Support Pres. Gales
Continued from Page One)

ceived assurances of support for It's
! religious policy from two of the most
! important figures in the Mexican
| political world-former President
! Obregon and General Arnulfo Gomez
military chief of the state of Vera
| Cruz. General Obregon is still look
ed upon as the idol of the army
while General Gomez is a possible
| president candidate.
! As on the preceding days, the
, Mexican Catholics. despite then
feelings, went about their usua
| tasks today, and on the surface there
was nothing to indicate the serious
ness of the religious controversy.
Newspaper specials and govern
ment reports describe disturbances in
/ some sections but from this infor-
nation it appears nothing serious has
| developed.
Queretaro reports that II persons
lit is not specified whether they
were priests-have been arrested
| charged with removing treasures and
valuable objects from Catholic
| churches. The Mexico City authori-
| ties are investigating reports of mu-
nicipal committees appointed to take
over the churches that yaluables are
missing from many of the edifices, in
Guiding the cathedral.
While the cathedral continues clos
ed pending a further check of the in
ventory of It's treasures. the other
churches were open again today, al
though only a moderate number or
worshippers were seen inside in Mex
leo City.
Thus far there is little or no evil
dence of the boycott under the aus
pices of the League for the Defense
of Religious Freedom in Mexico City,
although some commercial houses
and retailers express apprehension 1t
NAV develop In contrast. news from
other sections Of the republic shows
that the boycott is In full swing in
numerous towns. the people refrain
ing from all indispensable expendi-
lures in the hope of creating an
economic crisis sufficiently serious to
have the government modify its at
titude.
Propa ganda conditions are being
waged vigorously everywhere. There
have been numerous joint debates,
with speakers representing both sides
of the controversy, but thus far all
have been peaceful
The first debate in Mexico was be-
tween the secretary Of education, DR..
Jose Puig Casuaranc and Rene Cap
istran Cara. one of the directors of
the league for the defense -of'religious
liberty, who Is under bail ! Awaiting
formal trial on a charge, Of melting
the people to disturbances by means
of the boycott. saA
This debate conducted in a
Mexico City theatre and was largely
attended by an orderly crowd. G Each
side cheered as points were scored.
| The board general arguments put
forward by the secretary Of educa :
ton were that the government was

which It must do or ceaseFto be a
