AGAINST JOINT

BLISS AND JOINT BODY
General Presents Statement OF the
Situation Which Would Fol.

drawal.

New London, Gonna suggestion
that the Mexican Government create
constabulary for border duty similar
to the rurales OF the Diaz regime was
made during s brief session OF the
American Mexican joint commission
which concluded the second week OF
the deliberations. Apparently the plan
for joint police force, previously
discussed. was abandoned as i'm
practicable after the Commissioners
had conferred with Mai.-Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss, assistant chief Of stan OF the
United States Army
Bliss Tells OF Situation.
General Bliss made to the joint com
mission a dispassionate statement OF
the situation he believed would follow
General Pershing's withdrawal from
Mexico before properly constituted
constabulary is created to relieve his
troops. II Is understood he pointed
out problems in the way OF an effort
to create a border police under dual
authority.
There is reason 10 believe the
American commissioners have sought
20 impress their Mexican conferees
with the view that Mexico must rec
ognize responsibility for the depreda-
tions her nationals may commit on the
border II good relations are TO be un-
impaired. The whole question OF
creating a non-military police force TO
hunt down bandits IN their hill re
treats Is based on this feeling, and 1t
Is believed the suggestion that the
Carranza Government undertake this
task for itself as an international obli-
CATION came from the Mexican com
missioners.
Advantages OF Force Pointed Out.
The theory is that force Of care
fully selected mounted police could be
disposed in small posts in the hill
country. The chase would become an
Individual pursuit rather than mill.
tary movement, which becomes inef-
fective II the bandits scatter and min
gle with peaceful residents, The 20
lice would check up the comings and
goings Of every man IN a suspected
community.
Moving swiftly and unhampered by
women camp followers, who form the
commissary Of a Mexican military
force, the rurales, it Is believed, could
do much toward putting permanent
check on brigandage.
The question Of Mexico's responsi-
billty to protect the American border
will be discussed this week. The
American Commissioners are disposed
not to stand upon any technically OF
laws, but to deal with the situation
as one Of fact, taking into considera-
tion Mexicos social and economic
conditions.
