Carranza as an investigating body to
study and settle controversies be-

The commissioners would be d.
rected to work out a complete series

OF the two countries. They would
have inquisitorial powers and would
be expected to search out the causes
of the differences between the PEG
pie on the two sides Of the boundary
line.
They would be expected to make a
report with testimony by Americans
and Mexicans as to the incidents
leading to the border raid that pre-
cfnitated the punitive expedition in
to Mexico.
Neither Ambassador Arredondo or
Ambassador Fletcher would be on
the commission nor would any Of
ficer of the state department or the
Mexican foreign of1ce. Mexican
members. however, would be affiliat-
ed with the defacto administration
though not in the diplomatic depart
ment Negotiations would start at
some point on the border; probably at
N Paso or San Antonio. in order that
Mexicans and United States military
authorities might give the commission
their hAlp. Later the commission
would come north to some summer
resort. Asbury Park or Atlantic City
heinp favprably considered.
