gress this week.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee will meet today TO give fur
ther consideration to a resolution re-
questing Pres't Wilson TO break off
diplomatic relations with Mexico and
TO withdraw recognition of the Car

Sen. Fall, republican, New Mexico,
author OF the resolution, talked over
the situation with the president Fri
day afternoon, and it had been ex-
pected that Mr.. Wilson would give
some expression OF opinion on the
proposal in advance of the meeting.
Sen. Fall said last night, however.
that the president had not definitely
promised and response, either before
tOday's committee meeting or later.
Much Work.
Aside from Mexico, there is work
enough to keep the senate and house
busy until the holidays, with little

meanwhile. Indeed, with the presi-
dent and republican leaders appar-
emily deadlocked over responsibility
for the next move, no action on the
treaty before next month has been
expected.
Senate leaders still hope TO get a

Fight over the bills anti-strike pro-

roads would be turned back the first
Of the year, but many senator's be-
lieve now that he will wait until the
