NEXT PRESIDENT
OF MEXICO SETS
NATION TALKING
Oregon and Morones
Leading Prospects

MEXICO CITY, July S.-Who is to
be the next president of Mexico is the
question agitating Mexican politics.
An effort is being made to advance
the candidacy of Alvaro Obregon, ex-
president, but his opposers say that
this would be a violation of the con-
stitution of Queretaro and of the prin-
ciples of the revolutionists against
Diaz, whose slogan was mo re-elec-
ton"
Obregon himself claims this does
not apply to him, contending that the
constitution forbids only that presi-
dents should succeed themselves, but
not that when one or more terms
have passed that an ex-president
could not run again. The agrarian
party is said to be backing Obregon.
Gales attitude is unknown. He
says nothing that would give the i'm
preston Of favoring any one for his
successor.
A real dark horse in the race is
Luis Morones, who will be the candi.
date of the labor unions. He is a
strong candidate.
The Catholic party is also strong,
having heavy financial backing and
skilled leaders. But it is too quiet
so far.
Some army men are proposing Gen
eral Arnulfo Gomez, commander OF
federal troops at Vera Cruz. The con
gressional elections now on will show
the relation of forces. In the federal
district there are % parties. Some
other districts have as high as nine.

POPE ATTACKS

ROME, July 8.-Cardinal Gaspari,
in the name of Pope Plus XII has
addressed a better to all representa-.
tives of the holy see thruout the
world attacking the Mexican govern
ment in the most forceful language as
''hypocritical" and winding up by ask.
ing prayers that God might forgive 1t.
The letter asserts the Mexican gov
eminent is expelling catholics in the
''most inhuman manner, as If they
were the most vulgar criminals, while
other religions are given ample IL
berty."
"The pope recalls his horror, ex-
pressed in the consistorial allocution
Dec. IA, 1925, and his request for
prayers for Mexico. Now again he
asks such prayers and fixes August 1.
The pope hopes that by such a univer-
sal prayer God will deliver the Next
can catholics from persecution and
that their prosecutors will be par
doned."

Despite semi-official promises, de-

Soviet and Oriental
Trade Hope of Italy
to Break Rivals Grip

ROME, July S.-From an article in
IN Messaggero" it is understood that
Italy hopes by trading with Soviet
Russia and the orient, to "break the
Anglo-Saxon grip on raw materials"
BY finding a means for exchanging
our manufactured products for the
orient's raw material, Italians could
escape the hold which has wounded
them and in so doing realize one of
the greatest aims in our national eco
nomic program"
The article is believed to have
meant that Italy hopes for increased
trade with Soviet Russia and with
Persia. Persia, is is said by the
Persian minister, provides an opening
for Italian emigration.

FRENCH LABOR
MENACED WITH
new ASSAULTS
Higher Costs and Longer
Day Loom

PARIS, July S.-Things more signif
icant for French workers than whether
or not the BRAND cabinet may fall
today by failure to get vote OF
confidence without reservations and a
grant of plenary powers until Decem.
Der 81, appear behind the scene in
parliament when Joseph Caillaux, f.
nance minister and practical dicta'
tor, goes before the chamber of depu.
ties today to make these requests.
Chief opposition is encountered on
the proposal to ratify the Berenger-
Mellon debt agreement with the
United States, but Caillaux is craftily
planning on merely recommending it
be ratified some time in the future. -
By this he hopes to get the granting
of 'plenary powers" of dictator not
only during the chambers Teconven-
ing in October, but for three years
thereafter
An Attack on Working Class.
Behind this wrangle in parliament,
however, lies something more immedi.
ately significant for the workers.
Caillaux will make his bid for "plen.
airy powers" on the basis of adoption
of the French experts report. This
report has the following important
recommendations
l. New taxes to be laid on the ne
cessities of life to raise four billion
francs year. This will increase the
already high cost of living.
2. To encourage capital' by reduc-
ing the income tax and raising the
exemption from 1000 to 10000 francs
3. Doubling customs duties and in.
creasing railway fares.
4. Ratifying the agreement on the
debt owed to the United States in or.
der to get a s2OO,OO0,00O loan from
American bankers.
5. Speeding up production and a
more liberal Interpretation of the
S-hour law.
In addition the French experts of.
ficially declare that the franc can
never get back to it's pre-war value.
In this, the first official admission OF
the fact, the experts report says:
Ruin for Holders Of Paper.
"The complete revalorization of the
franc is today a dream, for it presup.
poses a continued and systematic de
flation ruinous for the taxpayers, who
would be crushed by debt represent
ing nominally the totality of the pub.
lie fortune of France, and ruinous fo1
industry, commerce and agriculture
which could support neither an indeh-
mite reduction of prices nor the con.
sequences of engagements made since
depreciation has begun"
Therefore, the experts recommend
that paper francs be permanently ex,
changed at a discount to gold francs

re-electing most of its former officers
today the convention of the American
Federation of Textile Operatives lis
tened to an appeal for Sacco and Van
zetti by Robert zelms, district organ
izer of International Labor Defense.
Zelms spoke of the campaign being
conducted by l. L. D. for the two Ital-

ton demanding a new trial for the
innocent radicals. The resolution was
adopted and a rising vote of thanks
was given to Zelms by the convention.

PEKING, July 8. - Representations
from the American government are

"outrages' alleged to have been com
mitted against Americans engaged in
missionary and education work in
South China.
Frenzied Missionaries.
Secretary of State Kellogg has sent
F. L. Mayer, counselor of the Amer

suit with consular authorities there.
Tales of acts against American mis-

cedented display of violence and
hatred on the part of the natives"
Anti-Foreign Meeting.
Aroused by an anti-foreign street
meeting, the crowd stood outside the
mission, shouting so loud as to pre-

dustry is considerably greater than
that in light industry.
Foreign.
In foreign trade, too, considerable
increase is to be seen. After several
months of an adverse trade balance,
in March exports again exceed i'm
ports. All the greater Importance
must be attributed to this fact since
the success has been attained not by
limiting imports, but by increasing
exports (by almost 25,OO0,OOO roubles
as compared with March, 1925.
The development of production in
the last few months justif1es us in
expecting that the annual increase of
40 per cent planned will be realized
to the full extent Altho, of course,
the demand for goods will even then
not be completely met, a decided re.
lief is already felt in some fields,
which, during the last few months,
had been involved in the difficulties
OF growth, as for instance the pro-
vision of fuel for the steadily growing
industry.
Trades Unions Grow.
The number of trade union mem
bers (9O-91 per cent of the whole pro-
letariat) amounted at the end of 1925
to 100000 workers. In the first half
Of 1925 the number of trade union
members amounted to about $500, 900.
This means an increase of organized
workers in two years by more than
100000, i. e., by about 80 per cent.
We will not overburden these few
'emarks by detailed figures. We get,
however, an imposing picture if we
consider the number of workers who,
in the last five months of 1925, have.
as is proved by national employment
statistics, been newly employed in in

Social Insurance.
From the most recent statistics of
the national social insurance which
are available, we see that the number
of workers and employees who are So

Nov. LIST, 1925, by about 100000 and
reached on Nov. LIST 7,S76,000. This
number has, of course, been far ex.
ceeded since then.

wealth of indications OF economic

to be attached to the malicious gossip

cesses--sometimes these difficulties
are even painted in too sombre colors
In order to concentrate the attention
of the proletariat on overcoming them.
The fact, however, must never be for
gotten that these difficulties are not
an indication of decline of an an

its having arrived at a deadlock; they
are due to the great historical task
Of the Soviet government, the task OF
