flee himself for religion, but that he
only asks thai the Mexican authorities
do not stab him in the back.
"All, this occurred more than five
months ago. The bishop has not been
assassinated, but he has turned over
to the authorities for defamation and
calumny, and because of this, is the
subject of judicial investigation.
Can the attitude of this minister of
Christ square with Christian doctrine,
which breaches love and good will
among men, and with the mission of
shepherd of souls?
"The American people, who so serene
ly understand these things, will be able
to judge whether, in a single case that
so far has been submitted to the ju-
dicia1 authorities, reason is on the side
of the Mexican government or on that
of the impulsiveness of the minister OF
Christ, who has in his attitude given
so clear a notion of his mission.
Mexico only hopes, in these ques-
tions, as in all others connected with
it's affairs that foreign opinion will
study with seriousness the points re-
lated to it's problems, and that such
opinions will fairly consider all phases
of the question.

is hindering liberty of conscience in
any way, as may be seen if one ex-
amines the question from all angles
and doe snot listen only to persons who,
with special motives, use this situation
to create a false impression Of the real
conditions"
After summarizing the newly-en-
forced legislation and tracing it's his
torical background, Senior Saenz con-
tinued, according to the Excelsior in
terview:
1.-THE enforcement of these laws is
that which has provoked the religious
discussion in Mexico.
LAS may be seen, there is in all the
foregoing no religious persecution, un-
less one regards as such the prohibi-
tion that foreigners must not exercise
religious functions in Mexico
ION the other hand, there is nothing
new in the laws except the fact that,
in primary schools, the instruction
must be secular.
'"The state does not wish to curb re-
ligious liberty since it prohibits re-
ligious instruction only in the primary
schools, but permits it in the second
airy schools. Furthermore, there re
all the religious instruction that one
may desire can be given.
''The fact that the Catholic church
has undertaken a campaign abroad
against my country is the repetition of
it's traditional attitude-that of at
tempting to restore its temporal do
minion in Mexico and engage in po-
litical struggles within the country. 1t
has had recourse to foreign countries,
asking support, to the detriment of the
patriotic feelings of the Mexican peo-
pie, who are more Jealous in political
Questions than in religious questions
The Mexican people, the majority of
whom are Catholics, has always frus-
trated any attempt to diminish it's SOW
ereignty or change it's political organ
ization, and has always known how to
defend such structure with intense and
constant effort.
IN conclusion, I wish to point to a
concrete fact:
''The bishop of Huejutla, Mexico, is
sued a proclamation in which he calls
the president of the republic an assas-
sin and bandit, and the Mexican au-
thorities he brands as arbitrary and
deceitful He hurls challenge to the
government and incites the people to
rebel by force against the authorities
and against the constitution, whose re-
pudiation he advises.
"This proclamation concludes by say
ing that the bishop is ready to sacri-

Mexican Charge D'Affaires
Explains Church Policy
Continued From Page one)

1.-The policy of President Gales gov
ernment is In fact continuation of
the one that prompted the reform
movement; and article 1870 of the con-
stituaion of 1917, dealing with re
ligieus questions, is in fact the i'm
corporation of article 123 of the con-
stitution of 1857, and of the reform
laws of 1859 The decree amending
the penal code does nothing but es-
tablish regulations for laws already
in existence for the last 20 years
"An unbiased consideration of the
facts cannot fail to; show the uniform
ity of policy IN regard to religious
questions during the last 20 years.
Any person with 4 clear idea of So
ciological and political movements
will realize that there must exist pow
erful reasons and special circum-
stances supporting the Mexican policy
in all matters touching religious ques.
tions during the last 10 years. No
unpopular moVemeht, no problem artf-
ficially created by q government can
survive in the political calendar of II
country during 10 years.
After the dictatorship of Porfiro
Diaz, our country found great prob
iiems to be solved The revolution of
1910 inaugurated a movement of new
political ideas. And Mexico is at pres
ent passing through a creative pc
riod spreading knowledge among the
lower classes, establishing credit in
stitutions for the benefit of industry
and agriculture, opening roads and
irrigating lands. 4 rich minority
rested upon the wretched condition Of
the poor majority. This situation has
been fully understood and now it IS
our purpose to make it clear to others
that the people must enjoy better con-
ditions in life. And in order to carry
out our purposes it has been necessary
to place the country i'll q producing
state and to make the people, through
education, capable to produce.
''At the present time, when the coun-
try is being reconstructed, the gov
ernment of Mexico has made clear that
the reactionary elements obstructing
it's work are being, as always before,
neuvers of the church and to it's call
to the people to disavow the consti-
tuition and the laws of the country,
the president has only answered, put
ting into force the laws already in
existence which had not been en-
forced through the tolerance of the
/ government"

After Church Closing

groups stood talking. But no large
assemblies could be seen, nothing
remotely approaching the scene of
the past fortnight when anxious
shrines eager to perform stheir de-
votions before the priests withdrew
to have their children baptised or
confirmed, or to go through the mar
riage ceremony.
With rare exceptions no priests
were seen today Many of them
were busily engaged in completing
inventories Of church property, as re-
quired by the government.
A great number of the churches
outside the city of Mexico already
are in the hands of municipal com
mittees, Notwithstanding that the
priests appointed lay committees to
take charge of the places of wor-
ship. Thus far no difficulties have
been reported, but in most cases
each committee is claiming authority.
The Mexico City cathedral where
the greatest outburst Of religious
fervor ever witnessed in Mexico, kept
the clergymen constantly on duty for
the past week, was closed -.oGay.'
This, it was understood was TO al
low the priests to compe:e their
inventory of it's great stnre of
treasures.
AS the last services were ended at
the cathedral last night Gordon of
police was placed around the edifice,
but this morning most of them were
withdrawn and only a few stood
guard at the gates through the day
The small groups which gathered
seemingly were actuated only by
curiosity and there were no signs of
disturbances.
So far as was known tonight the
same condition prevailed in all parts
of the republic, the only trouble
reported being that which took place
last night when officials by order
of the department OF justice, began
placing under government seal. church
property, with the exception OF the
places of worship. Disorders broke
out at that time in half dozen
places and about ten persons were
wounded when the excited crowds
began hurting stones at the officials.

tion than in most of the districts

GARzA REINDICTEn

Garza, secretary of the national
league for religious freedom, recently
freed on an indictment charging Sc
dition has been reindicted, says "a

Garza was arrested on the first

upon his promise to discontinue his

by the government when it found that
he, Garza, was taking an active
