tion of the President. II also wa,
explained at the White House that
there has been no request received
there for the calling of a conference
to consider Mexican affairs.
In this connection IL was au.
thoritatively stated that neither
President Harding nor other member
or his administration has the slight
est opposition to a complete inquiry
by Congress, or either Of a.,
branches. into our relations with
Mexico.
At yesterdays Cabinet meeting re-

their products seem to be advancing.
