Warned 10 Put Stop 10 All Outrages
The United States warned Carranza that continued murders and outrages on Americans could force a radical shift in Mexico policy. The State Department published notes with Mexico City citing the murder of Peter Catron and other attacks, signaling a tougher stance without an official ultimatum. Congressional pressure and foreign-government concerns fed the sense of an approaching policy change, while military deployments near the border remained heavy. The Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee led by Senator Fall planned a broad Mexican situation inquiry, with cooperation pledged to the State Department. Major General Dickman now commands the southern department overseeing border operations, and U.S. naval forces in Mexican waters included the Cheyenne, Topeka, Cleveland, Chicago, and Denver, with destroyers Crane, Lee, and Williams newly assigned.

Real punch behind cost of living drive seen in seizures
Washington reports show Palmer seeking to prosecute price gougers while federal agents seize large quantities of foodstuffs under the food control act. In Chicago 1282 barrels of butter valued at $50,000 were seized, in St Louis 284,180 pounds of coffee were taken, and in Birmingham 100 barrels of sugar. Palmer testified many farmers and dealers are not profiteering but urged an amendment extending the act to clothing with penalties to deter gouging. The Senate committee noted mixed opinions on the approach.
