Committee Supports
~. Punitive Expedition

The House Committee on Foreign AZ
fairs is practically unanimous in its
support of the Administrators action
in sending troops across the Mexican
border
At the suggestion of the President,
Chairman Flood acquainted the MEM
bers OF the committee with the
situation yesterday afternoon. The
committee was called together at
o'clock, and after a brief ses-
sion adjourned without taking ac-
ton. In fact, the Administration sug-
gested that no action at the Capitol is
needed at this time. although Mr.. Flood
said the President wanted to keep Con-
gress informed of conditions and devel-
opments.
There was no severe committee criti-
clam OF the course OF the Administra-
ton In pursuing villa and his bandits
across the border.
Congressman Cooper, ranking Repub-
ncan of the committee, expressed doubt
as to whether Villas activities con-
stituted IAN invasion of American ter
connected with no responsible govern
ment." Congressman Porter. another
minority member of the committee
suggested that the President should
have communicated with Congress be-
FORE sending troops across the border.
The point raised by Mr.. Cooper was
the inviolability of national territory
and the questionable right of the
United States to enter Mexico because
of raid Of bandits" There is grave
doubt. according to Mr.. Cooper, that
the so-called invasion Of Villa is really
an invasion in the eyes OF international
law.
The meeting of the Foreign Affairs
Committee followed a brief debate In
the House yesterday afternoon on the
Mexican situation. Congressman Miller
OF Minnesota sought information from
border State members as to conditions
on tho border, and Congressman Stay
den OF Texas started the discussion.
TT is impossible at this time to get
definite information as to the number
that were in this band OF murderers
who came to Columbus. New Mexico,
said Mr.. Slayden. Conditions In Mex,
leo are peculiar, Loyalty tiuctuates and
whether they be Carranza thieves and
murderers or villa thieves and MUIR
derers II makes no difference.
Most OF these people down there dis
like the people of the Unitd states, and
their dislike is such that these ignorant
Indians will sometimes stop cutting
each others threats for the more defect
able pastime of cutting American
threats. 1t makes no difference whose
uniform they wear" .
How long should we offer ourselves
UP to their holiday?' asked Mr.. Miller.
81 think We have already granted a
needless extension OF time" responded
Mr.. Siayden. and the House applauded.

Mexico said his constituents had about
reached the end OF their patience, ~"

THAT almost the entire
