On her return Thursday her hus-

Dear Daddy: BY the time this

been to the mission fields. and I feel

CHURCH IN MEXICO HAS
ALWAYS BEEN AN AGENT
OF WORST REACTION

While the surface indications Of
the present controversy in Mexico
between the church and the state ap-
pear to be Of a strictly religious ma
ture, the fact Is that, at bottom, it Is
a political struggle between two op-
posed economic groups. The church,
for centuries itself an oppressive
IandhoIder, has always defended the
interests of the exploiting land own
ers. Latterly, It has used its pollt-
ical power In the interests of lntrigu.
ing foreign groups who sought a grip
on Mexico's valuable natural re-
sources.
Following the defeat Of the reae.
tionary Huerta, who was supported
by the church, the constitution of
1917 was enacted which declared
that the educational institutions of
Mexico shall be under the control of
the state and not the church and
that only native Mexlcans can ad-
minister the duties of the clergy.
But these regulations were not en-,
forced until this year when the
church itself precipitated the strug-
gle by numerous attacks upon the
constitution. Thus followed the de-
crees of the government enforcing
the constitutional provisions. The
church then declared the economic
boycott which Is In the nature of
reactionary political strike against
the Mexican government.
The forces opposed to the church
are the rising young Mexican indus
trialists who are fighting foreign i'm
peraIism and the labor movement
which has countered the catholic
move by declaring a political strike
of It's own on Sunday.
