COMMISSION
FAR FROM
AGREED
Border Question UnsoIved
While American Represen,
ta6ves Are for Reason as
Against Mexican Pride

Atlantic City. n. j.. Nov. ga. The
Mcxiran.Amerlcan border question
being worked out ,by the Joint com
mission OF the two countries here to-
day. resolved itself into a question
OF reason and American rea-
son and Mexican pride.
Each side is adhering stnbbornly
TO It's guns. but neither feels the sltu-
alton Is hopeless.
Willingness OF the United States to
withdraw It's troops an soon as the
proper safeguards for the future
safety OF the border have been made,
has resulted In centerlng all discus
sion for the present on the form the
border patrol shall take. An agree
ment has been reached up TO a GER
tain point.
Mexican members OF the commits
sion want mutual agreement where
by troops OF the Mexican government
may pursue bandits back into the
United States II any cross into Mex
leo from this side. juet as they win
agree to allow the pursuit OF Mexi-
can marauders across the line and
Into Mexico By United States troops.
This plan, It was learned only to-
day. has been agreed to by the Amer
lean commissioners. providing the
patrol on both sides OF the border Is
under control OF an American gem
eral.
This Ia where Mexican pride has
entered into the controversy Mexi-
can troops, the Carranza representa-
tives say. may be commanded only by
Mexican generals.
American members OF the commits
sion have argued that Jhanifestly the
only sort Of border patrol. that will
work--and the only sort that win
Justify the United States In withdraw
Ing Its troops-is one under a single
directing head. Because Of disorgan-
lied conditions In Mexico. they say
obviously this leader must be an
American.
The Mexican commissioners insist
that separate organizations. under
separate heads. can handle tho situa-
tion. but that. In any event, Mexican
sovereignty, involved In the complete
control OF the country's troops, can
not be sacrificed to present expedi-
ency.
There Is no present disposition on
the part OF the Mexicans to yield the
point. and certainly there is none by
the Americans to accept an arrange
mont which they consider less than
practical. As for the other issues.

subject at times, but the Mexicans
have only listened, On the other
hand, Mexicans, have felt free to dis

themselves and American private In

TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES NEED

Washington, Nov. 23.--An Increase
OF the nations transportation facili-
ties would help shatter the high cost
OF living. A, p. Thom, counsel for
the railroads. told the Newiands
congressional railroad investigation
committee here today. Appearing as
the first witness before, the body
which plans an extensive inquiry In
to the relations between the railroads
and the public, Thom argued that the
railroads now are under burden
which prevents successful marketing
OF securities and a consequent lack
OF development. As for the high
cost OF living, Thom declared:
There have been less than one
thousand miles OF new railroad con-
strncted In the United States during
the past year, This Is less than any
year since lSts, except the period
OF the Civil war, and yet the cost OF
living Ia greatly advancing owing to
a shortage OF supplies, This might
be remcdled by securing access to
new areas OF production Railroad
facilities must grow II the commerce
OF tho country Is TO grow. and all
