Mexico Assemblies
For Many Questions

new congress assembled at o'clock
tonight with the prospect of having
to take under consideration some OF
the most important questions that

attention largely to foreign relations
and the general development and

The American government had
asked for notifications. but the
Mexican government replied, sustain
ing its right to enact and enforce
these laws, fundamentally because
the enactment ard enforcement OIL
these laws could not effect legiu-
mately acquired rights further than
what is permitted by the principles
of right, justice and equity.
The religious question. labor ieg1s-
lation and a constitutional amend
ment, enc effect of which might be 10
permit general Alvaro Opregon again
to assume presidency of Mexico, are
among the subjects to be discussed
by the congress.
The Catholic episcopate will petit
ton congress to amend or repeal the
religious clauses of the constitution,
under which President Gales pro-
nluleated the regulations" which
caused the suspension OF services IN
all the Catholic churches.
With regard to the presidential
succession the constitution of 1917
provides that 1.-The president will re-
main in power four years, and may
never be reelected"
Many friends of General Obregon,
who was president Immediately pre-
cedinr Gales, want him again as
president when Gales term expires
