MEXICO CITY, November 21.-Al-
berto J. Pani, secretary of foreign
affairs, has made a statement reply
ing to the declarations of the Ameri-
can State Department concerning
charges in the Mexican chamber of
deputies of interference by the Unit
ed States in Mexican legislative af-
fairs. He says that the declarations
of the United States have been re-

animated with the same sentiments

IN view of the United States State
Department declarations" Secretary
Pants statement reads, 1.-The Mexican
foreign office makes the following
declarations:
ut is fact that the foreign Office
and Mr.. Summerlin (American charge
d'affaires) have had to discuss YER

the two countries. and it is neces-

the American State Department or
on which it did not solicit the State
Departments comment
Why President obregon Acted.
"Jf President Obregon saw the
necessity of informing the chamber of
deputies of the case in question it was
because he believed Mr.. Summerlin's
notes exercised restraint on the legis-
lative faculties of Mexico and to
silence the matter would have been to
show lack of cooperation with the
federal power involved and would have
lent itself further to the belief that 1t
was creating a precedent contrary to.
the nations sovereignty, a precedent
which might easily be invoked against
Mexico by any foreign government in
the future.
Fortunately. the American State

no intention in the case mentioned of

The American Legion auxiliary,

is trying to have people in the mems

There are not more than five or six

Pope Gregory dreamed he saw the
Archangel about to sheath his sword,
