At the same time Senior Moheno
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and 9TH
ar supporters Of the government were
in5ustriously circulating rumors that

said to friends who visited him after
the first session Of Congress had ad-

An additional lement Of danger
was given to the International stu

The grave question of raising money
and paCitcation are so closely linked
