With the purpose of the punitive ex-
petition, whether it leads to war or not,
no fault was found either by Democrats
or Republicans over the methods that
have been adopted by the President in
dealing with the crisis there is some
divergence of opinion. Under the over
shadowing possibilities of the border tur.
bulence, however, there was no dispo-
sition to press the objections to the
course followed by the President.
The foremost consideration which ap-
parently actuated members of the House
was to put a stop to the Mexican atroci'
ties whatever the cost. So long a.
the administration is moving toward that
end It will be given a free hand

of Congress when the committee met
late in the day to hear what the Presi-

He showed no inclination to press this
question. On both sides of the Capito

While the President and his Cabinet

debate, With the consent of the House
Representative Smith, of Texas, in a ten
minute speech declared that the climax
of the Mexican situation had been
reached and demanded that action be
taken. Representatives Slayden. of Tex

iterated the demand.
These declarations evoked no difference
of opinion. Nor were they made with

Late in the afternoon Representative
Flood, chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, held a telephone conversation
with the White House. He was informed
by the President of the course that had
been decided upon at the Cabinet meet
ing and was told that, unless unforeseen
difficulties arose, there would be no need
of invoking the aid Of Congress in deal

asked to call a meeting of the Foreign
Affairs Committee and inform the mem
