JOINT COMMISSION
READY TO SETTLE
BORDER QUESTION
Lansing Announces Ameri-
can Memberships Are
Being Made to Begin
Meetings at Once

Washington, August 22.-Secretary
Lansing announced tonight that the
American members of the joint COM
mission to undertake settlement of diff
ferences between the United States and
Mexico would be Franklin X. Lane, Sec
rotary of the Interior; Judge George
Gray of Wilmington, Del, and DIR. John
R. Mott of New York city.
All the commissioners have accepted
their appointments, the Mexican mem
bers were named sometime ago and ar
made Immediately by Secretary Lansing
and Eliseo Arredondo, General Carran-
zas ambassador designate. Virtually
the only question to be decided is where
the sessions shall be held. The Mexi-
cans are understood to prefer some re-
sort on the New Jersey coast.
LANE HEADS GROUP
Secretary Lane, who will head the
American group, was the first member
selected. Associate Justice Brandeis was
President Wilson's second choice, but
after a conference with Chief Justice
White he decided his duties would not
permit him to serve. Judge Gray, a
retired federal circuit judge and a for
mer United States senator, has had
much experience on international bodies
and since 1900 has been a member OF
the international permanent court of ar
bitration under The Hague convention.
DR.. Mott is general secretary of the in
ternational committee of the Young
Mems Christian association and author
of numerous religious works. He was
offered the post of minister to China by
President Wilson, but declined it.
The Mexican commissioners are Luis
Cabrera. minister of finance; Ygnacio
Bonillas and Alberto PAM. Both the
latter are engineers and Bonillas is a
graduate of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
FIRST PROBLEM
Probably the first problem taken up
| by the joint committee will be the pro-
posed withdrawal of American troops
| from Mexico AS General Funston has
recommended the recall of General Per-
| shing's expedition, this is expected to
| be agreed to by the American members
General Carranza appointed his commits
sioners preferably to discuss this
question, the negotiation of protocol
/ covering the crossing of the international
border in pursuit Of bandits and investi
cation of the interests which might BIZ
behind the raids into American territory
I The United States refused to limit the
discussion to the subjects and undoubt-
eddy others will be gone into.
| 1t has been suggested that out of the
discussion of economic conditions in
Mexico might come assurances that
would make it possible for American
financial and commercial interests tc
offer aid in the rehabilitation of the
republic.
/ 1t Is regarded as probable here that
withdrawal of the Pershing expedition
would be followed soon by the recall OF
the National Guard from the border
Some high officers of the army believe
that with Pershng's men added to ths
border patrol and the additional mer
provided under the new army bill, Gen
eral Funston would have a sufficient
| force Of regulars to adequately protec,
the international line.
