RUTHLESS HAND
 NOT IN EVIDENCE
 IN MEXICO NOW
.Obregon Solving Country Problems Without Resort
 ing to Stern Measures.

MEXICO CITY, March 30-Mex ico's domestic problems are being reduced to a minimum, President Obregon declared in an audience with foreign newspaper men here recently.
 The President appeared in good health and he cantradicted rumOrs that he was severely ill. He pointed to stablization of the national bud get, establishment of the go,d stand ard as a monetary basis, the invita- tion of the nations creditors to get together with the Government fer final adjustment and the rehab- ilitation of the railroads as evidence that the regime was injecting busi- ness methods into it's administra- tion.
 Mexico is not able to make pay ments on the national debt at pres ent, he stated. He did not favor a foreign loan if some arrangement could be made with the country s creditors.
 No Ruthless Hand.
 Mexicans or others who expected President Obregon to use a ruthless hand in ruling the nation have been disappointed in that respect in his record for the first three months oi his Administration. lie has met several uprisings in different parts of the republic with energetic mili- tary measures, but the shooting at sunrise which had been predicted have not been recorded.
 Nevertheless, at the end of three months, he is not menaced with any apparent revolutionary element which seriously threatens his con 'trol. Disturbing factors in several of the Mexican states have been pacified and even Frisco Villa, from his ranch at Canutillo, is sending postcards to Government officials which are described as being in tensely humorous and indicating loyalty to the present regime

 Obregon's agrarian law has been so bitterly opposed by the Catholic Church, the dominant religious sect in the Republic, that the Archbishop of Mexico has called upon his par ishoners to resist it to the utmost.

Hirshfe attacks
Meyer Investigators
Declares Committee Is Using
Its Po,cers to Defeat Hylan
and Scores Press SUPPORT

David Hirshfeld, Commissioner OF
Accounts, gave out last night o. state
ment in which he said the Meyer COM
mittee, instead Of trying to discover
facts which could be utilized in amend
ing the city charter. was using it's pow
ers simply to further the candidacy of
Borough President Henry H. Curran for
the Mayoralty, and that the committee
had the support Of "a kept press.'
"The motto under which the Meyer
committee began its charter revision de-
iiberations," said Commissioner Hirsh-
field, was BY hook or crook get Mayor
Hylan.' This program has been fol-
lowed with the enthusiastic aid of
those newspapers in New York City
which backed Mayor Mitchell four years
ago in a campaign which resulted in a
score of indictments for misuse of cam
paign funds.
"And this publicity coterie has been
aided and abetted by the unscrupulous
battery of counsel retained by Chair
man Schuyler NJ Meyer, apparently for
the sole purpose of trying the Repub-
iican party's case against Mayor Hylan
IN the headlines of kept press, pledged
to do the bidding of the public utility
interests.
IF there are changes in the charter
of the City of New York or the statutes
governing the administration of the
business of this city which will result
in economy Of administration, fair deal
ing to the public and simplicity of rou-
tine, both the public and the Hylan ad-
ministration will pledge support to the
Meyer committee efforts.

schools. There are, in addition, up
ward of 175,o0o children on various
forms Of make-shift double-session pro-
grams, which the City Superintendent
has characterized as unsatisfactory.
and which are, if anything, worse than
part time. There are also nearly 600.-
600 children in diversified classes
classes having forty or more pupils
more than half of whom arc in classes
of forty-five or more, and more than
10000 in classes of fifty or over.
ut does not require an unusual gift
of imagination nor even a modicum of
technical skill to realize what this ap-
palling congestion means to the educa-
tional welfare and the health and
safety Of the children. It makes indi-
vidual instruction wellnigh impossible
and increases almost to the breaking
point the nervous strain Of teaching,
which even under normal conditions Is
severe. Overcrowding Is one of the
greatest fire hazards, as our factory
laws ant our fire regulations governing
theaters and other places of public as
public school children in even the best
of structures would be bad enough, but
to crowd them with smiling composure
into buildings which are old and de-
crepit and against which our fire au-
taorities have lodged thousands of
complaints is indefensible, even though,
as apologists say, no lives have yet
been lost.
"There has been much effort to min.
imize this fire hazard, but the facts
New-York tribune., 1921-09-19

speak for themselves. Violations which
would cost $4,000,00o to remove, ac-
cording to the Department OF Educa-
ton itself, can hardly be called trivial
OF unimportant, particularly when they
include one hundred antiquated build
ings with wooden and unprotected
stairways, nearly two hundred with fire
signals out of order or not up to the
standards of the Fire Department, and
scores with inadequately protected
boiler and furnace rooms or with OBJ
structed Railways or improper exits.
After repeatedly calling attention to
these conditions and expressing in un-
mistakable terms his fear of catas-
trophe, the, superintendent of school
buildings has obtained at the end of
four years scarcely one-sixteenth of
what he says he needs, and, because of
pressure in other directions, has been
able to expend about $4,000, or less
than half of ] per cent of what is
necessary to remove the violations cited
by the Fire Department
"In spite of this overwhelming rec
ord of neglect and such other notorious q
instances as the decentralization caused
by the nutilation of the school budget
for the current year, we are brazenly
told that the schools are not in bad
way, that we have had during the last
four years the best administration of
the school system in the history of New
York! What an insult to the intelli-
gence of the community! We are told.
also, that those who point out these
glaring proofs of official mismanaee-
ment and inefficiency are partisan or
controlled by the interests We are
partisan--in the Mayors phraseology,
we are for the children and against
those who neglect them. We are con-
trolled by the interests-the interests
of the pupils and teachers in the pub
lie schools. The question for YOU to
answer, Mr.. Common People is: How
much longer will you permit your chill
dren's educational birthright to be sold
for mess of political pottage?" ?"

Chamberlain's budget request has not
yet been received by the Board Of
Estimate. All the other departments
under the Mayor have, however. filsd
their estimatcs, and as the Chamber
iain's office is small one the cx-
clusion of his budget figures will not
affect the case materially.
The total amount requested by the
Mayors department (except the Cham
neriain's office) for appropriation In
the 1922 tax budget, as shown by the
records on tile September 1e. 1921 WITH
the Board of Estimate is sizes. .c1e.-
zs26 6s, an increase of $36 1000, 600 ever
the corresponding 1921 appropriations.
IN the first and largest group Of
departments shown in the chart the in
crease is about s5.000,0o0. The figures
for the second group are about the
same for 1922 as for 1921. In the
third group the requested increase is
about sl.5o0,0e0, and for the Board Of
Education the proposed increase is
about S2s,5o0,ooo.
Looks to State for School Aid
Most of the increase attributable
TO the Board of Education is due to
the fact that the 1921 budget appro-
priation for the Board of Education
was s27 100000 less than the board's
made up in the past by the receipt of
state school moneys, but about $780,
100000 was left to be covered by trans
Ter or the issue of special revenue
bonds redeemable in 1922 Similarly,
in 1922, If the state aid is continued
on its present basis, the city will re-
ceive further contribution, reducing to
S71 .792, 1884 the amount to be raised
by the city for its schools.
But unless the present intolerable
system of postponing until the sue
cecdlng year the payment of the cur
rent running expenses of the Board Of
Education is followed in 1922, the city
must provide in it's 1922 budget not
less than $21, 100000 more for school
purposes than it included in its 1921
budget.
This means that the most drastic
economy must be enforced in all
branches of the city government il the
schools are not to be deprived, as thay
have been in the past, of the funds
they require. The increases already
requested by the Mayors department
practice that economy. The appear
ances are that the city will exact from
it's taxpayers the last cent allowed by
the state constitution. Without this
constitutional limitation there would
be- no protection against the demands
or an incompetent municipal govern
ment"

Some Tammany leaders have in

will support the Republican, Coalition
candidate for Mayor this fall declar-
ing that they are tired of Messrs. Hy-
Ian, Murphy and Hearst.
Hearts's domination of Murphy and
Hyian, and his open warfare on ex-
governor Alfred Q. Smith are the prin-
cipal reasons advanced by the Tam
many men for deserving Hylan.
Whlle Curran's record appeals to
these Tammany men, they are frank in
saying that their chief reason for lend
Ing him their support is to prevent
Hearst and Hylan from consunlmatinr
their plans of driving "Al" Smith from
politics. o-N

sentatives of Hearst that one of bis
chief ambitions is to DESTROY cap
smith politically. In this he has re-
ceelved considerable support from Hy
ian, and the turning down of Smiths
TREND. Judge Alfred j. Talley, by MUIR
ply, was said to have been at the die
tation of Hearst. But after the row
raised by Tammany leaders from one
end OF the city to another, Murphy
was forced to name Talley, which was
done after one of his handpicked candi-
dates gracefully retired.
With this Talley incident fresh in
their minds, friends of "Al'' Smith in
Iammany Hall are fearful that the nv
ferrous power which Hearst wields over
Murphy will force the Tammany boss
to direct attack on ZAP Smith.
