4vep YORK Tribune

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Evidence
of intention to go thoroughly into the
Mexican problem was disclosed to-day
in the House when Chairman Campbell
of the Rules Committee announced
that next Tuesday Henry P. Fletcher,
Ambassador to Mexico, would be called
before the committee as the first wit
ness in a series of hearings on the
Gould resolution providing for 5oint
select committee to investigate the
Mexican situation.
This resolution, which is considered
by far the most sweeping of any in
vestigation suggestion recently made
to Congress, would provide six points
of inquiry. All economic, political and
military relations between the United
States and Mexico since 1910 would be
reported on, together with conditions
and incidents leading up to, concerned
in, or responsible for those relations.
The treatment accorded Americans
and other foreign citizens of Mexico
since 1910 would be itemized, and a
statement made of the extent to which
the United States, through ministerial
assurances to foreign governments OF
otherwise, has obligated this country
with relation to public or private
claims against Mexico
In addition, information would be
furnished regarding the policy and &C.
tivty of the United States in pressing
American claims for loss of life anc
property by violence, and responsibility
for robbery, maltreatment and murder
of American citizens in Mexico or or
american territory adjoining Full
authority would be granted to summon
any member Of the Cabinet or of any
other government department..

Control of Wheat
CiIen to Barnes

WASHINGTON, July 16. BY a
proclamation issued tonight, President
Wilson puts entire control of the
wheat situation in the hands of Wheat
Director Jules H. Barnes. The Presi-
dent made it possible for Director
Barnes by license system to regulate
the export and import of wheat and
wheat -four, the domestic and foreign
distribution, the milling processes and
the baking of bread and other
products.
Mr. Barnes will also have authority
to decide whether there shall be ANY
change Of policy that will operate
for the reduction Of bread prices,
with tho government paying the losses
resulting from maintaining the guar.
anteed price to the producer.
The President by executive orde,
forbade the export or import of wheat
-four except undar limitations pre-
scribed by Director Barnes. He also
increased the guaranteed price Of the
1919 wheat crop to $3.50 a bushel at
Galveston and New Orleans, the
object being to divert part Of the
crops flow from Atlantic terminals
and relieve the strain bn traffic,

As Disturber
Direct Action Speech and
Allusions toU.S. .Deplored
as Breeding Bad Blood;
Prosecution Is Defeated

LONDON, July 1s (By The Associ-
ated Press).-Sir Edward Carson's
speech on Saturday has brought the
Ulster leader under the lash of the
newspapers of all parties, primarily on
account of his references to the United
States, which are criticised as tactless
and calculated to breed bad blood be-
tween the two nations, and, secondly,
because he reiterated his old threat
to call out the Ulster Volunteers to re-
sist any attempt to place the Home
Rule act in operation.
The Labor organs are not slow to
point out how such Indictment to "di-
rect action" could be improved upon in
the industrial field for securing politi-
cal ends. The Liberal pro-Irish papers
are equally quick to point out that in
point of tactics there is no difference
between "King de Valera" and "King
Carson"
The matter came up in the House of
Commons tonight, when the Speaker
gave John Robert Clynes, Laborite, per
mission to move adjournment of the
the government to set the law in mo-
tion against Sir Edward for a speech
melting to violence and endangering
the safety of the realm.
"Arch-Apostle of Direct Action
Mr. Clynes said there were many
poor, illiterate men now in prison for
saying less harmful things than ST,
Edward had said. 1t was the govern
ment's duty to see that the law was
equitably enforced. Mr.. Clynes de.
scribed Sir Edward as the "arch- apostle
of direct action"
Lord Hugh Cecil and other Unionist
members condemned Sir Edwards re
marks as indefensible.
The Attorney General, Sir Gordon
Hewart, declared that the allegation
that Sir Edwards speeches melted to &
breach of the law and violence had
broken down. There was nothing in
the speech in question upon which il
was possible to found legal proceed
ings. The passage referring to the
calling out Of volunteers was hypothe
tical and contingent on depriving VI
ster ueope of their rights as British
subjects. and this nobody proposed tt
do.

be regretted at time like this, ther'

previously had made appointments for

the President under the new White
House policy of devoting two hours of

President had determined to invite
members of both parties in Congress to
come to the White House and confer

During the day Secretary Tumulty
was given a list of fifteen members of

WASHINGTON, July 16.-~A strong
intimation that the Japanese govern
ment soon will make an official an
nouncement of it's intentions in Shan
tung was given to-day at the Japanese
Embassy here. 1t was said that the
criticism of the Senate of Japan's in
sistence on retaining the former Ger
man rights and privileges in Shantung
could easily be explained by an official
statement from the Japanese Premier
The embassy statement asserted that
Japan asks only for the control of Kiao-
chau, embracing an area of 200 square
miles, and that the whole of Shantung
Province, totalling some $4,000 square
miles Of territory, was not to be taken.
In addition to the Kiaochau District,
the joint control with China Of the
Tsingtao- Tsinan Railway is sought bv
Japan.
Must Have German Data
Officials Of the embassy pointed out
that the Japanese government was un-
able to give actual assurance when the
territory would be returned to China
for the reason that a mass of data, Of
fetal agreements dealing with the
lease of the territory from China by
Germany, and other information must
first be placed in the possession of
Japan by the German government be-
fore any actual transfer of the terri
tory is possible.
"Under the peace treaty." said one of
the embassy officials, Germany is re-
quired within three months to turn
over to Japan all official documents re-
lating to Kia-chau. After this neces-
sary procedure, the Japanese govern
ment can approximate the time when
the return to China of the territory
may be effected. Whether this will be
six months or year is merely a mat
ter of speculation.
Wants Only a Settlement
"My government, however, has SOL
emnly promised to return the district
to China, retaining the privilege only
of establishing settlement there, just
as other nations have esta blished set
Elements in Shanghai. 1t is regrettable
that Japan's good faith is questioned in

The position was taken at the en-
bassy that. the Shantung question did
not justify the discussion that has
prevailed in this country, the point be-
ing made that out Of the entire prov
ince, with its ,peSr<lation of 5o,ooo,ooo
people, only the Kiao-chau territory,
EN- mbracing only between 10000 and 5O,-
