Present Situation


MEXICO CITY, Aug. "a (By Asso-
ciated Press) The struggle between
the Mexican government and the
Roman Catholic church in Mexico
is the most recent climax of a more
or less active controversy that has
been smouldering for 10 years.
Rarely before has it taken such a
dramatic turn as during the past
weeks since July 81. when the gov
ernments new religious regulations,
enforcing the both clause of the
Constitution of 1917, went into eff
feet
The church has battled with one
of its most powerful weapons, which
has been described as virtually
partial interdist" by the withdrawal
of all priests from participation in
their offices. The government has
answered by placing lay commit
tees in charge of the structures and
permitting uninterrupted entrance to
their congregations.
"Economic Boycott"

purchases and pleasure seeking ac-
tivities. The government has de-

lappreciable effect upon Mexico's
economic life Mexico City. appar-

ports from other districts indicate
that 1t has been effective, and busi-

situation anXiously

leaders, without qualification, that
1t will not countenance revolution,
but the government is holding sol
diers ready for any eventuality.
In general the country has appear
ed calm, although the closing of the
churches on the night of July 81.
when the priests left them, and the
subsequent inventories taken by the
civil authorities. have resulted In
some fighting and bloodshed.
The attitude of the government as
expressed by President Gales and
his supporters is that the church
and state must be separated and
