TO BE SWEEPING
First Steps Taken in Thor
ough Investigation of For

TRADE INTERFERENCE
Evidence Collected by Commit
tees to Be Groundwork
for Policy
WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.
The first step in what may prove the
ans, important investigation OF the for
@yn affairs of the United States ever
msnned wasy taken today. Democratic
paan,bers of the Senate Foreign Relations
,soynnittee began the collection of evil
ssnee into the alleged British interference
w,fh American trade. The inquiry was
,rstituted by Senator stone. OF Missouri.
cbairman of the committee. II will lay
40 ground work for a complete nvesti-
cation of the entire subject should the
resolution of Senator Hokc Smith, au-
,horizing such an inquiry, finally be APP
proved.
Il nassed an influential group of Senators
nnnosed to such action will try to force
.i5ening of the scope of the inquiry to
include the submarine activities of Ger
many and Austria. Senator Lodge all
ready has offered an amendment to the
Hoke Smith resolution along that line.
Senator's look for open action on the
aoor of the upper house next week on
the foreign situation. AS pointed out in
dispatches week ago. many Senators
oppose any open break with Austria at
this time. They do not believe that the
Ancona situation need he made a serious
one and IL is expected that an effort will
be made to secure passage of resolu
tion asking the State Department for all
Of its facts.
Anticipating flood of resolutions deal
ing with the foreign situation and the
changes resulting from the European
war, Senator Stone has decided that the
Foreign Relations Committee shall gather
all available facts that may be of serv-
ice in any investigation that may be or
dered The committee will be prepared
10 review the entire economic situation
and to determine to what extent Ameri-
can rights are being infringed by the
British interference with neutral COM
merce,
Members of the committee and Chair
man Stone already have discussed this
entire question with Secretary Lansing.
They have tried to find out what secret
Information the department has which
Is withheld from the public, but without
much success.
SO soon as President Wilson gets back
10 his desk next week influential DEM
ocratic Senators will try to arrange a
conference with him to ask that more
publicity be given the real facts in the
foreign relations of the United States.
They will very frankly tell the President
that the efforts of the State Department
u conceal every move that is being made
~ our negotiations with foreign Powers Is
TO blame for many erroneous impressions
that have become widespread, and will
ask that this be changed.
II the President declines to aid in bring
ing about change, then Senators will
try to force the hand of the State De-
partment by asking fo- the corre5pon-
dence with various countries.
Not clone European affairs. but the
secret history of the Mexican negotia-
tons and those with the present Govern
ment of Haiti will probably be asked for.
