MEXICO FEELING
 CATHOLIC BOYCOTT
No Settlement Near as Gloom Of
 Merchants Increases

Mexico City, Aug. 25 Pl-With no prospect of quick settlement of the religious controversy between the government and the Catholic church or lifting of the economic boycott called by the league for the defense of religious freedom in view the gloom in business circles daily in creases.
 In Mexico City decreases in the sales of commodities, except those considered absolute necessities, are being noticed more and more in many lines of business, although the capital thus far is said to be less affected than other parts of the republic.
 Meanwhile the Catholic Episco- pate, with the assistance of some of the best attorneys of Mexico City who are Catholics and have volun- teered their services, are working upon a memorial to be presented to the new congress which eenvenes September 1. The memorial will pray for an amendment of the re- ligious clauses of the constitution or for modification of the regulations recently formulated for carrying out the provisions of the constitution.
 The Episcopate in a formal state ment says the deputies already con- ceded as having been elected and

MEXICAN GOVT. MAY
 BE MINUS SENATE
Absence Of Quorum Of Accepted :. Legislators Is Cause

Mexico City, Aug. 25 Rl-Mexico's hectic congressional politics may re- suit in the new congress which con- venes September 1 being without a senate, says Fl Universal Grafico.
 Until recently, declares the news paper, it appeared probable that there would be two rival chambers Of deputies, each claiming the right to function. At present this diff culty seems to have been smoothed over. although the electoral college Is still attempting to decide contests elections.
 Fl Universal Grafico asserts that the senators declared to have been elected In 13 of Mexico's 27 states will not be accepted by the minority parties in the senate, composing the revolutionary democratic bloc" and that this will prevent a two-thirds quorum in the upper chamber, without which the senate cannot meet. The newspaper adds that in this event the deputies have to meet without a senate until President Gales calls special state elections for the choosing of new senators.
 Campillo Seyde, president of the permanent congressional commis- sion, said today that the chamber of deputies would convene Septem- ber l and function regardless Of whether the senate meets or not.

Nair Sends Out Notices
 Of Committee Meeting

In order to preclude the possibil- ity of being again accused of call- ing committee meetings on snap notice, Alderman D. L. Nair, chair man of the committee on revising the rules of the council, said today that he has ordered cards sent at once to the committee members, notifying them of a meeting to be held Wednesday evening, Septem- Der 8.
 Councilman Samuel Sablotsky of the sixth ward, who did not attend the first meeting Of the committee, and was criticized for his absence, stated that he had not received mo- tice in time, and accused Alderman Nair Of calling meetings at his own convenience and without proper no- tice to the members.
New Britain herald., 1926-08-25

those who may win seats through contests in the electoral college are pledged in advance to support the religious policy of President Gales but that it prays they may change their minds for the good of the country.
 Episcopate Pleased
 Pleasure was expressed yesterday by the Episcopate over statemew said to have been made by Aaaron Saenz, Mexican foreign minister, in San Antonio, Texas, recently. This was to the effect that Senor Saenz was of the belief that when laws Of constitutional provisions worked against the best interests of the country they either should be repeal ed or amended.
 Senor Saenz, however, returned to the capital today from his vacation in the United States and said that the interview attributed to him in San Antonio was incorrect. He then gave his observations on the situ- ation as follows:
 While law is law in Mexico the government will enforce it, thus full filling it's duty. Until amended by legal means a law must be obeyed as a whole by everybody.
 without attempting to forecast what the next congress will do as regards the religious question, I can assure you the new congress is iden- tified with the principles upheld by the present administration, although this does not mean that I deny the right to legislate enjoyed by the representatives of the people"
 Senor Saenz declared the religious question in Mexico was thing of the past in American public opinion and that only sectarian groups were showing interest in it. Many import ant newspapers, he added, had been impartial in their news of the situ ation anC that a large number of dailies and magazines were recogniz-
