tails
In discussing tho Mexican situation
before the committee. j eaid in answer
to question that no pressure was be-
ing brought to bear on us by any OF the
European nations. and that none had
been. Some OF the members or the
committee said that. in view of the
newspaper reports to the contrary, it
might DO we'll If that statement were
given to the public. and | told them
that / would give it to tho public"
Mr.. Bryan took up with tho commit
tee reports the state Department had
received regarding Americans In Mex
leo, and declared II would be inadvis-
able to precip!tate discussion of the
Mexican question in Congress at this
time. incidentally, referring to Great
Britain. nc said the powers were sup
porting the American policy.
Mr.. Bryan expressed confidence that
General Carranza. Constitutionalist
leader. eventually would allow a full
investigation, jointly by British and
American representatives. OF the killing
of William :. Bcnton. lie asserted tho
number of attacks on foreigners in
Mexico had been greatly exaggerated.
