Failure to Restore "Peace and Order"
to Bring Drastic Step Withhold
Full Recognition Until-Treaty Is
Signed No More Sacrifice of Na
tional Policy to Ideals Sub.-Com-
mittee Report Drastic Await Hu
erla's Approval by People.
' WASHINGTON'. May 31. Ttecom
mondation that full recognition of the
Mexican government be withheld un
til an agreement to revise the. const!
tutlon of 1917 in the form of a
treaty ia entered into was made by
Senator Full fo the foreign relations
committee today in IiIb report of the
Bub-comniiitee which has been Inves
tigating conditions In .Mexico.
Should the Mexican government refuse-to
accede to such a condition of
recognition it was suggested that the
American government renew the no
tice that it "would hold a definite
leckonlng" with those in Mexico re
sponsible for the sufferings and
losses sustained by American citizens
Failure of the Mexican govern
ment to restore order and peace in
Mexico and effectively to protect
American citizens 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 between the City of
Mexico and every Beaport and every
border port of Mexico."
It was recommended that Governor
I)e La Huerta, now president ad in
terim of Mexico should not be recog
nized until It was assured that his
selection was approved by the Mex
ican people and tin 111 It was shown
that his administration was of a
stable character and was disposed to
comply with the rules internation
al comity and the obligation of trea
ties. After reading the report the for
eign relations committee directed
Senator Fall to present it to the sen
ate and the Benator planned to do
this later in the day.
"In' the giving notice thnt we are
not warring upont the Mexican peo
pic," the committee's report added,
"we should request their assistance
or at least that thev refrain from
joining nnv armed bunds in anv at
tacks upon our troops or forces,
whose purpose would smplv be the
restoration of peace and order; pro
toction of our citizens: protection of
Mexican citizens; restoration to
American citizens of their properties;
the afford:ng of opportunity for the
opening of mines, fields and facto
ries; and last, the affording of op
portunity for the Mexican people
themselves, in whatsoever manner
thev desire, to constitute a Mexican
eovernment of serious,, competent.
honest and honorablo men who wid
mpct the civilized world upon n
friendly pround and bind themselves
to deal with other people as they
themselves be dealt with."
The outstanding featuVc of the
agreement which the committee
recommends should be the basis tor
the proposed treaty between the
1'nited States and Mexico is that the
oonst'tutinn of 1S.")7 he substituted
lor that of 1017. The committee also
proposes that Mexico agree that none
of the provisions 01 the new const!
. tution b ercgnrded ns confiscatory in
event thev apply to American citizens
that the restriction against the wort
of unv minister of tbe'gospol or nnv
religious bndv in that country should
' be removed and that 'the Article pro
viding for the expulsion of unde
sirable foreigners, known under the
old constitution as "nrticWS 33" be re
vised or eliminated. '
The report covers some 5000 pauc.s
and includes evidence taken bv the
committee ut hearings in Washington.
New York and along the Mexican
border as well as documentary evi
dence to support charges made by
witnesses.
The committee points out that a
new regime has come into power in
Mexico.
