 He said that Congress- had been virtually in constant ses- sion for the past six years, and at no time had he been able to visit Arizona, until recently when he was sent to the border as member of the senate sub com mittee, to investigate the Mex ican situation.
 Regarding the work of the Committee Senator Smith said:
 ''The purpose of the Fall com mittee is to find out wherein lies the blame for unsettled condi tions which have prevailed along the border and which have work ed hardship on both sides of the international line. In gather ing evidence from which the United States Senate can base it's judgment as to who it at fault in the matter, we, of course, are not only ready but willing to hear in it's fitness the Mexican side of the case. Otherwise, our mission would not be adequately carried out.
 Senator Smith predicted wonderful future for Nogales, the coming metropolis of the young state of Arizona. He said Nogales was going to become city of 5O.OO0 within 8 few years -or soon after the differences between the United States and Mexico are properly adjusted.
