Washington, May 31.-Armed inter- 'cntlon in Mexico should the new orccs in control there show an ina 'ility or uswillingness to set up a table government more friendly to- ward Americans, was recommended O the senate today by the foreign re- ations sub committee Investigating Mexican affairs.
 Should a stable government be es- ablished, the committee recommended 'ull recognition be accorded it and hat financial assistance offered by he United States
 The committee said, however, that 'ull recognition should not be given lntil q treaty had been entered into )redicated upon assurances:
 That provisions of article 27 of
 the constitution of 1917 common
 ly regarded by foreigners as cons
 fscatory shall not be enforced
 against Americans:
 That the constitutional clause,
 
 citizens may be minister of any
 religious creed in Mexico and that
 no periodical of q religious char
 acter shall comment upon any po-
 litcal affairs of the nation, or
 publish any information regard
 ing the acts of the authorities or
 private individuals insofar as
 they have to do with public af-
 fairs, be inapplicable to Amer-
 cans; conduct schools or primar-
 ry instruction, shall not ebe ap-
 plicable in the case of Americans md,
 That the article under which
 undesirable foreigners may be
 expelled be so revised as to give
 Americans the right to confer
 ith the representative of their
 government.
 The recommendation proposed in the agreement for the immediate ap- oointment of claims commission to adjudicate the claims of Americans, Inc commission to be made up of men chosen by the two governments and with the understanding that it's find- ngs be binding and be immediately carried out by the payment of dam ages adjudged.
 Should the Mexican officials fail to agree to such a plan, or to estab- ish government capable of afford ng adequate protection to Americans, the committee suggested that i've send a police force consisting of the naval and military forces of our gov- ernment into the republic of Mexico to open and maintain open every line ,f communication between the city of Mexico and every seaport and very border port of Mexico"
 This force should be sent in, the said, after notice had been given the Mexican people that the United States was not warning on them and that it's sole purpose was to restore peoce, protect Americans and their possessions, and afford the Mex can people an opportunity to con- stitute "a Mexican government of se- rious, competent, honest and honor able men,"
 Should the Mexican authorities meet the proposals set forth, the commit zee recommends that the United States finance the Mexican government en- abling it to refund it's indebtedness and build up it's army and institut- tions. .
 Appeal to Wilson.
 The b-committee report prepared by the chairman. Senator Fall, repub- |ican, New Mexico, was concurred in by other committee members.
 It probably will be called up later. Any action by the senate in approving the committee's recommendation ft was said would be in the form of re- to the president.
 The report contains more than B. 225 900 words, and it's summary con- tains sharp arragRment of those who have directed Mexican affair1 since the overthrow of Porfiro Diaz. in 1911. For the Mexican people. how ever, it expresses sympathy, declaring that "the people of Mexico, that is. that great voice1ess submerged inar- ticulate mass, are inarticulate except when they reached civilization on this side of the line and seek work from despised Americans. that thev may live and hope to send back q few dollars with which to rescue their families from starvation. Their has grown worse from day to day, and for ten years the United States of America. the oreat Christian of the world. has stood by fiddling while Mexico burned"
 The committee urged that before any recommendation was accorded D< La Huerta. revolutionary leader, wht will become president ad interim to. morrow. he demonstrate that his ad' has the stability to en- lure and that it is disposed to comply with the rules Of international comity and the obligations of treaties. II every one exercising authority ii Mexico the warning should be sent the report says, that this government will hold them resDonsible for suffer ngs and losses of Americans.
