United States subcommittee appoint
ed to investigate relations with Me1
leo concluded it's work in this cit
today. and while it's members are nor
committal as to the subject matte
of the report, they will submit to the
senate committee ON foreign rela
tions Senator Smith says that i
will embody evidence showing tha
since the beginning of the Nader
revolution large quantities of munl
tions have been shipped into Mexico
across the American border.
The report, it is believed, will hold
that the evidence adduced points tc
the necessity for the United State:
to intervene in Mexico in order thai
Americans and American interests
receive proper protection.
The committee has been in continu
Gus session since September l. al
which time the senators left Washing
ton. The investigators spent ten
days in Ell Paso gathering facts, and
ten days in Los Angeles. The re
mainder of the time has been taken
up in travelling. The investigators
have interrogated 500 witnesses and
taken the testimony of seventy-five
witnesses. The testimony covers
more than 500 typewriter pages. The
transcribed notes will be attached to
the committees report to the senate.
Speaking of the testimony todaJ,
Senator Smith said: THE testimony
of every Mexican whom we interro-
Sated agrees upon this one point.
That if arms, ammunition and
supplies needed in warfare were per
mitted to enter the country during
the Orozco rebellion the same as they
were during the Madero revolution,
Orozco would have been in Mexico
City long ago. The rigil enforce
ment of the law against the admission
into Mexico of firearms and ammuni-
tion has been Orozcos greatest handi-
cap"
Analysed, the evidence shows that
during the past two years 100000
rounds of ammunition went into Mex
leo from Ell Paso and $4,000 rounds
from Los Angeles. 1t also shows that
from Ell Paso, 10000 rifles had been
sent across the border. 1t was further
shown that more than 500 tons of dy-
during the revolutionary periods. The
dynamite has been used for mining as
well as for the blowing up of bridges.
No dynamite is permitted to go into
Mexico at the present time.
"A large percentage of the total
amount of firearms, ammunition and
dynamite said Senator Fall, went
into the republic during the Madero
revolution"
1t is SAID the evidence proves con-
clusively that no American money was
used in financing the Orozco rebellion,
but tends to establish the claim that
American funds were used to finance
the Madero revolution.
Senator Fall will leave tomorrow
with Secretary Fred Ireland and it is
east, additional evidence tending to
prove that American money was used
in the Madero revolution, will be OBJ
tanned. Senator Smith, the chairman,
will spend few days more in the
southland and will join Senator Fall
either in Ell Paso or Washington,
when the preparation of the report
and its recommendations will be forth
with commenced. The committee has
until January to file it's report, but
the findings will be transmitted to the
foreign relations committee with as
little delay as possible.
