conflscate AII church Propertx.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 11.-Attorney
General Ortega announced today that
the government is considering the ma
tionalization of hundreds of rich
properties in Mexico which are in the
possession of the catholic lay clergy.
The titles for the majority of these
properties, rest with laymen, but the
attorney general maintains that they
are in actually the property of the
catholic church and that the title has
been transferred to the lay clergy to
avoid the constitutional prohibition
against church properties.
Several of the largest estates in
Mexico may be seized unless the lay
owners can definitely prove that they
are the actual owners and are not
merely holding the properties for the
benefit OF the church.

said Harris Of the South Wales
Miners to The Federated Press. "Our
people have shown heroism thus far

have food if they are to live. If we do
not get money to buy food, the mine
owners may be able soon or late to
crush the strike.
America Must Help.
I'VE are sure that American help.
given now, will enable us to hold on
until we win. Already the cost of
maintenance of the idle mines is a
worry to the bankers, who have been
advancing money to the mine owners.
This cost of maintenance is mounting
up, and the owners cannot stand 1t
forever. We will fight as long as we
can get food from anywhere"

tinue. The Communist nodded and
went on with his speech.
Battle Rages-Doriot Sticks.
The government supporters became
angry and one of the right bloc mem
bers, Potion Duplessis, led a rush
to the tribune and attempted 20 drag
DoriOt from his place as speaker.
Doriot, however, who is six feet tall,
broad4shouldered and no pacifist,
merely changed his form of argument
from verbal to physical and refused
to bulge.
In addition, the whole Communist
delegation piled into the melee to bat
tie OFF the attack on their comrade.
The attendants, who are supposed to
assure decorum of procedure mixed
In to stop the fight, while fists flew,
blows fell, collars were torn and
shouts filled the ancient assembly
hall-and the Communist Doriot held
his place in the tribune.
Bourgeois Dignity Outraged.
The sgonized president could
scarcely make himself heard, but
finally shouted to attendants TO clear
the galleries so that the public could
witness no more Of this solemn as
sembly's lack OF dignity. Then when
the scene had quieted down with Dor
lot still in his place, De Selves was
so Infatuated at the Communists that
he ordered the soldiers Of the palace
guard to remove Doriot from the tri.
bune and from the hall.
No less than a French general, Pei
tier. marched in at the head Of a
squad. mounted the tribune from
which Doriot was continuing his
speech and asked the Communist to
follow him. Doriot, having had his
say, yielded and surrounded by guards
followed the general out of the hall
while the Communist deputies sang
the Carmagnole fighting song of the
French reyolutionists, and the right
bloc warbied the Marsellalse.
The reactionary majority then vot-
ed a closure on debate and gave the
government program a final majority.
SO closed the solemn national assem-.
bly, OF France. the first one in AZ

i Is SlgulnCauC LnaL none Oh the
4 great capitalist dailies has so far
attempted to editorialize on their
wild debauch regarding conditions
within the Union of Soviet Repub-
lies. Unlike the news scribblers, the
editorial writer's must have lost
their ability to pick new onslaught
against Workers Rule out Of thin
air.
The closest approach to an edi-
torial expression by the American
kept press comes from Arthur Bris-
bane, in his column in the Hearst
papers. Brisbane offers nothing new.
He merely repeats what he has so
often and very ignorantly declared,
that Soviet Rule must disintegrate
as the result Of discussions among
it's leaders, after the fashion Of the
French Revolution. He says:
Trouble will come, presumably
as it always does, from quarrels
among leaders. In the French Re-
volution, Robespierre cut off Dan
toms head, after he had presided as
High Priest at the Festival of the
Supreme Being Then the conven-
ton declared Robespierre an outlaw,
and, with his law broken, Robes
pierre was dragged to the guillotine
and his head chopped off.
"Marat had his day of power, but
Charlotte Corday murdered him, the
French got tired of revolution, and
Napoleon took charge Of them, drag
ged them all over Europe and gave
them something to make them really
tired.
Something like that will probably
come in Russia for history really
does repeat itself"
Several millions of newspaper
readers absorb this stuff as real in
tellectual food. Even large numbers
Of so-called radicals" grab at Bris-
bane's column and think 1t is the
real stuff. This includes many work
ers.
1t may be taken for granted that
Brisbane has never studied the
workings of the French, or of any
other revolution, not even the Amer
lean revolution that cut the colonies
off from Great Britain. 1t is there
fore ineoneeivable that he should
possess the least ability to pass on
developments in the Soviet Union.
Walter Duranty, the Moscow cor
respondent of the New York Times,
who has been close to developments
in the Soviet Union for several
years, tries to offer his own explana-
ton for the barrage of falsehoods
laid down by his own capitalist press
against the Workers and Peasants
government. At the same time he
offers some answer to the declara-
lions of his fellow journalist, Bris-
bane, as follows:
1.-THE recent controversy within
the Communist Party has given rise
to a crop of rumors outside Russia
regarding summary action against
members of the opposition Trotsky
is reported in fight and his relatives
arrested. Zinoyiev is said to have
been exiled to Siberia, Lashevich
imprisoned and Kronstadt to be in
revolt.
"The chief basis Of these reports,
all of which are denied, is credited
here to the insistent demand of
human nature to find parallels in the
past for present eYents-that is,
comparison of the Russian with the
French Revolution. NOTHING
COULD BE MORE FALLACIoUS,
1T is DECLARED. Emphasis ours.)
Whereas during the French Re.
volution the power was constantly
disputed between different groups

The Evening Standard says frankly:
"Clemenceau's letter to President
Coolidge is moving and eloquent and
contains good deal of sense as we'll.
But it does no more than express the
attitude of all the European belliger-
ents toward the question of the war
debts. The same appeal has, in eff
feet, been made before to America
without at all modifying her attitude.
All-around Cancellation.
"Our own position always has been
clear We have consistently favored
all-around cancellation, by which we
should have been heavy losers. But
we should lose more heavily than we
could bear if we were to adopt the
policy of paying our creditor and for
giving all our debtors.

BORAH TALKS
BACK AT Debt
CANCELLATION
British Applaud But Ger

Especial to The Daily worksr)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Georges
Clemenceau's letter to President Coo
lidge on the French debt has sharp
ened the irreconcilables' axe for the
battle in the senate this winter to re-
ject the Mellon-Berenger agreement.
This became increasingly manifest
today following reply to Clemenceau
by Senator Borah. of Idaho, chairman
of the foreign relations committee.
Borah who is spending some time at
his home in Boise before a speaking
tour to several cities. is an opponent
of the debt settlement.
"caneellatlonists" says 5erah.
1.-THE cancellationists make a sorry
mistake in basing their contention
with attacks upon the course and con-
duct of the United States" said Borah.
'Clemenceau's letter is replete with
ugly insinuations and false charges. -
The Versailles treaty, he added,
was based upon vengeance and distri-
button of territory. Clemenceau was
largely instrumental in drafting that
treaty.
Tells Them What TO DO.
If European nations would urge
cancellation, '1et them include all
debts and PREPARATIONS, and present al
the same time a program Of disarma
ment," said Borah.
81 feel that every dollar we con-
tribute in the way of settlement is
simply feeding the imperialistic
schemes Of certain powers and lend
ing our aid to such wars as are now
being carried on in Syria" Borah con
cluded.

"The failure of the disarmament
plans shows the United States France
has no intention to disarm, and II is
therefore clear why the Americans are
