Washington, Dec. 3.—President Wil- ®on was requested in a resolution in- troduced today in the senate to sever dipiomatic relations with Mexico The resolution was offered by Sen- alor Fall republican, of New Mexico, who as chairman of a sub-committee investigating the Mexican situation de- tlared evidence had been found which “would astound the world." It also asked that the president withdraw rec- ognition of the Carranza government. Sengtor Fall boldly charged that the Mexican embassy. the consulate gener- ais in New York and San Francisco and the consulates along the bord with the knowledge and consent ol President Carranza, had been sotively enguged in the spreading of Bolshev propaganda in the United Stoies. @ence, it was said, would be U hcom- ing to bear out the charge. this resolution. which was sent 10 the foreign relations committee of the senate for consideration tomorrow, the whele Mexican problem, admittedly grave in view of the vefusal of the Carranza administration to releace Consular Agent Jenkins from the peni- tentiury at Puebla. will be put before congress.

Tivery where the impression prevailed that Senator Fall's committee and offi- cials of the state department were in close and thorough accord. Before the resolution was introduced Senator Fall conferred at Jength with Henry P. Fletcher, American ambassador to Mexico, who for some months has been Bandling Mexican affairs at the state t. The department's ar- ch! have been opened to the foreign relations committee without reserva- tion, and members of the committee said there ‘existed a comvlete under- standing with the department. How the senate migit act on_the proposal for an onen break with Mex- 4co was not altogether clear tonight, But it was said that republicans would vote almos: solidly for it. and that they would have some democratic support- ers. Senator Shields, democrat, of Ten- nessee, a_member of the foreign rela- tions committee, speaking: from the floor when the resolution was offered. declared “the United States hus had gecasion todeclare war against Mexico for the last five years." ‘When word reached the house that tliere might soon be an onen rupture with Mexico, membegs said it had lonz been expected, and ‘there were reports that republicans in the house would vole for the resolution when it goes there for action. After a conference late today with Secretary Lansing, Senator Hitchcock, agting democratic Teader, said he ‘did not know what the atiitude of the demeocrats would be, although he in- djeated that the resolution in its pres- ent form might be opposed because there appeared to be no precedent for withdrawing recognition’ under similar cireumstance: TWhen the resolution was Ambassador Fletcher sat wife in the diplomatic gallery, other- wise unoccupled.

All of ‘he information the gowern- sent now has on Mexico will be at the disposal of the foreiga velations com- mitiee tomorrow, it was. sald. About the time despatches from the Border were received here with re- ports that Villa had been captured the Mexican embassy sent word that it whs giving out a statement, and there was a rush to get it.

The per sonal part Carranza is alleged to have aken in the dessemination of bolshe- vist propaganda and the active part radicalism has had in his own gov- ernment are viewed with grave con- cern here and back of all is the great mass of information cchcerning the murder of scores of Americans and other outrages ip rqprent years. | 'There was much discussion among senators and representatives as to what would happen in event the Fall resolution was passed and ignored by the president. While declining to ex- press their views on the subject, some members intintuted that it may be force even more drastic steps by con- gress.
