doubt in the minds Of the committee
that the president preferred to
handle the situation alone.
1t is unlikely now that any further
action will be taken by either tho
senate or house unless the president
himself should make a request for
legislation to aid him in disposing of
the matter
Senator Lodge. the Republican
leader, made this statement: We of
fered to stand by the president in
any course the administration might
take in the Mexican situation. The
president has declined to accent our
offer. The entire matter now lies on
his doorstep, not on ours. We can
ana shall take no further action in
the matter. The situation is entirely
up to the president and our RESPONSE
biifty Is at an end.
Senator Fall said: Since the presi-
dent has said he prefers TO handle this
situation alone and has promised to
acquaint himself with the facts the
response lily. of course, rests with
him. ~tntime the committee will
continue it's very interesting and. we
hope very profitable Investigations.
REVERSAL OF PRACTICE
The president III his letter to Sen
ator FAN took the position that pass
age of the resolution would con
stitute reversal OF our constitu-
tional practice, which might lead 10
very grave confusion ia regard to the
guidance of our foreign affairs " He
said he would nc "eravelv concerned
to see such a resolution pass the con
gress"
The letter was not received by
Senator Fall until after the foreign
relations committee had adjourned It's
meeting which he'd been called by
Chairman Lodge especially To con-
slider the Fan resolution. IT was gen
orally believed that some message
from the president would be in the
hands of the committees before the
meeting and when none came. Scna-
tor Lodge adjourned the committee
with the statement that it would he
called again together If any word
from the president arrived
But when the White House mes
senger delivered The letter 10 Senator
FAN a short time later. It's meaning
was so unmistakabie that both Sena-
tor Fail and Senator Lodge agreed
that Ii would be useless to ask the
committee TO proceed any further
with thc resolution Senator Lodge
thercunon notified the members Of
the committee there would not he any
meeting to consider the resolution.
Following the delivery OF the letter
from the president, Senator Fall made
public the text of the memorandum
which he gave to the president after
the meeting last Friday at the White
House of Senators Fall and Hitchcock
with the president, In this memoran~
dunn. Senator Fall laid bare the de-
tails of the CONSPIRACY between officials
