite
reckoning" those in Mexico respon
sible for the sufferings and losses sus
tained by (American citlcens.
Fall pre of the Mexican government
to restore order and peace in Mexico
and effectively to protect American
citlsens would be followed in the plan
suggested by the sub-committee by
the dispatch of an armed force into
that country "to open and maintain
open every line of communication be
tween the city or Mexico and every
seaport and every border port of Mex-
ico.
It was recommended that Governor
De La Huerta, now president interim
of Mexico should not be recognised un
til it wj assured that his selection
was approved by the Mexican people
and until it was shown that his . Hd
mlnlstra'lon was of a stable character
and was disposed to comply with the
rules ot lnterntlonal comity and the
obligations of treaties.
After receiving the report the fore
ign relations committee directed Sena
tor Fall to present it to the senate
and the senator planned to do this la
ter In the day;
"In the giving notice that we are
not warring upon the Mexican peo-
pie." the committee's report addeo.

at least that they refrain from joining
any armed bands In any attacks upon
our troops or forces whose purpose
would simply ba the ' restoration ot
peace and order; protection ot our clti
sens; protection of Mexican citizens:
restoration to American citizens of
tholr properties; the affording of op
porunlty for the opening of mines,
yields and factories; and last, the af
fording of opportunity for the Mexican
people themselves, In whatsoever
manner they desire, to constitute a
Mexican government of serious, com
petent, honest and honorable )meti
who will meet the civilized world up
on a friendly ground and bind them
selves to deal with other people as
they themselves would be dealt with
The outstanding feature of the
agreement which the committee rec
ommends should be the basis for the
proposed treaty between the Unltoi
States and Mexico Is that the consti
tution of 1867 be substituted for that
of 1917. The Committee also propos
es that Mexico agree that none ot the
provisions of the new institution
commonly regarded as confiscatory
shuld in any event apply to American
citizens, that the restriction against
the work ot any minister of the gon -
pel or any religious body in that
country should be, removed and thut
the article providing for the expulsion
of undesirable foreigners, known un
der the old constitution as "article
33" be revised or eliminated.
The report covers some 5000 pdsys
and Includes evidence taken by the
committee at hearings in Washington,
New York and along the Mexican
border as well as documentary evi
dence to support charges made bv
witnesses.
The committee points out that a
new regime hag come Into power A t
