PUEBLA FACES ACUTE
CRISIS INDUSTRIALLY!
COMPETITION is KEEN
(By Associated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, Dec "a - Puebla.
the most important industrial state in
Mexico, is going through an acute in
dustrial crisis. The cotton mills
handicapped by the high cost of raw
materials, have been unable to with
stand the competition from foreign
manufacturers, whose goods are sold
here at a price cheaper than the cost
of production in Puebla. These lac
tories have been obliged to dismiss
two shifts of workers, throwing more
than $4,000 persons into unemploy
ment.
Union workmen and peasants held a
demonstration in Puebla yesterday. At
which they adopted resolutions outIln-
ing the critical conditions facing them
and asking the authorities to grant
them lands on which they can raise
food. They also planned to ask the
department of agriculture for imple-
ments with which to till the soil. Some
OF the demonstrators declared that il
the government did not heed their
demand they would seize lands.
Hold Conference
Executives of the Federation of in
dustrial chambers interviewed Presi-
dent Obregon yesterday concerning
the trouble at the Mayorango Hacien-
da in Puebla. where unemployed work
men from the Hacienda factory recent
ly created a disturbance, displaying a
red and black flag. The executives
told the president that the unemployed
were still on the Hacienda, which they
refused to evacuate, declaring they de
sired to cultivate the land President
Obregon said he would issue order
to the civil military authorities in
Puebla 10 bring the matter to a salts
factory settlement.
The department of interior has is
sued a statement declaring the May
orazgo incident of no importance

the conference on Thursday. in which
he made the proposal and outlined the

General opinion here undoubtedly

prospect of its being brought about:
but. on the other hand, there is some
: skepticism regarding the possibility
sof preventing the use of the sub
marine, even if the conference

Voicing this doubt. the Morning
Post declares the suggestion that the
powers represented at Washington
would break their pledge to abolish
naval undersea craft if they gave it,
but points out that there are other
@nations, not represented in the con-
ference; moreover. in the stress of
Substitutes all rules and restrictions
for the government and conduct of
war are overruled by the law of ne
eessity, and we may regret the refusal
of the present conference to agree to
abolition the less because no such
prohibition could be effected"
Urge Adequate Force
The newspaper argues that the de-
Svelopments at Washington point to
the necessity of Great Britain main
.taining an adequate force of cruisers
Sand small craft for the protection of
her commerce against submarines.
The Daily Mail declares that the
federation of submarine warfare will
compel powers dependent upon their
sea communications for sustenance to
own their merchantmen, with unhappy
and undesirable consequences.
The Times, which thinks Lord Lees
arguments are unanswerable from the
British point of view, depreciates at
aaching excessive Importance TO any
defeat OF The British proposal and
adds I'VE must face the facts as
they are"
The Westminster Gazette, is suspic-
Gus of France and says her. attitude
regarding the proportion in which sub
marines are to be retailed depends
largely upon her success or non-suc-
cess in asserting her claims on Ger
man reparations. "A high diplomatic
game is being played in criss-cross be-
tween London, Paris and Washing
ton" says the Gazette. The Amer
leans doubt tess are aware of this and
we may not in the end find ourselves
quite so isolated on this subject as it
appears at present"
Facts Support Plan.
The Daily Chronicle believes that If
Lord Lees argument that submarines
are valueless except for attacking mer-
chant ships could be established it
would convert many to the abolition
plan. Perhaps we have overstated
it," the newspaper adds, but 1t has
many facts in support"
The Daily News thinks it entirely
true that abolition of submarines
would be a greater contribution to the
cause of humanity than the limitation
of capital ships and contemptuously
refers to the world" refusal to de
prive itself of the blessed privilege OF
building submarines"

'DEPLORES TENDENCY
OF COLLEGE STARS
TO BECOME COACHES

BOSTON, Dec. 24.-The tendency Of
college football stars to become
coaches at big salaries after gradua-
ton was decried by President Reason
3. Ogilby, of Trinity college, New Eng
land representative in the National
Collegiate Athletic association.
Pointing out that intercollegiate
competition inspires intense play in
contrast with the lack of fire that
marks contests between professional
teams, he adds: 1T is small wonder
that it is the college stadium that is
always filled to capacity for a big
game.
THE difficulty comes when this in
tense interest in college athletics is
exploited by individuals and organiza-
tons for its money value. To my
mind, the chief problem in college
athletics today is not the endeavor on
the part of individual colleges to offer
financial aid or other inducements to
strengthen their teams. Colleges with
ideals do not do this and, so far, no
means have been successful in pre-
venting colleges with low ideals from
accomplishing it.
Pressure is Used.
"The greater problem is when pres
sure is brought to bear upon an ath-
lete who has made a reputation as a
college amateur to use his proves lat
er for financial gain. 1t is not a good
situation when a gridiron hero gets
a salary running into four or five fig
ures, as a coach for three or four
years after graduation. 1t is not a
good situation when man goes into
college athletics largely to build up a
reputation which he may use later on
professional teams. The fact that col
lege athletes very shortly after com
pleting their college season enter the
field of professional sport brings W
serious problems.
I'VE may say that the influence OF
! such college men as have gone into
professional baseball have been for
the best interests of that sport but
that may not apply to football"
