Senator Fall also gavo the 'president a copy of his r'iso'utlon asking that diplo- malic recognition of Carranza be withdrawn. with-drawn. Thia resolution is now before the foiTtgn relations committee, which meets again Monday to act upon it. It was said the president expressed no final judgment judg-ment regarding it, but Indicated he would give his advice to the committee or to congress by the end of the week. Senator Hitchcock, who told the same story of the conference, said the president presi-dent had seemed in a very cheerful 'mood and entirely on the mend. His color was good, he said, and his facial appearance better. Although he had not seen Secretary- Lansing since he became ill, the senator said, Mr. Wilson had seen other members of his cabinet and was doing an increasing amount of work dally. After the conference. Dr. Grayson ea!d the visit apparently had done the president presi-dent good, and that he seemed to have enjoyed it. The physician added that he . had "arranged for his patient to remain in bed for" the conference because ho had been up for some time during the morning morn-ing and it was desired to guard against tiring him too much. The news of the release of Jenkins was given varying interpretations in official and congressional circles. Htate department depart-ment officials had no comment to make upon up-on It, in the absence of more detailed information, infor-mation, but Senator Hitchcock and other Democrats in Congress declared it seemed to relieve the strain that had been placed upon relations with Mexico and to bear out their position that the senate and house should keep hands off until the state department had had an opportunity to determine whether Carranza would heed its warnings in regard to American citizens and their rights. Excuse for Carranza. A break In diplomatic relations, S'ena-tor S'ena-tor Hitchcock argued, might give Carranza Car-ranza an excuse for setting o side the coming presidential elections and resuming resum-ing a dictatorship. Senator Fail and ether Republicans said they hoped the outcome of the Jenkins incident meant that Carranza had determined deter-mined to adopt a new policy toward American interests, but pointed out that other grievances still existed. Much significance sig-nificance Is attached by Senator Fall to j the evidence regarding alleged radical t propaganda by Mexicans in the United ! States, and he said he woukKlay before ! the president photostatic copies of letters ! by Mexican officials encouraging such a I campaign. One of these letters, he said, was signed by President Carranza. |
