NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. IA
~ Mai Gen. Tasker II. Bliss as
sistant chief of staff OF the United
States army, is to appear before the
American Mexican commission tomor-
row when discussion of border prob
lens Is renewed He will he the first
and possibly the only witness to be
Joint session as II Is said to be the
desire OF the American commissioners
TO expedite deliberations by keeping
tho door closed against an endless
succession OF persons who wish to be
heard. 1t was thought advisable that
General Bliss should explain in person
to the Mexican commissioners the
military aspects of border plans as
seen by United States army officials.
No definite plan for border patrols
has been taken up in the minds Of
the commissioners. The Americans
coferred with General Bliss again
today.
For Border COnstabulary.
II was Indicated that the proposal
which has appealed most strongly to
them was that border constabulary
be created to operate as a police force
along both sides of the line. II was
suggested that the force be composed
OF former soldiers OF both countries
under Joint control and that the eX-
pense be shared by both governments.
Details OF the plan have not been
worked out In it's favor, II was
argued that the Mexican people would
not feel toward the constabulary the
same hostility that they displayed to-
ward the American troops which have
crossed the line.
To Use Police.
1t also was suggested that the police
force would be far more effective in
clearing the mountains Of northern
Mexico OF bandits than either Mexican
or American troops The joint com
mission probably Will adjourn tomor-
row over the week k-ond to permit the
Mexican members to celebrate the
Mexican Independence day Septcm-

In statement issued tonight the
following summary OF tOdays pro-
ceedings was given:
THE session was devoted to an in
terchange OF views on the enforcement
of law in Mexico and on the guaran-
tees to personal property rights. The
Mexican commissioners presented a
clear picture Of the purposes of the
CarranZa government with reference
to the reform OF the civil and criminal
codes and the codes of procedure.
They explained the fact that under
the Diaz regime the judicial procedure
was 30 cumbersome and expensive and
the judiciary so corrupt that 1t was
impossible for a poor man to obtain
Justice"
The purpose of the CarranZa gov
ernment is to so simplify procedure
that the courts of justice will be open
to all and that the personnel OF the
judiciary will be so carefully selected
that corruption and bribery will be
completely eliminated. AS soon as the
plan for the revision of the corstitu-
ton has been carried out through n
constitutional con rention, q thorough
going reform OF the national codes
will be undertaken In order to make
these codes conform to the new
standards OF Justice and equity to be
Incorporated I'm the constitution.
The Mexican commissioners en-
phaszed the fact that the Carranza
government has no intention Of weak
ening the guarantees to civil rights
alth hough the present abnormal con-
dition of the country has made It
necessary to suspend the constitu-
tional guarantee in various sections Of
the republic. In short, the purpose
which the CarranZa government has
In mind Is to make not only the sys-
tenn Of law, but the administration OF
Justice conform to modern standards
and to incorporate the principle of
equality Of opportunity in every de-
partment Of national life"
