SENATORS TO HEAR

Mexico. Panama Canal Tolls,
Japan and Arbitration Treaties
Conference Subjects.

Washington, Jan. &.-PTesident Wilson
has a busy week Of conferences ahead.
some ON matters Of appointments, others
on the trust question, but none so impor-
tant perhaps as the one which will be held
at the White House tomorrow night with
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons
Republicans and Democrats will gather
for frank talk on the international re-
lations OF the United States. The Presi-
dent has frequently consulted the COM
| mittee on Mexican affairs. in line with a
policy OF keeping the Senate closely in
! formed on Developments. His conference
| tomorrow will be an expansion of that
policy. taking the Senators into his con-
| fdence on other pressing problems of in
! ternational consequence.
1t is believed that the Mexican situation
Will be passed over with the incidental
comment that nothing has arisen to war
rant any change Of policy by this govern
ment and that the "crumbling process
is going on. with prospects OF the down
fall Of the Huerta regime growing bright
er daily.
on the Panama Canal tolls question.
the Japanese alien land controversy and
the unratiied arbitration treaties, how
ever, the President could tell the Senators
great deal The view expressed in ad-
ministration circles hitherto has been that
the Adamson resolution, postponlng for
two years the operation of the free tolls
clause Of the Panama Canal act, might
well be adopted, giving ample time for
diplomatic parleys over disputed points.
The arbitration treaties, it is known,
are uppermost in the Presidents mind,
and it would not be surprising If prsc-
tically the whole conference were de-
voted TO a discussion Of the need for
their early ratification
The proposed Bryan peace treaties, a
few Of which have already been COM
pleted and the principle of which has
been accepted by about thirty nations,
are also likely TO be given prominent
consideration.
