WILSON ACCEPTS
MEXICAN PROPOSAL
AGREES TO SUBMIT SOLUTION
OF BORDER PROBLEMS TO
JOINT COMM SSlON.
Through Exchange Of Ideas II is
Hoped Way May be Found to Ex-
tend Financial Aid to Merican
Government.

Washington. -General CarranZa has
been informed in note handed to his
ambassador here that the Washington
government is prepared to submit to
joint international commission the
task of seeking a solution OF border
problems.
The proposal Of the de facto gov
eminent for a commission is accept
ed, however. with the suggestion that
the powers of the commissioners be
enlarged beyond the Ewj proposed
in the Mexican note of July H.
Agreement to this suggestion Is ex-
pected and 1t was stated officially
that the American members would be
appointed and the commission be as
sembled at some point in the United
States at an early date.
General Carranza's answer is not
expected for several days and officials
here do not believe the commission
can begin sessions for two weeks at
least. The state department will in
sist that the meeting place be within
the United States. as the question is
not one of mediation, which would re-
quire a neutral setting.
A proposal to widen the scope OF
subjects to be discussed by the COM
mission is viewed In administration
circles as an extremely important as
pect of the situation. II is through
an exchange of ideas on the whole
Mexican problem that it is hoped
way may be found to furnish construc-
tive aid to the de faoto government in
the financial and economic problems
which surround 1t. 1t has been sug-
gested that American bankers might
be urged to go to the aid OF the Mex
lean government under certain condi-
tions. Neither American nor Mexican
officials here have been willing to dis
cuss the policy, however, and 1t APP
pears certain the administration has
no present plan of that nature.
