ECONOMIC BOYCOTT MAY Be FACTOR
SETTLING RELIGIOUS DISPUTE
Immediate Settlement of Con-
IitrOversy in Mexico Appears
Doubtful-Danger of Wide
spread Violence or Armed
Rebellion, However, Be-
licved Over

Mexico City. Aug. l---tR.-The
situation growing out Of the new
religious regulations seems to have
reached the stage Of marking time.
There is less optimism daily of an
immediate settlement of the contro-
versy. but the general conviction is
that the danger of widespread vio.
lcnce or armed rebellion has passed,
practically.
Great speculation, coupled with
much uneasfness, exists. however.
over the outcome Of the economic
boycott called by the National League
for Defense Of Religious Liberty, in
protest against the religious regula
tions. Some observers Of the situa-
tion express the belief that the boy
colt may becom~ the determining
factor in the dispute between the
church authorities and the govern
ment. 1t is their opinion that any
marked falling off in business may
cause the government to lessen the
rigors Of its religious policy.
Business Falling OFF
Reports received here indicate
that the boycott already has brought
a reduction in business in some parts
Of the republic. but exactly to what
extent is not known. Mexico City
moving picture houses. are beginning
to show some decrease in attendances,
presumably attributable to the boy
cOtt. Outw6rdly, however. business
and other life in the capital appears
to remain about normal.
Only normal numbers Of Worship
pers are visiting the priestless
churches. ali Of which. except where
there has been difficulty in arrang-
ing inventories Of the treasurer and
other property. at present are in the
hands Of municipal authorities.
The authorities are continuing
further investigation Of reports by
various committees that numerous

WADE TELLS OF POLAR EX-
 PEDTTIOR COMING SUMMER

New York k.-Lieut 2 Leigh Wade, who will lead Polar flying expedi- Hon this coming summer, said today: "ff an unknownycontinent is found, of which we feel certain, lying north of Siberia and Alaska, we will establish base there, and from that point will make.a .round-trip flight, to the Pole, which may be made in about three hours, provided flying conditions are rigrt- We will be equipped with five Douglas planes, each having three 220 horsepower motors: If land is dlscov- cred and favorable place is found to establish base, 1.-the expedition will spend 9the winter there."
 Lieut.. Wade said that his flight will be~a9raee with Russian ar aguadrons for land north Of Alaska and Siberia, which may be used as military fly opinion and also of the members of the party that the bolsheviks plan to beat us in finding a continent in the uncharted seas above Alaska, and those who would stop to think a mili- tary flying base would be possible in the Arctic basin, to wibFina few days flying distance fro mmost of the im- portant cities in the Northern Hem isphere, the menace of the holshevik would be eliminated by such a base.
 ''In closing Nrangell Island, Ram chatka and the peninsula of North eastern, Siberia to foreigners" Wade continued, 'is one of the events which bases my belief the Soviet flyers are planning an expedition. It is declared that this is known in we'll known army circles, that the Soviet air forces have as much equipment and as large a personnel as the United States. It was said they believed the Russians feared the United States would claim Wrangell Island, which would make it possible for an inter mediate flying base on the route to one we might e stablish further north, provided land is found"

 Last Congress.

Washington, March 11.-aThe elec- tion of canvassing board for Alaska was thrown out of gear when the, last Congress abolished the office of Sur veyor General, he being one of the three officers designated by law to certify the result of election of dele gate to Congress. To remedy this the House has passed bill, and the Sen ate has reported it in amended form.
