to establish a definite Mexican policy
for the future.
Henry p. Fletcher, ambassador to
Mexico, was to be the first witness.
preliminary investigation will be
held by the rules committee. 1t Is
expected the work will then be turned
over to a special committee, appointed
by the speaker.
Special points to be established by
the inquiry, which will take in condi-
tons as far back as 1910, are:
What policy the United States has
adopted in pressing claims for dam
ages brought by American citizens.
What assurances the government
has given foreign nations that their
claims and property will be protected.
What measures are now being taken
to protect American property and
lives and what assurance has Mexico
given that it will cooperate in such
protection.

emergency, such as quarantine, de-
