Catholic ChurCh'S View of
Mexican Situation.

BH United Press
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 23.--The
struggle in Mexico between the gov
eminent and the Catholic church is
in reality a struggle between Com
munism and Christianity, according
to a statement issued today by the
episcopate in connection with the
encylical letter from the Vatican.
The letter was cabled to Mexico
City in resume form but was not
published.
In it's statement, the episcopate
attacks the Mexican constitution of
1917, declaring that it has lost the
liberal character of the constitution
of 1857.
The statement adds that the pres
ent Mexican problem is of interest
to both the United States and Eu-
rope because it treats of the Chris
tan foundation of civilization.

Leasing Idea Was Falls

Five months later Fall conceived
the idea Of leasing the Elk Hills re-
serve to a private oil company in re-
turn for oil and for construction of
storage tanks at Pearl Harbor,, Ha-
wall, for use of the Navy. Fall,
Roberts said, went to Doheny after
talking with the then Secretary of
the Navy DENLY and put the matter
up to Doheny.
1.-THE contract was entered and
the 100000 cash was paid by Do
heny to Fail through Doheny's son,
New York bank Roberts said. 1--WE
will show you in Doheny's own
words that he expected to make
500, 100000 out of the lease he OBJ
tanned from Fall"
Doheny signed a contract in April,
1922, to construct the Pearl Harbor
tanks, and was given preferential
rights in future Government leases,
Roberts declared.
Finally, Dec. II, 1922, Doheny was
given a lease on Naval Reserve No.
1, he added.
I'VE will show that the entire
transaction was conducted in utmost
secrecy" said the prosecutor. 1--WE
will show that Fall, in letter I'M
der his own signature, ordered that
If any people inquired about the
leases, officials in the Interior De.
partment were to say they knew
nothing about it,"
The jury awoke this morning I'M
der the guard of marshals appoint

Justice Adolph A. Hoehling granted
a motion Of the prosecution that
the jury "be not separated" during
the course Of the trial. a step known
in court language as locking up the
jury" in order to protect all from
suspicion.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 3.-The gov
eminent last night issued an official
paper explaining its agricultural
policy. It admits that agriculture
could be fostered and production in
creased by a large increase in arabic
areas, but contends that at the ruling
level of wheat prices no such increase
is possible without protective duties
or a subsidy.
The government rejects protective
duties on imported grain as contrary
to its election pledges, and opposes sub
sides for any system Of control. The
government proposals are as follows
First-The preparation of a scheme
on q sound commercial basis for short
term credits and credits for improve.
ments and for land purchase.
Second-The development of small
+ holdings.
Third-The continuance of the pres.
ent afforestation program.
Fourth-Appropriat of FL 200, 600

HOOVER SEEKS ROOM
IN PENSION BUILDING
Would Move All Department
Branches Outside Main Office
Into Structure.

Secretary Hoover would like 10
move all the agencies of the Depart
ment of Commerce now in rented or
owned quarters outside the main
building into the Pension Office Build
ing.
The Commerce Department head
said today he would like to see the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. the Blu
reau Of Lighthouses and the Bureau
of Navigation housed in the Pension
building, at Fifth and CT streets. He
added that possibly the Bureau OF
Fisheries could also be accommodated
| in the commodiouS structure. The
| main building of the department, at
Nineteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, is a rented structure, and Mr..
| Hoover indicated that in case the de-
| partment were granted partial use of
the Pension Building, there would be
no change in the present headquar-
tiers.
The entire move involving the La
, Dor, Commerce and Interior Depart
ments, in which the former two
would move certain OF their agencies
| into the Pension Building, while the
| Pension Bureau would be transferred
to the Interior Building, where
space is now available for 1t, is
in the hands of the Public Build
| ing Commission for action. Sen
ator Smoot, it's chairman, announced
several weeks ago that the Pen
| sion Bureau transfer had been ap-
| proved. At the same time it was
| learned the Labor Department does
not want the Pension Building be-
/ cause of the size Of some of the
rooms, whose reconstruction would
involve q considerable outlay In re-
arranging them.
With these two propositions be.
fore it, the commission invited Sec
retaries Work of Interior. Hoover Of
Commerce and Davis Of Labor to a
conference to go over the situation.
| This conference has not been held,
and the transfer is still in the air.
During the discussion of the transfer
the District National Guard, which
will be forced shortly to vacate its
armory, at 472 L street, declared 1t
would like the Pension Building for
of the Treasury put in q bid for office
space in the same structure.
